Five stars are not enough! I researched potential contractors and fortunately chose Kurt Olmstead. He responded quickly and kept his commitments. He met with us several times to nail down exactly what we wanted. He patiently brought samples and walked us through the options. He matched the stain on the handrail to our floors and the post paint to our chosen trim color. He and his team demoed and replaced the existing railing, posts, etc. on-time and expeditiously. If I had known that he would have also done the steps, I would have had him do them. His workmanship is impeccable. They cleaned up every day, were courteous and accommodating. Please note that Kurt was not responsible for the finish-out - another thing I wish I had had him do. If only every contractor was like Kurt - absolutely outstanding! read more

He made sure I knew what all my choices were, matched the hand rail to my furniture, and helped me decide which components would look best together. He and his crew work well together; no smoking, swearing or harsh words. They had to work with my family going up and down the stairs, and were exceptionally courteous in moving their tools without a complaint. read more

Kurt and his crew did an amazing job! He came prepared with samples and pictures, which was great because I had no idea what I wanted to do! Unlike some of the other companies that came out, they did all the paint and staining of the wood so no other contractor was required. Most importantly, the craftsmanship was wonderful and our stairs are now gorgeous! Would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to redo their stairs. read more

When it was time to complete the stairs, Kurt and his team did a phenomenal job making them look beautiful and worked seamlessly with our builder. We are extremely pleased with the craftsmanship and quality of our new staircase and highly recommend Kurt. read more

I interviewed several contractors before I settled on Kurt. And I'm glad I did. From the first moment he inspired trust and confidence. It took a couple of months from that first meeting until I signed up on the job. During this time, Kurt always returned my calls quickly and never tired of answering questions in my quest for one wood or another. Even when I decided to change the flooring as well, he helped me with advice and a referral who was also very helpful. Every time I walk up and down those stairs, I'm still amazed how great they look. Our family and friends are just as impressed. Every single detail was taken care of; there are no gaps, no nails, no scuffs. The stain is beautiful and matches the wooden floor perfectly. Kurt was on time every day, cleaned up after himself every day and finished exactly when he said he will. Add to that the most competitive bid, and I considered myself pretty lucky. You will too when you hire Kurt. read more

PICKY? That's us (my wife and I). Did most of the complete renovation of our 2 story home ourselves-including building furniture. This took 4 years. Gonna live here forever. But a new staircase was outside of my abilities. This was really important to the overall look of the interior, and my wife wouldn't let me put it off any longer. So the search began... I solicited several bids. The companies bidding seemed fine, with plenty of portfolios, samples, references and polish. But I felt like it was just another job to them. I wanted someone who would treat my staircase with the same love and attention to detail as WE had put in to the rest of the house. Then we found Kurt. Kurt Olmstead is an expert at what he does. He is the one who does the entire project-not a salesman, not a dispatcher, not a foreman who oversees other installers-but the talented craftsman who IS the company. With the help of his 2 employees, they started on Monday, and was completely finished on Thursday. The staining was perfect, the existing moldings were all trimmed to meet the staircase, painted and caulked.The treads were all leveled, the bannister and newel posts are absolutely beautiful! And his price was at the lower end of all the bids. read more

I recently found out about Kurt's work through clients and referred him to my parents who were in desperate need of a new staircase. His company is professional and a pleasant to work with. My parents were amazed by his knowledge and expertise and the fact he finished the project in a timely matter. I had interviewed several other contractors for my parents, and we feel we made the best decision. The new oak risers and bullnose treads were installed to perfection. His company left my parents place even cleaner then when they arrived. I would highly recommend Kurt for staircase needs. My parents have gotten so many complements and were extremely satisfied with the outcome of their new staircase. read more
