Daniel and Spencer both did a fantastic job bringing our railing up to code by adding extra spindles between the existing ones (which were too far apart and a safety hazard little kids). Daniel provided us with an honest and competitive quote and we decided to hire him based on his great expertise in carpentry. We got several quotes from other people, but they seemed less well versed in the trade and we were either a) concerned they would mess up our railing or b) they were much more expensive (for no apparent reason).
Though it took a while for Daniel to have time to come (guess he's in very high demand!), he got the job done on schedule and as promised - in a day (a very long one!). The guys did an absolutely fantastic job! The railing looks completely original (we can't tell the spindles he installed from the originals they put back in - which was the whole point) and is sturdy, attractive and safe. When Daniel has some more time available, we'll be having him come back to do more work (cabinetry/built-ins). He does an extremely professional, capable, thoughtful (has good style and design ideas) and meticulous job. While he's not the cheapest on the market (though his price is definitely very competitive), you really get what you pay for with him. Since quality of work was important to us, we felt our house was in very good hands with these guys.
