Railing Services & Installers in Philadelphia

“Mike Williams did a fabulous job designing the stairs for our contemporary home. The stairs are beautiful as well as durable, and have become the design centerpiece of my home. Mike was patient during the design process and provided very many options and overall guidance. He helped us make a good decision and followed through every step of the way. I could not recommend Ascend and Mike any more highly.”

“I wanted to provide an interesting and safe access to a small tree house in our backyard and contacted Salter. I had seen many of their ads in several of the builder magazines I get. I contacted them and provided photos and dimension for the access area. Received an approval drawing, modified as needed and ordered. I had a couple of question during the ordering process and during assembly. Nothing major and the customer service people answered promptly. I used the galvanized material and painted before assembly with touch up following assembly. No problems with assembly. Kids love the spiral stairs. Has been installed about 9 months, no issues”

“What a find with Ron! I was looking for a contractor to update and remodel my formal staircase and began searching the web for a contractor. I found Ron’s website and was impressed with the reviews of his work but was most impressed with the tone of honesty it projected. I was a little hesitant as you can’t always believe what you read on the internet right? All I can say is in this case I am a believer. I contacted Ron and the journey began……He was punctual for the consultation appointment, offered fabulous design ideas and within days received the estimate for the job. Of course due to the prerogative of a woman to change her mind I decided to add a few things and the new estimate arrived and we scheduled the work. Again Ron arrived on the date agreed upon and on time and the work began. He was very professional and at the end of the day you would have never known he was there except my new staircase was being created. Upon completion the staircase is just gorgeous and when people come into my home they are speechless, in addition it added value to my home. I am in the process of remodeling my basement and of course Ron was contacted for the staircase/railing work. If you are looking for a professional, punctual, meticulous and honest contractor to create an awesome staircase in your home Ron is your go to guy!”

“Still the best stair company around. I've worked for another stair company and Myron would be my choice. Thumbs up to you Myron”

“I ordered custom made staircase railing for my house I recently moved into. It was great experience, done on time, installed without problem. Well worth the money, nice quality with touch of art. Definitely would recommend this company!”

“It's always a pleasure to work with the Pinto Carpentry team. They did an excellent job installing the stair railings and posts for this project. Excellent quality, service, and attention to detail every time.”

“John is a true craftsman. He took the initiative to tailor my railings to the overall design and aesthetic feel of my home. He worked nonstop to complete the job quickly while focusing on quality work. I highly recommend him!”

“Tom was conscientious and timely... did exactly what suited me and it was his every intention to be sure I was pleased... excellent workmanship and professionalism... would definitely use him again.”

“We bought an old house in Asbury Park, NJ which had a very old railing that had fallen apart in a lower section and was missing entirely at the top of the stairs. The rest of the railing, probably built in the 1930's, was still intact and in great shape with some very attractive simple details. We wanted to do our best to keep the original railing and match it as best we could. After having SEVERAL other contractors tell us that the railing couldn't be matched, or just refusing to do the job because it wasn't "big" enough... we finally got a very reasonable estimate from American Stair & Rail... and had a good impression of Peter who estimated the job. He seemed knowledgeable and offered lots of suggestions about how we could possibly widen the railing in places where it was too narrow to move furniture upstairs. We couldn't be more pleased with the final results... American Stair matched the spindles of the original staircase PERFECTLY and even the hand rail which others told us couldn't be matched. Bob, who did the carpentry work, is a true craftsman. I never thought they would have been able to make the rickety part of the railing sturdy again, but now it's as sturdy as a mac truck! The only thing that American Stair & Rail couldn't do (and they were up front about this from the very first estimate) was match the newel post caps which look like they were originally made custom for our staircase. But even then, Rene and Susan bent over backwards to try to find a good match... and when it couldn't be done, they provided us with all new matching caps for the whole staircase, and also gave us some suggestions for millworkers in case we ever wanted to have custom matching caps made at a later time. American Stair and Rail represents the type of old school artisans and family-style run businesses that are unfortunately all too rare these days. I HIGHLY recommend them.”

“Wesley (Reinert) put backs/risers on my floating staircase. It was a job no one else wanted, but he was up for a challenge and did a great job. Was quick too, and very neat and courteous. I would definitely hire him again.”
