Veteran owned company with great prices and wonderful communication!
"The company was on time and where really professional and my job was done right and they called the next day to make sure every thing was still working. I would highly recommend these guys.. Thanks, Michael Vickery"
"These guys were GREAT! I had had a terrible experience with another fence company (from Angi) and Galvan had to come in and fix it. They came that week, were prompt every day, did high quality work and were very reasonable with their fee understanding that I had already spent the budget with the other company. Honest, personable and competent crew. Highly recommens."
"Overall a great experience. Great communication before, during and after job. Punctual and polite. Even redid a portion of floor and came back later to install additional base and transfers as owner did not have materials on hand. Great guy and reliable."
"Great! They exactly matched my custom kitchen cabinets in our pantry that we topped with a quartz counter. You can’t tell the difference between the custom kitchen cabinets and the new, butler’s pantry cabinets. They did uppers as well as lowers and we also got open shelving on top as well."
"From the start Mike was very professional and pleasant when he came to give us an estimate for painting the outside soffit around the whole house outside, porch railings, pickets and stairs. When we decided to have him do the job, as his price was reasonable for the work wanted, we called and he stated he would send a contract and have the work done by 10-30-14, which was 2 weeks away and would take 1 1/2 days to complete. He called on 10-21-14 and stated he would be at the house on 10-23-14. All the work was done and it looks terrific. There was no mess to clean up, they did it all. We are very happy with his work and would highly recommend him and have him do any future painting needed at our home. "
"They only stayed 1.5 hrs when they were hired for 2 hours. There were streaks and footprints all over the tile after they washed it. The bedroom was completely dusty after they vacuumed. Almost as if they needed to empty their bag. They used one swiffer pad to do all the floors in the house, including the bathrooms and kitchen. They wiped the counters in the kitchen down, but didnt move anything, so they were still dusty and dirty. On a positive note, they did do a nice job on the bathrooms."
Key signs that a railing or staircase needs replacement relate to instability, visible damage, and component failure. Check for any wobbling, creaking, or looseness when you apply weight. Visually inspect for cracks, splits, and damaged or missing balusters or spindles. For exterior deck railings, also look for specific signs of weather damage like visible rot, warping, and rusted hardware. Additionally, any railing that is outdated and does not meet current building codes should be replaced to ensure safety and prevent falls.
Building codes include several requirements that deal with the height, extension, and placement of staircase handrails. If your staircase is wider than 44 inches, for instance, you must install handrails on each side. If narrower than that, choose the side option that provides the most secure support structure for the handrail.
Maintenance needs for spiral staircases are similar to those of traditional stairs, but they may require more frequent attention to tight or intricate parts, such as small treads or curved railings. Metal stairs require periodic checks for rust, while wooden stairs require regular sealing or refinishing to maintain their appearance. Prompt attention to minor repairs can help you avoid larger expenses down the road.
In most cases, carpeting isn’t kind to the wood that it’s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.
Always begin by researching your local building codes and, when in doubt, speak with a local staircase company for confirmation. If you're estimating your handrail measurements, find the length of the nosing line of your steps—the horizontal line that touches the top of the tread of your steps. Measure between 34 and 38 inches up the walls for placement. The length of the handrail will then run the length of your nosing line or beyond, depending on local codes.
