Burlington Multi-Level Stairs That Never Match?
Escarpment-lot multi-levels where every short run has a different railing
What you see: Every short run in the house has a railing from a different decade, and the place never reads as one design.
Why it happens here: Aldershot sits below the Niagara Escarpment, where sloped lots produce multi-level homes with many short stair runs, each added or updated at a different time.
How we fix it: We draw every run in one CAD set and fabricate matching straight-bar metal and iron railings or glass, so one crew installs the lot in about two days.
Walk your stairs with this list. If two or more sound familiar, it's worth a free consultation.

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.

Problem 2
Baluster gaps wider than 100mm

Problem 3
Squeaking, cupped or worn treads
Refinish from $65-$140 per tread, or replace individual treads at $145-$225 each.

How It Works in 5 Steps
Samples at your door, CAD drawings you approve, fabrication in our shop and a clean 1-4 day install.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Want Every Run to Match?
Every job is drawn in CAD to OBC 9.8 before we cut anything and backed by a written workmanship warranty. WSIB registered with $2M liability coverage, and the quote is itemised line by line.

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.
Getting to Burlington
Burlington is the western edge of our regular area, about 40 minutes down the QEW or Highway 403. Aldershot jobs come off Plains Road; Millcroft and Alton Village are north near Appleby Line. We schedule Burlington installs as full days so the drive never cuts into site time.
Because stairs and railings are pre-assembled in Etobicoke, even a five-run multi-level railing job usually finishes in two days.
Permits go through City of Burlington Building Services. We supply permit-ready CAD drawings.

Burlington Stair and Railing Questions
Can you match railings across every short run in an Aldershot home?
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.
