Based on all the positive reviews, I expected a much better job than what I received. I was initially disappointed when Moe provided us with the quote. We specified that we needed to replace the stairs as well as the nosing. Moe sent us a quote for the whole job, and then when he came to the house to close the deal, he added an additional $900 for the nosing. I chalked this up to my misunderstanding and still hired him based on the positive reviews.
Although he finished the work in the time allotted, the final product was very poorly done. The stairs were not fully stained; he left gaps where the bare wood is exposed. Also, where the spindles were re-installed, he (his worker) didn't bother to fill in the nail holes - leaving fragments of the nails exposed.
Moe didn't actually do the bulk of the installation - his worker (Quinn) did. I had to ask him to please cover the obvious gaps. He did ... reluctantly.
I don't care about the mess (complete with empty Tim Hortons cups) they left behind. I do care about all the patch work they left for us to do.
His prices would be reasonable if he finished the job right. In our case at least, he didn't seem to care.
The only reason I'm writing this review, is because I've been spending my day on touching up the mistakes, and feel others should know that his reviews don't really reflect the quality of all his work.
Moe may be a nice man, but he did a very poor job for us. I can't recommend him at all.
