Unique Stairways

Unique Stairways is a family-owned finish carpentry business that Damien Rush founded in 2010 after training as a carpenter in Donegal, Ireland and relocating to Boston in 2002; the company's own materials describe 16 years in business, while Better Business Bureau and directory listings put its track record at 18 years, running as a family-led operation on the South Shore. The company builds custom staircases, built-ins, kitchen cabinetry, crown molding and fine millwork, and it has drawn a string of detailed five-star reviews across Angi and HomeAdvisor: a 2020 review praised a custom banquette as a perfect built-in with amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail, a 2019 review called two custom fireplace mantels excellent work from a professional and responsive team, and reviews from 2017 through 2019 describe built-in bookcases, shelving and cabinetry delivered promptly and on estimate. A January 2023 review described a new basement stairway replacing a 140-year-old set of stairs, calling the crew neat, quick and efficient. Not every account is positive: a December 2022 Angi review calls the work sloppy, late and inconsiderate of the property, without further detail. The business holds a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License (CS-117452) that the state registry verifies as active, held by Kerrianne Doneghey; its separate Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC 185761, held by Damien Rush) is registry-verified as expired, even though a BuildZoom directory listing shows it active through September 2026. Homeowners should confirm current HIC status directly with the state before booking a project.
