Walk your stairs with this list. If two or more sound familiar, it's worth a free consultation. 1. Problem 1 ### Wobbly handrails and loose spindles Guards that move under palm pressure have cracked joints, and old kit posts rarely meet OBC deflection criteria. 2. Problem 2 ### Baluster gaps wider than 100mm Many older GTA stairs have 120-150mm gaps. New interior wrought iron fixes it from $95-$185 per lin ft. 3. Problem 3 ### Squeaking, cupped or worn treads Refinish from $65-$140 per tread, or replace individual treads at $145-$225 each. 4. Problem 4 ### Rust and flaking paint on outdoor rails Powder-coated aluminum runs $75-$155 per lin ft; 316 stainless $175-$285 near the lake.

Step 1 ### In-Home Consultation With Material Samples Our lead tech visits your Toronto or GTA property with glass swatches (12mm vs 15mm), wood grain boards and iron patina samples, then laser-measures rise, run and stringer angles. 2. Step 2 ### Permit-Ready CAD Drawings and OBC Compliance We draw every project to OBC Section 9.8 (residential) or Section 3.4 (commercial): 900-965mm handrail height, 100mm max baluster spacing, 42-inch guard on drops over 600mm. You approve every reveal before metal is cut. We never promise permit approval. 3. Step 3 ### Written, Itemised Scope Design fee, CAD drawings, materials, fabrication and install are itemised separately in writing. Some Toronto shops over-charge for tread milling thinking clients won't check other quotes. We publish our CAD bands so you can. 4. Step 4 ### In-Shop Fabrication in Etobicoke Under founder Michael Bennett's supervision our crew mills rough-sawn hardwood, TIG and MIG welds every metal joint and dry-fits full spans on shop jigs at our 6,000 sq ft Etobicoke facility. 5. Step 5 ### On-Site Install and Walkthrough Clean assembly on site, usually 1 to 4 days, with a vacuumed stair run and a maintenance walkthrough. Trust us, you're in good hands. ![Stair fabrication crew reviewing CAD drawings in the Etobicoke shop](/images/misc/stair-fabrication-crew-in-safety-glasses-reviewing-.webp) No-Obligation, Written Quote ## Want Every Run to Match?

Millcroft Staircase Refinishing Local Know-How ## Escarpment Lots, Golf-Course Homes and New Builds Burlington homes run from escarpment-edge multi-levels to brand-new builds. **Aldershot** lots near the Niagara Escarpment bring multi-level houses with many short runs, and we match the railing across every one so the house reads as one design. **Millcroft** was built out from 1986 to the mid-2000s around its golf course, and those stairs are ready for dustless refinishing and new railings. **Roseland** bungalows from the 1950s to 70s want open treads and glass. **Alton Village**, started in 2006, orders custom stairs in larger homes. Where a property sits in the Niagara Escarpment Plan Area, a Niagara Escarpment Commission permit can apply on top of the building permit. Crews use the **QEW** and 403. ### Burlington Homes We Know **Aldershot (L7T)** escarpment lots mean multi-level homes with lots of short runs. We match railings across every run so the house reads as one design. **Roseland (L7N)** 1950s-70s bungalows want modern updates: open oak treads, glass guards or a full replacement. **Millcroft (L7M)** 1990s two-storey homes usually need new railings and dustless refinishing to match new floors. **Alton Village (L7M)** post-2005 luxury homes order custom staircases.

Yes. We draw all the runs in one CAD set and fabricate matching straight-bar iron or glass, so one crew installs the lot in about two days. ### Do Niagara Escarpment rules affect my project in Burlington? They can. Parts of Burlington fall in the Niagara Escarpment Area of Development Control, where some work needs a Niagara Escarpment Commission development permit as well as a building permit. The NEC's online map shows whether your lot is included. ### Do you refinish Millcroft stairs from the late 1980s and 90s? Yes, from $65 per tread for sand and restain, or $85-$125 dustless with water-based poly. Stain is matched to your floors on sample boards first. ### Do you modernize Roseland bungalow stairs? Yes, with glass or iron guards, new open treads or a full stair and railing replacement. ### Do you build custom stairs in Alton Village? Yes, from $8,500 CAD for straight runs to $45,000 for curved stairs in larger Alton Village homes.
