Complete Stair Renovation Services
From outdated to outstanding. We handle every aspect of your staircase transformation.
About This Service
A full stair renovation addresses every component of your staircase, from the structural integrity of the stringers to the final coat of finish on the treads. Whether your staircase needs a complete overhaul due to age, damage, or simply outdated style, RenewStairs delivers a comprehensive renovation that transforms the look, feel, and function of your home's most visible architectural feature.
Our full renovation service begins with a thorough assessment of your existing staircase structure. We inspect stringers, subfloor connections, and load-bearing components to ensure the foundation is sound before any cosmetic work begins. If structural repairs are needed, we address them first, ensuring your renovated staircase is as solid as it is beautiful.
Tread and riser replacement is the core of most stair renovations. We source premium hardwood from trusted Ontario suppliers, offering species including red oak, white oak, hard maple, and walnut. Each tread is precision-cut to fit your staircase exactly, with proper nosing profiles and tight joints that eliminate gaps and squeaks.
Railing systems are integral to the finished appearance and safety of your staircase. We offer a wide range of options from traditional wood profiles with turned balusters to contemporary metal and glass systems. Our team handles the complete railing installation, including newel posts, handrails, and balusters, ensuring everything meets Ontario Building Code requirements for height and spacing.
The finishing stage is where the transformation becomes visible. We apply professional-grade stains in the colour of your choice, followed by multiple coats of durable polyurethane or natural oil finish. Our finishing process creates a surface that resists daily wear while showcasing the natural beauty of the wood grain.
