Kleinsmith Stair & Trim
Unlike some stair companies, Kleinsmith Stair & Trim doesn't cut corners. Your stair joints are glued or bolted, and fully fastened to ensure that they're safe and sturdy. Don't just take our word for it, Colby of San Diego states "They were tidy while they worked and cleaned neatly at the end of each day, " adding "each of his workers was very aware of my two young children, childproofing the open stairs."

Our fully-insured status will also give you peace of mind. Home owners that hire uninsured workers risk serious money if an injury or property damage takes place. Some insurance companies also deny claims once they discover that uninsured workers were involved. When you hire Kleinsmith, we make the entire process as stress-free as possible. We'd like to hear from you. To get your free estimate of our stair design and construction services, call 619-562-3839 now!

We were so excited to have our staircase stained and wrought iron bars added.
The guys came to stain our stairs and acted irritated that they were sent out to stain. The head guy said they no longer stain stair rails and wasn't sure why they quoted me. After he was done it looked good. Several spots needed touch-ups but they left a little can for us to do it.
The next guy came to add the wrought iron bars and he was great. He was super nice, did great work, and was fast.
After a year and a half, our stair rails looked terrible. The stain wore off (which shouldn't have happened had they

We have lived in our home since 95 and subsequently have done many projects, both massive undertakings and smaller jobs. Of all the contractors we have worked with over the years, this stair project was by far the easiest most hassle free project we ever did.
The team was on time, courteous, very clean, professional and their craftsmanship amazing.
We wanted to do this project for many years and it's transformational impact on our home is more impactful than we had even imagined.
We loved working with these people.
Under promise over deliver is a great way to operate.

Take a look at all the one star reviews! This is the real treatment you get. Had Dave out one time to give us a quote, and he sent us pictures that were completely different than what we asked for. He reluctantly came out a second time, gave us a quote, and when we asked one (yes, one clarifying question, he decided he didn't have time for us. To much work in San Diego for him to be bothered to do our project. Good luck with such great business practices, I'm sure you'll survive the next down turn no problem.

I reached out to the owner, but never heard from him. I am sure they do great work, but I'll never know.

If I could give them 10 stars I would! We got to see their work first hand at a neighbor's house. And their price was more than fair. They gave me the exact look I wanted and it's gorgeous. In less than a week, they were in and out, leaving my home cleaned up every day. I highly recommend them.

Exceeded expectations!!! Dave and his team did an amazing job on our semi-custom project. They show up on time, protect your house, leave a very tidy work space and do an amazing job with their craftsmanship. We will let the photos speak for themselves. Kleinsmith is worth every dime.

When we first saw the quote to redo our stair handrails and landing rail we thought it was rather pricey. Nevertheless, we knew it would transform our home and bit the bullet. Once we saw the amount of work involved, and the superb quality of the materials, we ended up realizing that Dave Kleinsmith and his superb team of craftsmen give amazing value for money. The job took about four days in total from start to finish, and the guys cleaned up after themselves each day to keep our house spotless. They were extremely helpful in matching a stain to our flooring, and the finished job is nothing

We are in love with our stairs!! Dave is a wonderful owner. He's very attentive, and his team is amazing. Eli is a true stair craftsman. He made great suggestions and adjustments in our best interest. They are very competitively priced. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for stair transformations.

Note that this is not a review about the quality of the workmanship, which I have not seen, but about the absurd prices that they try to push on unspecting customers.

Quoted an estimate 21k for a job with 21 posts!

This is the type of contractor who sends you absurd prices, which I believe they use because occasionally it works to extort value to people who have no idea as to what materials costs. Actual materials should be 5-10k (depending on quality) so this company is charging 10-15k for a job that takes a trained team a few days work. People should be aware of this type of prices before

Highly recommend Kleinsmith. We liked that they don't contract out any of the work, and judging from the old reviews I read on this site, their people have worked for them for many years. Ray came to the house to help design the stairs, and he couldn't have been nicer. Worked with us over several weeks to make changes and finalize the details, sent us new drawings after every change. Since this was part of a major remodel, he also worked with our general contractor for the design and the timing of the work. John built the stairs, he was a real professional, doing beautiful work, Levi

Words you thought you would never hear a contractor use....
“You know, looking at this project, it is not as big as I thought it would be. Let me write you a new quote (that was $1500 less than the original over the phone quote)”.
Total professionals. They showed up on time, finished on time, and cleaned up everything. The staircase looks awesome, and is my favorite part of my whole house remodel. I would whole heartedly recommend Dan, and his whole company to anyone looking for quality stairs.

Excellent job done! They are Cadillac class stair company. My wife and I really enjoy our beautiful nd elegant stair everyday. It's the best part of my entire house remodeling. We made some scratches on the stair after six months of use. I called owner Steve and he sent someone to wipe out the scratches for us for free.

We are very happy with our staircase that was re-done by the Kleinsmith Co. guys. The job began and was finished on time. And the craftsmanship can be seen. The stain turned out exactly as we wanted. We were very picky about the design and the finish and we couldn't be happier with the result. I'm confident that if a customer knows exactly what he wants, these guys can definitely deliver.

Dave and all of his crew including Levi, Dave, and Edry and company were a pleasure to work with. Timely and professional, experts in what they do. They really focus on attention to detail and delivering exactly what I envisioned for our staircase remodel. The finished product was nothing short of amazing.

Dave shows up for a estimate, he emails me it. Then he never followed up or contacted me back. I guess they never wanted our business.

Sexism is alive and well in the construction business. You need look no further than Robert Fielding, Project Manager, who does the company bidding and much of the scheduling at Kleinsmith Stairs and Trim. I wholeheartedly admitted to knowing little to nothing about rebuilding a staircase. Robert showed himself to be condescending and arrogant. Most words out of his mouth were misleading and directed at gaining business for the company and not helping the customer gain insight or knowledge on the work to be performed.

The only reason I went forward with the project was I had heard great things

Not a happy customer. When I initially contacted this company they send me the Internet website that they use to design your stairs. I did this and I submitted my design and the pictures of my stairs to Robert. I never received anything back. I called the company a couple of days later and asked to speak to Robert to come and get the estimate for my design and I was never contacted back again. I do not think they have good customer service. I Will be going with a different company for my stairs.
