Marty Anderson & Associates

We called Marty Anderson & Associates because the stairs in our circa 1880s home had finally reached the end of their natural life. It was the final part of our renovation that we'd kind of been putting off because of the difficulty of finding a reliable carpenter specializing in stairs, and the sheer scope of the work: all the treads were cracked and creaky, and the handrail was dangerously loose and wobbly, so all three flights of treads and risers needed to be replaced. His carpentry team always arrived every morning on time, were pleasant, respectful of my space and cleaned up at the end of every day. When a few issues arose that awkward spaces - or years of DIY "repairs" created - Marty and team preempted them and suggested smart solutions. The cost was fair and well worth it. The results speak for themselves; the difference that stairs that don't creak and a firm hand rail makes is incredible. We would recommend Marty unreservedly.

We contacted Marty Anderson & Associates to rebuild our stairs in our 100+ year old house. The stairs were very squeaky and in an unsafe condition. Marty is a true professional. He was always on time and clear in explaining the work to be done. His crew, Henry and Danial, did a wonderful job in demo and rebuilding our stairs, always with care for surrounding area and clean up at the end of the day. We are so very pleased with the new stairs and can highly recommend Marty Anderson.

Well let me say that no job is too big or to small for Marty Anderson & Associates. Isn't this refreshing to hear? I had almost given up hope on getting my window seats fixed when I contacted M.A.&A! I couldn't believe he came to see my job! He said he would do the job and he finished my job and it's beautiful! His craftsmen Mr. H. and Mr. K. were professional and their expertise shined on my beautiful, safe window seats. One last thing... really tidy and on time. Thank you

I can't convey how appreciative we are to the whole Anderson Team. Our stairs are better than they were when the house was built in 1906! It’s truly transformational. No squeaking. It's still hard to believe how different our house looks and feels. They are absolute craftsmen. Highest quality materials, skillful, courteous, incredibly professional, and very tidy. I was daunted by having our main staircase out of commission for a week. But they took out a third each day and each evening the stairs could be used - it just got incrementally better. Done and dusted in three days. If you have creaky stairs, give yourself the gift of silence. It's worth every cent! We'll post pictures when the stairs are finally stained and finished.

Excellent craftsmanship! Excellent customer services! The carpenters worked in the house while my wife and I were at work. They fully respected our home and left the repair and the staging area very clean after each work day. Very Happy we hired Marty Anderson and Associates! The stairs look and feel Great!

We are in the middle of a whole house gut renovation, and our general contractor did not have a plan for how we would replace in kind an unsafe and deteriorating 100+-year-old staircase from our 1st floor to our basement. Marty to the rescue! We saw Marty's vans in Hoboken and have often driven by his workshop, so we reached out. He and his team have been nothing but kind and professional. He has a well-rounded team of carpenters who take pride in their work. This is truly a curated small local business. I never felt like they were trying to "hustle" us. These are true craftsmen. I feel like Marty cares more about my house than I do.

Marty and his team are fantastic stair repair experts. They replaced a set of basement stairs that was basically collapsing and put in a brand new stair case. We were so impressed we returned to have Mary replace the creaky and uneven treads on the two main staircases in our brownstone. They quickly and expertly installed the new treads, evening out the slope of the stairs and eliminating the annoying creaks.

We used Marty & team to replace 2 broken stair treads in our 1880's townhome that has an original wooden staircase and we could not be happier with the whole process. Marty was friendly, responsive, and fair on price. Despite having a busy calendar he was able to squeeze us in between larger jobs which we really appreciated, especially these days when is it nearly impossible to get a contractor to even quote a smaller job, let alone take one on. A few days after taking measurements his team was able to get in, demo, install, and clean up all in less than 1 full day. And best of all the new treads look great, match the existing stairs very well (we still need to paint them), and are totally silent (as opposed to the old super squeaky treads). We would definitely recommend Marty to anyone in need of stair repairs, especially those with older houses, and look forward to working with him again when we pursue the much larger project on our to-do list!

I can't recommend Marty Anderson enough, he is THE person to talk to if you have any issues with your staircases. Not only is he a great guy who is easy to work with, but he has a crazy amount of knowledge when it comes to staircases. When Marty finishes your stairs, they are as solid as a rock and you can go to sleep without worrying about falling through your staircase (which, here in Hoboken is actually a more legitimate concern than you may think). He is also quick once he gets started, and doesn't ever stretch a job or make you spend money unnecessarily. Most recently we had him replace a few treads on a staircase that we would literally walk up or down one person at a time for fear of bringing the whole thing down, and by replacing only 6 or 7 treads the entire staircase became as solid as any brand new staircase I've ever walked on. Marty is a craftsman who I'm always proud to refer to friends.

I cannot rave enough about Marty Anderson and Associates! They did an incredible job on redoing our kitchen pantry and bedroom closet. Marty responded to my initial inquiry the same day I reached out and came up with a smart, reasonable plan to transform both spaces. The job was completed within a few weeks and the crew was professional, hardworking, and left our place spotless! Marty's work is thorough and creative and gave me every confidence that we'll be set for years to come!

We engaged Marty Anderson to evaluate and repair stairs of a 140 year old building. He was honest and identified only the stairs that needed immediate repair. Although his quote was higher than contractors who were just proposing a band-aid solution, the work he did was impeccable and thorough. The stairs were rebuilt from underneath and feel solid, not to mention visually appealing. The workers finished quickly and left the site spotlessly clean. Highly recommend if you are planning any stair restoration work.

The two flights of original stairs in our 1880s brownstone required serious attention. I had been planning (more like avoiding) this for years and Marty Anderson came highly recommended for his quality work, his sensitivity to older buildings such as ours and his love for detail. I finally reached out and am glad I did. His crew did impressive work leveling and replacing every tread and riser, and dealing with everything else they uncovered along the way. The result is amazing. Rock solid. Other things I appreciated: in our first meetings, Marty was thorough in walking us through the steps involved and was patient with my many questions. His years of experience helped with all the decision-making. It was a big project and once he got going, it required mutual coordination with the family to give the crew the time and space they needed each day. But they were excellent with planning and communication throughout. (Bonus: the daily cleaning up and making sure the staircase — though not finished — was still usable when they were for done for the day.) Marty and crew obviously know stairs and take a lot of pride in their work; our finished staircase is certainly evidence of that. In the unlikely event these stairs will need repairing 130 years from now, I will definitely call Marty again.
