Customer Reviews

Lyn Eldridge

Everything about this project was top notch. I'll be honest, I was thrown off a bit by the price - but after seeing the attention to detail and professionalism of the team, not to mention getting EXACTLY what I asked for, I am thrilled. I 100% got what I paid for and could not be happier. It was a small job but they understood how this one little thing could bring the whole space together. Lee, Jacob and the whole team are fantastic!

Laura Naylor

We hired Lister Concrete Products & Railing Fabrication to create custom staircase railings inside our home and railings for our porch based on a picture I found on Pinterest. They turned out absolutely incredible — even better than I imagined. While our porch was being installed, I asked Lee if it might be possible for them to make a custom wine cellar door. He mentioned it wasn’t something they had done before, but he was willing to take on the challenge. I showed him a photo I found online, and once again they completely exceeded my expectations. The wine cellar door is stunning. All three projects turned out beautifully, and the craftsmanship is outstanding. What impressed me just as much was how they treated our home. Their team was respectful, careful to protect everything, and always cleaned up after themselves. They truly treat you like family and take pride in their work. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Lister Concrete Products & Railing Fabrication for any custom project.

Lister Concrete put in a new set of steps for me yesterday. The business communication was great, and they even showed up earlier than expected. My old steps were crumbling and tilted pretty badly. Their worker removed the old steps and debris and put in our new steps, all by himself. I was very impressed. He got them very close to the house and was able to level them, even though the foundation wasn’t ideal. They look amazing and the worker did excellent. I highly recommend using them if you need your steps replaced!
