San Francisco Metal Stair Installation

Unlike other companies I contacted, Michael returned my calls very promptly every time. Michael was very helpful, informative, and professional. I wasn't exactly sure what styles I wanted so he gave me some recommendations that came out beautifully. He arrived early on the date of the work and finished early. The workmanship is excellent. I am so pleased with the finished product. I would highly recommend Classical Stairways.

After talking to 4-5 different companies, we hired Classical Stairways to modernized our staircase. Their price was great. The person who came out to do the job was very nice, punctual and really took pride in his job. The stairs looked great. The job took the 2 days that was quoted.

We were referred to Lech Kozubek by our handyman, Hector Mathes, of HMM's Helping Hand. The wooden front staircase of our 1908 wood frame house was damaged, how badly, I did not understand. Lech provided an excellent assessment of the problem, and gave us a tiered estimate, based on best-case and what we thought was worst-case scenarios for the repair. As it turned out, there was extensive dry rot in the substructure of the staircase, and essentially the entire thing had to be torn out and re-done, including some concrete work on the foundation. The job turned out to be much bigger than any of us expected. Lech took me through that process in a straightforward, professional, and stictly honest fashion. He physically showed me where the problems were. I have worked with other contractors who approached such situations with a high-handed "I'm a contractor and you don't know anything" approach. In contrast, Lech assumed that I knew, or would want to know, exactly what needed to be done and why. Incidental to the process of repairing the staircase, he taught me quite a bit. The work he did was precise. Lech is exactly the kind of man you want if you have to have someone poking around in the guts of your house. He is a perfectionist. He had to redesign the stairs, because the original stairs were not true, square, level, or sloped appropriately to drain. He took his time and did a terrific job, exceeding code standards. The final result was amazing: a new staircase with a reinforced substructure and improved foundation. His work was beyond fault. Meticulous is the best word I can find to describe Lech and his work. Perhaps perfectionist would do as well. Speaking of codes, Lech did an unbelievable job working with the Building Department and the Planning Department in San Francisco. He has been working in the area long enough that he is intimately familiar with the twisting, downright Machiovellian, nature of bureaucracy in The City. He was able to navigate that system without costing us an extra several hundred dollars in city fees and and extra who-knows-how-much for architectural plans. The work he did with the inspectors and bureaucrats was similar to the work he did on the structure itself: concise, precise, honest, and perfect. While I firmly hope never to have to be involved in a project on this scale again, I would hire Lech and Kozubek Construction again tomorrow. He's a good man and a great worker.

No surprises, satisfied overall, but attention to detail was inconsistent. The stair railings were generally well built, but in one section they meet a post at different angles, not a huge deal but annoying considering that it was easily avoidable. The landing was nicely done, as was the fascia, although there Manuel had to redo some sloppy work performed by his assistant.

Ariel Delaquintana came every day he said he would and built us a two story spiral galvanized steel staircase in our back yard, The job included two areas for small decks and landings for each story. He travelled from the peninsula, but arrived on time each day. When the co-vid restrictions were lifted he finished the job on budget. and he and his assistant Marvin left the place clean and tidy each day. We are very pleased with the job and happy to recommend him. Now we are enjoying a larger yard for our garden and using the deck for morning coffee and afternoon beverages--thanks to Ariel. After two weeks he called to check and see if everything was OK and promised to stop by and fix one squeaky spot. Nice that the contractor called us and not us having to call the contractor.

David did an amazing job. I had him working at our house, he was a jack of all trades and I needed someone with multiple skill sets. He did extensive siding work, including removal of a full fireplace. He reassembled everything, robbed siding from the back of the house and blended it in (it was hard to find). He built closets and a fence and bench seating on a brick wall. He is resourceful, clean, professional. A great value. Great communicator, hard worker. Thanks Dave, appreciate all your hard work.

Don worked diligently for three hours and was very methodical with the process. His work was impeccable and did everything he could to bring the stairs back to its original state. No shortcuts, instead took the time to enhance the the previous work making the stairs usable and safe again. Great, honest and dependable person.

Excellent quality. Wayne's estimate was a little higher than the rest but the work product was magnificent. We remodeled the staircase with his balusters before we sold our house, and I believe it contributed to the overall appearance and marketability of the house. The workmanship of the final product was also terrific.

Javier was very professional gave me a written estimate, did the job promptly and was very punctual and left everything super clean. He did a great job. He also wired a motion light outside mu=y house.my house

Robert, came out and did a great job replacing my old wood garage attic stairs which broke to a new metal one.
