Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Legacy Finish Carpentry. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

Ed recently completed a substantial staircase project for us—installing a new railing along the full length of stairs, repairing existing steps, replacing stairs from the hatchway in the backyard to the basement, and reinforcing a wobbly railing. He did excellent work on all fronts. What stood out most was his approach to the project. Ed communicated openly throughout, keeping us informed of progress and any decisions that needed to be made. He offered practical solutions for the complex aspects of the job and was genuinely collaborative in problem-solving. The finished railings and stairs are solid, well-built, and exactly what we needed. If you’re looking for a craftsman who delivers quality work, and communicates well, Ed is your person. We’ll definitely call him again for future projects.
Was fast to get back to us with a quote & came out right away. Job was done in a couple of hours and looks good. Will be calling again.
It was a pleasure to have Eddie in our home. I had an idea and he improved on that idea to give us a finished product beyond what I hoped for! Very happy with the new doors!
Within mins of requesting a quote. Ed called back to discuss the project. He was out within a few days to look at what needed to be done. He discussed the good and bad of the previous Pros job. Explained what needed to be done and how long it would take to redo this project. It took him approximately 4 days to complete this project. The cost was well below the origninal cost to do this job. The workmanship is so much better. the materials are an upgrade from Pine to Poplar, Red Oak and pressure treated pine. Every step f this project was discussed and explained. The treads are not only secured to the stringers but also married to the risers. The stringers are secured to the landing and to the cement floor. The steps are level and correctly oriented. We are going to paint and seal the steps, risers, stringers and beadboard ourselves at a future date, so these pics reflect the that. I would definately hire this Pro again and refer him to my friends and family!! Great Job!!
My mother contracted him to rebuild the basement stairs under the hatchway. She was impressed with the quality of his work and liked his personality.
