Staircase Renovation in Markham
Two Markham staircases with white risers, light treads and black iron spindles: a long straight flight and a stair that turns at its landings.
Quick answer
The same materials can look quite different depending on the shape of the staircase. Here are two from Markham, and what a job like either one involves. You can see stair parts and floors at our Markham showroom, and for everything else we do on stairs, see our staircase renovation guide.
A long straight flight
Light, soft-toned treads over bright white risers, with black iron spindles and a matching square newel post and handrail. On a long flight like this, the white risers stop the staircase from looking heavy.
A staircase that turns at the landings
Here the stair changes direction at its landings, so the railing does too. Square newel posts sit at every turn, with black iron spindles running between them on each run.
What a staircase like this costs
Every price is fixed in writing after a free measure, with no hourly billing.
Planning yours
Start with the floor the stairs meet, and match the treads to it in species, stain and sheen. Our stair stain colours guide shows the common choices, and our spindle guide covers iron, wood and glass.
If the stairs are carpeted now, new hardwood treads and risers go over the existing structure, as the carpet to hardwood stairs guide explains. See flooring installation in Markham for the floors that go with them.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a staircase renovation cost in Markham?
About $7,000 for a straight flight with new hardwood treads and risers, newel posts, spindles, a handrail and stain. A curved flight runs closer to $10,000. The price is fixed in writing after a free measure.
How long does it take to redo a staircase?
Most straight flights take three to four days on site, and a curved flight about a week. You can still use the stairs every night while we work.
Can you match the stairs to my floor?
Yes. The treads are matched to your floor in species, stain and sheen, so the staircase and the floor read as one.
Is there a showroom in Markham?
Yes. Our Markham showroom takes walk-ins, so you can compare floors and stair parts before the free measure.
