Ensure top quality for your
Stair and Railing Project
My experience with RKB Stairs and Railings was seamless from start to finish. Mike came out to look at my stairs and explained things that might need to be done. He was quick but thorough in his visit. For the installation, Rick was on time with arriving at the time he gave me. He was super kind and went above and beyond what I expected. My previous stairs were clearly not done by someone with experience, and Rick had to make adjustments on the fly to ensure everything was installed well. I’m rarely 100% pleased, and Rick absolutely met my expectations and more! Highly recommend!
Rick did an amazing job with our stairs. His professionalism and quality is untouchable. Highly recommend him! Thank you Rick for an amazing job. We are very happy with how it looks.

Therefore, we decided to spend more to get a new modern look. We struggled to find a vendor who was able to replace just the stairs and railings without a full replacement of the staircase.

Rick came back after sanding was complete to install the spindles which took around 4 hours.Process:Prior to the installation, we had to decide on type of spindles and railing type (curved or flat rail). Once decided, Rick was able to provide a competitive quote. The rest of measurements were completely taken care of by Rick.Day of – Rick set up shop in our garage. (Be warned that there will be a significant amount of sawdust created from cutting of the posts and railing). The materials for the post and rails were brought and assembled on site. He began with removing the existing spindles and posts. Then the nosing was replaced and holes for the spindles we’re drilled on site. Then he installed the new square posts followed by installation of the railings and connecting to the posts. He improved the stability of the posts compared to the pr... read more
