### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Sebastian Benavides, Nov. 2026**

> Exceptional Craftsmanship, Honesty, and Integrity — OC Stairs Is Truly Outstanding!
>
> I am writing this review with heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the incredible work OC Stairs has done for our family and our home.
>
> We live in Yorba Linda, in a home built in the 1970s, and our staircase was outdated, no longer met current building codes, and desperately needed remodeling. After researching several companies, we were fortunate enough to find OC Stairs, and I couldn’t be more grateful!
>
> From our very first meeting, Ed and Matt were absolutely exceptional. Their honesty, professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine pride in their craftsmanship were evident throughout the entire process. Every step was clearly communicated, and their commitment to excellence never wavered.
>
> They also introduced us to Rick Merwin of Fine Vintage Solutions, which turned out to be another incredible blessing. Together, these two teams worked tirelessly to transform our home in an impressively short timeframe without sacrificing quality or precision.
>
> What truly sets these individuals apart is their integrity and the genuine care they show their customers. Every member of the team was professional, respectful, and dedicated. They didn’t just treat us like clients — they treated us like family.
>
> The transformation of our home has exceeded our expectations, and our family couldn’t be happier!
>
> I wholeheartedly recommend OC Stairs and Rick Merwin of Fine Vintage Solutions to anyone looking for exceptional craftsmanship, honesty, and attention to detail. You will be in wonderful hands!

> Thank you, Ed, Matt, Rick, and your amazing teams, for transforming our house into a home we absolutely love. We are truly grateful and blessed to have found you! Five stars simply aren’t enough!

**★★★★★ — nwalker415, April 2026**

> The project came out perfect. From day one everybody involved was efficient and easy to work with. They were very respectful of my home and kept it clean every day through the process I couldn’t have asked for a better crew.

**★★★★★ — Kylene Kennedy, April 2026**

The attention to detail, precision, timeliness, product quality and a dedicated professional team that showed up daily and on time!

**★★★★★ — HU-812829007, March 2025**

**★★★★★ — HU-277800841, Dec. 2024**

> 20 years ago OC Stairs / Design Hardwoods installed an extensive staircase in my home during a large remodel. The staircase, which spanned 2 1/2 floors, was beautiful and flawless.  After 20 years the staircase stood up well but needed some minor repairs comprised mainly of loose balusters.  So, I contacted Ed Topalian  and asked him if his installation team could return to my home and do the repairs.  He eagerly honored my one year warranty after all those years and sent one of his experts to do the repairs.  Ed and his team were very professional and a pleasure with which to work.  As a very satisfied customer I can say that I highly recommend OC Stairs / Design Hardwoods.  Tom O’Connor

**★★★★★ — HU-891034172, Oct. 2024**

> Ed and his team did a fantastic job from start to finish on our new staircase . Ed was professional and patient from the beginning . The installers were polite and quietly efficient. Brent the finisher and his team were equally professional and did a great job .  Having the experience of owning a cabinet shop we can truly appreciate the craftsmanship that Ed provided . It’s so  refreshing to have talented professionals take pride in their work .  Very pleased .

**★★★★★ — CAR, Oct. 2024**

> We are blown away by the GORGEOUS stairs that OC Stairs built for us!!! From the initial design phase to the last baluster installed, the entire process was executed with extreme expertise & genuine care by Ed & his entire team. These people are true craftsmen…they are precise, professional & a delight to have in our home. Everyone who walks through the front door & immediately sees our stairs, is completely captivated  by the beauty of the design, workmanship, & wood. Including a paramedic fireman who answered an emergency call in our home & after it was all over, stood at the bottom of the stairs & told us how beautiful they were!! Thank you Ed & OC Stairs! We couldn’t be happier!

**★★★★★ — Lauren Hurwitz, Oct. 2024**

> We just finished a job with Ed and his crew from OC Stairs and could not have been happier with the entire project from start to finish.  Beginning with the design phase, Ed was completely invested in making sure we made the best decisions possible.  He showed us all the options, was very patient with our questions and made sure the construction and flooring would all work together perfectly.  His crew are all craftsmen and worked so hard making the design come to life.  They all take such pride in their work and it shows.  We now have a beautiful new staircase and are very grateful to have been able to work with Ed.  Highest recommendation to anyone looking to design or re-do a staircase.  Thank you Ed and OC Stairs!
