Nord Ost Railings

We had the flooring redone in our house through McLaughlin Flooring. They recommended Max to update the stairs. Max was incredible. He provided us with a quote and information on the process. Nice guy with an exceptional work ethic. The workmanship and attention to detail were incredible. He was able to match the stairs to our new flooring. The stairs were completed on budget and much quicker than was estimated. We are extremely happy. Overall, one of the best experiences weve had with a contractor. We would definitely recommend Nord-Ost.

We replaced the hardwood flooring on our second level and refinished our staircase. Our flooring contractor recommended Max from Nord-Ost to complete all the work on the stairs. Max provided a very competitive quote, was very patient and responsive to our questions, and got to work quickly. Throughout the renovation of the stairs, he told us what he was doing and why and the timelines associated with each step along the way. He worked tremendously hard and his attention to detail was incredible. He was careful to pack away all his equipment at the end of each day and clean up the workspace and ensured that the stairs were useable each night. The old stairs were creaky and crooked and the new stairs that he built are beautifully finished and perfectly sturdy. He managed to match the stain on our existing floor downstairs and built a new railing from scratch to match the new staircase. We cannot recommend Max strongly enough.

My elderly disabled parents were looking to get rid of all the carpet upstairs and the change the staircase as well (which also had a carpet liner), in preparation to sell the house. After sitting through a few companies, our final consult took place with Max and one of his associates (Rick and his guys Thomas and Attila). My father (who is incredibly hard to please) was floored by their professionalism, attentional to detail and overall knowledge. After that initial meeting, we quickly confirmed that we wanted to book them for our project as soon as possible. Max executed the staircase of our dreams and we are beyond pleased. He was extremely professional, tidied up every day, constantly kept us in the loop, took my parents disabilities into consideration, kind hearted and took absolute pride in his work. I could go on and on, but it was truly a pleasure (which most people wouldnt use to describe renovations). We were actually sad to see him go. He also may have done too good of a job because now my parents dont want to sell the house! If you have any doubts about choosing Max (and his associate Rick), let this review be a testament to how confident your decision should be to say YES! Thanks again for everything Max. Everyone, from friends, family and neighbours have been complimenting your work! Hope to see you again in the future for another project.

We are building a new house and our previous stair staining contractor messed up the colour. We called Max to fix it and he sanded the entire 3 stair cases down and restained them the correct colour to match our floors. This was extremely difficult to do, and it took more than a week, but he got it perfect!!! He had to replace the posts and the hand-rails as it would have been more expensive to sand and redo the old ones. It was much harder to fix the previous guy's mistake than it would have been to do it from the start. After our experience with the other guy we only trust Max with our stairs from now on!

I was having new floor installed and wanted to renovate my staircase (stairs, railing, spindles). My flooring contractor recommended Max from Nord-Ost. Max came out very quickly and gave me a very reasonable quote. He explained exactly what would be done and answered all of my questions. He was very patient with me while I was deciding the design I wanted. He worked well with the flooring guys making sure no one got in each others way. Max's attention to detail was phenomenal. He took such care in making sure the treads were cut exactly. He cleaned up at the end of each day and arrived everyday at the time he told me he would be hear. Max went over and above in helping me move box and fixed a few things that had nothing to do with the stairs. I am so in love with my new stairs. Thanks Max for a fantastic job.

Max is the BEST! He replaced my staircases and did an EXCELLENT job! His price was reasonable. His workmanship is 11/10 and his attention to detail is just amazing. He totally redid two staircases and I am extremely pleased. He is on time. He works hard. He leaves the work place extremely neat and tidy. He answers all questions and makes sure the customer is well informed and understands exactly what he is doing. I 100% recommend him for your stair work. If you need wood floors I recommended his friend RICK. Trust me.... use MAX!

Max did an incredible job on our stairway and railing replacement and renovation. The workmanship and quality is unmatched and the attention to detail is what you will notice. The old stairs were wonky and unbalanced and the results, while they are beautifully finished, are also strong, level and perfectly installed. No more creaking sounds!!!

Price was fair and he was open and honest with us on quality so that we knew and understood we were paying for the best.

Max works hard and does a great job of communicating to you when you need to know things or have to make choices on installation details.

We are so happy Max did this work for us and are recommending him far and wide.

Max is one of those guys that has pride in his work and is very meticulous to detail. He was recommended to me and I in turn will recommend him to you. Very happy with his work and you will be too. Nothing is done unless he has your approval first. He is an artiste in his trade.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail that Max has is truly incredible!! He replaced all the stairs, hand rail and pickets. He work is amazing, he cleaned up after all the work was done and was a pleasure to have him work in my house - Thanks Max - I would have him back anytime!!

Max renovated the old entrance and basement stairs in our raised bungalow. He also replaced the old banisters. Every detail was looked after. His work was superb. He explained what was being done as he went along. The new stairs and banisters make the entrance to the house look so much better. Max is a true professional.
Thanks Max, John and Nellie
