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 ## Planning a Custom Build?

Worth every dollar." Arash N. Bayview Hill Custom Wood Staircase > "Restored our 1920s stair, new treads matched to the old oak and the handrail stripped by hand. $3,800 CAD." Linda C. Mill Pond Staircase Refinishing > "Our builder used them for the glass on our stair and walkout deck, 52 lin ft total. Clean install, no punch list." Derek J. Jefferson Glass Railings Local Know-How ## Restoration and Feature-Stair Know-How Richmond Hill mixes big **Bayview Hill** and **Oak Ridges** homes that want feature stairs with older houses around **Mill Pond** that need careful restoration. The heritage enclave near Yonge Street, the bungalows and split-levels around the pond and the Georgian-Revival Heritage Estates each call for a different approach. Oak Ridges sits entirely on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and its hilly lots bring exterior stairs and decks down to the yard. We build those in aluminum or iron, with guards at 900mm or 1,070mm depending on how far above grade they sit. **Jefferson** custom builders bring us in at the drawing stage, so the stair, the railing and the framing are coordinated in one CAD set. Crews run up **Highway 404** and Yonge Street. ### Richmond Hill Homes We Know **Bayview Hill (L4C)** luxury homes, often 2,500-6,000 sq ft, want double-height curved staircases in white oak with forged iron or glass. **Oak Ridges (L4E)** executive homes on the Moraine suit iron railings inside and marine-grade details on decks facing the weather. **Mill Pond (L4C)** historic houses deserve restoration: new treads matched to old oak, handrails stripped by hand and original newels kept. **Jefferson (L4E)** is custom builder territory where we coordinate CAD drawings with the builder early. Areas We Serve ## Getting to Richmond Hill Richmond Hill is north up Highway 427 and across the 407, then up Highway 404, Bayview Avenue or Yonge Street depending on the neighbourhood. Oak Ridges jobs on the Moraine are the furthest north we regularly go, and we plan those days around the drive. Jefferson custom builders often bring us in at the drawing stage, which means we can get blocking for floating treads and glass fixings into the framing before drywall. Permits go through Richmond Hill Building Services. We supply permit-ready CAD drawings but never promise approval. ### Neighbourhoods We Serve - Bayview Hill (L4C) - Oak Ridges (L4E) - Mill Pond (L4C) - Jefferson (L4E) - Lake Wilcox (L4E) Postal codes we cover: L4C, L4E ### Landmarks and Routes Near Mill Pond Park, Hillcrest Mall, Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, Lake Wilcox Park, David Dunlap Observatory. Crews run the 407 across from Highway 427, then up Yonge Street or Highway 404 depending on the neighbourhood. Transit: Richmond Hill GO, Langstaff GO, Gormley GO. ![Two installers carrying a pre-assembled oak stair section from the work van into a GTA home](/images/features/two-installers-in-safety-glasses-carrying-a-pre-as.webp) Stairs arrive pre-assembled from our Etobicoke shop.

Yes, curved and floating stairs from $18,500 to $45,000 CAD, usually in white oak with forged iron or frameless glass. ### Can you save the original stair in a heritage home near Mill Pond? Usually. The houses closest to Yonge Street are mostly heritage homes with solid wood stairs. We hand-strip the handrail, refinish at $110-$140 per tread and mill new treads to match. ### Do moraine lots in Oak Ridges change the railing spec? Often. Oak Ridges sits on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and its hilly lots bring exterior stairs and decks that need guards at 900mm or 1,070mm depending on height. We build them in aluminum from $75 or iron from $145 per lin ft. ### Do you work with Jefferson custom builders? Yes. We coordinate CAD drawings with builders early, so framing, stair and railing are drawn together. ### Who handles stair permits in Richmond Hill? Richmond Hill Building Services issues building permits. On Oak Ridges lots, also check whether moraine rules apply to a new exterior stair or deck; our drawings show exactly what changes.
