"Our experience is identical to what other reviewers shared. And yes, you should run from this company as fast as you can. Do not buy what Abraham shared that the payment must be made when the inspection is passed. Check the Business and Professions code yourself, the payment only needs to be made when the job is completed. It is very COMMON that the job is not even done or poorly performed even the inspection is passed. Here are the issues that multiple families including us run into with this company:: The project was delayed for over 9 months. No one manages the job. He often employs young men from his own Jewish community. They are enthusiastic but had no prior experience. The worse part is that they don't get paid. Two of them even set up a new construction business knowing Abraham will never pay them. Subcontractors can put your house on lien also. Many reviews you see on Yelp, Google, Angi are NOT genuine. Even the references are fake with hindsight, we were given 2 references. One reference shared the exact same accent as the PM. The other reference was initially happy with their work, but then reached out to us and shared a similar horror story with them like what we experienced. You will lose a lot of $$$ on materials as the subcontractors will somehow leave a thousand dollars worth of quartz at home. Maybe they want to compensate for the money Abraham owed them? Let me tell you, reordering materials is not fun."

"We were looking to remodel our kitchen or bath for a few years. We kept getting estimates from different companies and always felt the price was off or the person was not a good fit. Then, finally, we met Shai with Cal Green Remodeling. What a great guy! He is very upfront and honest about what we can expect in terms of cost and work flow. Because of his honest approach, we hired him. We felt he gave us the good and bad and how to resolve the bad as well. In the end, the process was fairly smooth, and the few hick-ups we had, for example, the city and their permit process, were well explained to us at the beginning, so we were ready. Our kitchen or bath looks amazing, and I plan to work with Cal Green Remodeling again. Thanks Shai!"

"I found Build the Bay through Angi’s List and I’m so glad we went with them for our bathroom update/remodel! Working with Eitan and his team was like night and day compared to other contractors I have worked with in the past. Specifically what I appreciated is that he treated me with respect and would take the time to explain in layman’s terms what was needed. (I’m not a construction pro by any means.) Eitan even shared a list of vendors that he has worked with in the past for materials and finishes, as well as a checklist to ensure I ordered all the finishing pieces in time. He would even be willing to review any products I was interested in to let me know if it was good quality. It’s only normal for unexpected issues to come up during construction, and what was also great is how communicative Eitan and his team were with me. They would quickly let me know what the issue was, explain what my options were, the cost for each, and what those options would mean in the long run. Eitan always responded very promptly via email or text if I had any questions or requested any updates. Our project has been done for about a month now and I have to say that I strongly feel like Eitan and his team delivered high quality bathrooms in a timely manner. I would definitely reach out to the Build the Bay team again if we needed to do work on our home again."

"Oscar truly stands out as a contractor who cares deeply about his clients, and that’s exactly how he made me feel. I reached out to five different contractors to assess my bathroom and offer ideas, but my experiences varied significantly. Some were overly sales-driven, others dismissed my ideas entirely, and one didn’t even follow up with an estimate. Oscar, however, was a breath of fresh air. He arrived on time, listened attentively to my ideas, and offered thoughtful suggestions. He was highly collaborative with the other workers on site, making sure everything was well coordinated. Oscar's expertise in the industry is evident, and he’s exceptionally creative when it comes to problem-solving. When he identified additional challenges during the project, he took the time to offer practical solutions, demonstrating his commitment to delivering the best result.

Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

A handrail should start at the bottom step's riser and extend to the top riser, continuing slightly beyond both the top and bottom steps if possible. A good rule of thumb is from the nosing of the upper landing to the nosing of the lowest step. This extra length provides better grip and safety when entering or exiting the staircase.

Local building codes can vary, but it's most common for a handrail to be required when there are three or more steps. It may be a good idea to install one with two-step stairs if someone in the home may have difficulty using the stairs without one. Always check local codes to see what's required in your area. 

There are several ways you can finish stairs. If you like the carpeted look, you may choose to install new carpeting for an update. This is often the easiest way to proceed since the stairs' condition and appearance won’t matter as much if the staircase is in good structural shape. 

The condition of the stairs under the carpet can dictate your next move. You can sand, stain, and apply a clear coat if the stairs are hardwood. You can also paint the stairs, try epoxy floor ideas, or install new hardwood treads if the stairs are made with plywood.

Permit requirements for replacing stair railings vary by location. In many areas, minor repairs or replacements that don’t alter the structure do not require a permit. However, significant changes, especially those that affect structural integrity or involve major design alterations, often need a permit. Check with your local building authority to ensure you comply with any regulations.

Spiral staircases can be safe for all ages if designed with features such as code-compliant handrails, non-slip treads, and proper spacing. However, narrow treads and steep angles may pose challenges and a safety hazard for young children or those with mobility issues, so consider safety upgrades or alternative designs if needed.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
