We hired Peter and the Premier Stairs team to build and install basement stairs including a landing, as part of our basement underpinning reno. We also decided to replace the upstairs stairs and railings, as part of the project too. There were three things that were important to us in finding the right group to do our stairs: (1) quality of workmanship (2) easy to work with, and (3) price.
QUALITY - we are beyond pleased with the finish product. The design, the construction, and the installation are all excellent. Peter's attention to detail is great, and he takes a lot of pride in his work. He is committed to getting it right - every detail from the treads and stringers, the nosing, the caulking and the painting, and railings. All elements done very very well. We selected open treads and glass railings, and the new stairs have transformed our home. And because the finished product is done very well, we're thrilled.
EASY TO WORK WITH - we worked with a lot of contractors on our basement reno, as well as on other home reno projects over the years. We would describe ourselves as very reno savvy, and we have learned the differences between contractors who are a pleasure to work with, and conversely others who are not. Without hesitation, we would describe Peter as very easy to work with. He is a good communicator, he does what he says, and he is flexible as required. We would describe Peter as a partner, and among the easiest contractors we've worked with.
PRICE - as for price, Premier wasn't the lowest quote we assessed, but also wasn't the highest. That said, we found their pricing to be very fair, and excellent value for money, given the end result.
RECOMMENDED - we don't foresee needing stairs again; that said, knowing what we know now about Premier Stairs, we'd gladly choose them again, and most certainly we recommend these guys to others.
