Roughly half the people who write about Daniel Cirilo hired him for stairs: front steps, basement stairs, an entrance staircase, a bulkhead, and the railings that go with them. A homeowner writing in November 2024 had a staircase where every tread was an odd size and shape and no two matched; Daniel advised which materials to get and explained how the treads would have to be glued. In September 2025, another customer's worn front porch stairs were pulled out entirely and rebuilt in composite.
The work is run out of Belmont, and Thumbtack has given the business Top Pro standing for 2024 and 2025, with 290 hires on the profile and a background check listed for Daniel Cirilo, completed 10/3/2023.
The recent jobs follow the same line. A Thumbtack customer in June 2026 had new handrails installed and called the result sturdy and clean; another that month had a custom enclosure built for pool equipment and a heater, plus new basement bulkhead stairs. April 2026 brought concrete entrance stairs remodeled in composite and a set of dated brick stairs rebuilt on schedule, and a May 2026 job rebuilt a front deck the customer described as having significant structural issues.
Indoors, the jobs are things built to fit: two 10-foot bookcases in a day and a half in July 2025, custom closets, stools and consoles in October 2025, cabinets and a bookcase built around a fireplace in August 2025, and a shelf squeezed into what one customer called a weird area of their condo in November 2025. Two reviews, from February and March 2026, are about plowing the driveway.
Several customers volunteer that the price was fair — a January 2026 homeowner whose basement stairs were demolished and rebuilt called him honest and the price fair, and an October 2025 job was scheduled soon after the estimate visit and finished quickly. The business's own Thumbtack blurb, though, sets out a 30-day waiting list and a $400 charge for a visit with tools, which matters if you were hoping for a quick small repair.
Two numbers sit alongside the 4.9 on Google. Thumbtack's 4.7 spans 181 ratings, 6% of them one star; and on Google, a November 2025 customer who had a platform deck built, an Amazon pergola assembled, a closet door installed and acoustic panels put up rated the work 2 stars.
For stairs, railings, decks and built-in cabinetry around Belmont, this is a straightforward call. Ask where your job lands on the waiting list, and pin down how the $400 tool-visit charge applies to what you need before you book.
