Hardwood stairs · Toronto & GTA

The stair is the product. The floor is the field it sits in.

Carpet-to-oak conversions, walnut feature flights, box stairs, open risers, and railings that pass inspection. Most GTA flooring companies subcontract this. We mill it.

Build the flight. Read the code. Get a range.

No GTA flooring brochure does this. Change species, step count, and railing. Then see whether the geometry would typically pass a dwelling-stair inspection.

2026 GTA range · HST extra

$10,946$15,528

Mid $12,728 · 13 treads · ~17 lin ft of rail · 3–5 days

A range, not a contract. Open risers, curves, and failed stringers move it. We lock a number after we measure rise, run, and moisture.

Ontario Building Code

Will this flight pass?

Typical dwelling stairs, Part 9. The inspector still has the last word. We will not build a fail.

Jobs we keep getting called for

Builder carpet, Vaughan to Milton

Pull the carpet. Sister the flex. Solid oak box treads with returned ends on the open side. Rail that a toddler can actually hold.

Walnut feature, Oakville and Forest Hill

The foyer is the house. Contrast walnut against a white-oak field, iron balusters, hardwax oil on the rail so it can be repaired without resanding three storeys.

Failed inspection

A 2x6 cap, a short guard, a nosing that trips. We redraw to Part 9, then we build. Pretty that fails is not a stair.
