Matt did a great job at a fair price. He installed urgently needed hand rails on my outside steps. He went out of his way to schedule the job to fit my needs.

He did good, quality work installing our porch railing. He brought all the necessary tools and supplies, but managed to keep his area clean as he went. He arrived in the morning and was finished by sundown. He left us some of the paint for any touching up if needed.

Matt was wonderful to work with. He responded promptly. He did a fantastic job of repairing and painting existing porch railing and installing a new hand rail. He is reliable, friendly and expert at his craft.

Matt did a fantastic job making and installing an iron railing for our stairs in the museum district. We had looked around for railing companies to do the job but they could only provide aluminum railings that wouldn’t match our neighbors. Not only did Matt craft, install, and paint beautiful iron railings that fit with the neighbors, his quote was more reasonable than the railing companies I contacted, and he got the job done quickly. We are very happy with the result!

Working with Matt has been great. He is very professional, makes recommendations that provide the best outcomes, he is on time with project completion dates, and the quality of his work is excellent. I had two rod iron railings in front of my house that had rusted so badly that they detached from the concrete. Matt repaired them and made them look new! Very happy.
