Common Problems

## Stair Problems in Mississauga Homes, Old and New

### Open-riser glass stairs in Lorne Park estate homes that still pass the 100mm rule

**What you see:** You want a floating, open-riser stair with frameless glass in a two-storey foyer, but the builder's kit either looks cheap or leaves gaps an inspector will flag.

**Why it happens here:** Lorne Park grew from an 1879 resort into large estate lots with big custom homes, and OBC 9.8 still limits riser and guard openings to 100mm however grand the foyer is.

**How we fix it:** We draw the stair in CAD with riser bars or thicker treads, then fit 15mm frameless glass railings templated on the finished treads.

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.

Our 5-Step Process

## 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.

1.  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.

Local Know-How

## Stair Know-How From Lorne Park to Streetsville

Mississauga work splits into three kinds of house. **Lorne Park** began as a lakeside resort in 1879 and today holds large estate lots with custom homes that want open-riser stairs and frameless glass. **Erin Mills** and **Streetsville** two-storeys usually need their builder oak spindles swapped for iron or glass.

**Port Credit** is different again. The Old Port Credit Village Heritage Conservation District runs from Lakeshore Road West down to the lake between Mississauga Road and the Credit River, and its homes usually get their original stairs refinished rather than replaced. We match replacement treads to the old oak and keep the newels.

Our crew runs west along the **QEW** from Etobicoke, so most jobs start early and finish in 1-4 days on site. Permit-ready CAD drawings go to the City's Building Division whenever a new stair or guard needs a permit.

### Lakeshore, Erin Mills and Streetsville Homes We Know

**Lorne Park (L5H)** has large custom homes, many around 4,000 sq ft, where owners want open-riser stairs and frameless glass across two-storey foyers. We build mono-stringer and floating stairs with hidden steel and 15mm glass.

**Erin Mills (L5M)** is full of 1990s builder stairs with oak spindles and carpet. The most common job here is swapping spindles for straight-bar iron or glass and refinishing the treads and handrail to match newer floors.

**Port Credit (L5G)** has heritage stairs that usually deserve a refinish, not a rebuild. Dustless sanding and species-matched replacement treads keep the character.

**Streetsville (L5M)** mid-tier homes split the difference: iron railings, recapped treads and the occasional new L-shape stair during a basement finish.

Areas We Serve

## Getting to Jobs West of Etobicoke Creek

The city is next door to the shop. Our crews head west on the QEW for Lorne Park and Port Credit, take Highway 403 or Mississauga Road for Erin Mills, and run up to Streetsville in about half an hour outside rush hour. That short trip means install days start early and a second templating visit is never a problem.

Permits go through the City Building Division. The owner or contractor applies, and we supply permit-ready CAD drawings that show rise, run, headroom, guard height and baluster spacing, with fastening details for glass and iron. We never promise approval, but clear drawings keep examiner questions to a minimum.

For Port Credit heritage homes we check whether the property is designated before touching exterior railings.

FAQ

## Mississauga Stair and Railing Questions Answered

### Can you build an open-riser stair in Lorne Park that passes inspection?

Yes. We add riser bars or thicken the treads so no opening passes a 100mm sphere, then fit frameless glass from $225-$350 per lin ft. The CAD drawings show every opening for the inspector.

### What does it cost to update a builder stair in Erin Mills?

Swapping oak spindles for iron balusters runs $95-$185 per lin ft, and framed glass starts at $150. Most Erin Mills and Streetsville two-storeys also get the handrail and treads refinished to match.

### Do homes in the Old Port Credit Village heritage district need special care?

Yes. The district plan guides changes to its homes, so we favour refinishing and species-matched replacement treads over tear-outs, and supply drawings when an exterior railing is part of the job.

### Who issues stair permits in Mississauga?

The City of Mississauga's Building Division. The owner or contractor applies, and we supply permit-ready CAD drawings; we never promise approval.

### How early can your crew start in Streetsville?

Early. It's a short run up Highway 403 from our Etobicoke shop, and stairs arrive pre-assembled, so most Streetsville installs finish in 1-4 days.
