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.

Our builder recommended them and the inspector passed it first visit." Carla D. Kleinburg Custom Wood Staircase > "Italian scrollwork on the main stair and upper landing, 30 lin ft of interior iron. Exactly the pattern my wife sketched." Vincenzo R. Woodbridge Metal & Iron Railings > "Modern spigot glass on our stair and landing, 26 lin ft at $205 per foot, done in 2 days." Dana K. Thornhill Glass Railings Local Know-How ## Where Our Shop Started, and What We Build There Now Vaughan is where the shop started, in a rented **Woodbridge** unit in 2003. The city itself was stitched together in 1974 from Woodbridge, **Kleinburg**\-Nashville, Maple and **Thornhill**, and each old village still asks for a different kind of stair. Kleinburg's custom builder network brings grand curved foyers; we built 12 of them in 2024. Woodbridge families often want Italian-style scrollwork forged from a photo or a sketch, and Thornhill leans toward modern spigot and standoff glass. All four old villages are Heritage Conservation Districts, so exterior porch and step railings there can need a heritage review. We draw the design, forge a test scroll and bring it to you before the rest is made. Crews come up **Highway 427** from Etobicoke. ### Vaughan Homes We Build For **Kleinburg (L4H)** means big foyers and curved staircases. In 2024 we built 12 grand foyer stairs for the Kleinburg custom builder network, including a $28,400 curved white oak stair with frameless glass installed in seven working days after the original contractor walked off. **Woodbridge (L4L)** is Italian wrought iron country. Families often bring a sketch or a photo of a railing from back home, and we forge the scrolls, collars and baskets to match, then powder-coat them in matte black or antique bronze. **Thornhill (L4J)** leans modern: spigot glass on stairs and landings, straight-bar iron and white oak treads. **Concord (L4K)** production homes usually need an upgrade rather than a rebuild. Swapping spindles for iron or glass and refinishing the treads changes the whole look in a few days. Areas We Serve ## From Etobicoke to Vaughan Vaughan jobs are a straight run up Highway 427 from the shop. Woodbridge and Concord are 20-25 minutes out; Kleinburg is a little further up Highway 27 or Islington Avenue. Thornhill work comes across Highway 7 or the 407. For new builds with the Kleinburg builder network we work to the builder's schedule: templating right after drywall, install after floors, with shop drawings issued early so the framer can add blocking for floating treads and glass fixings. Permits go through City of Vaughan Building Standards. We supply permit-ready CAD drawings and answer examiner questions, but approval is the City's call. ### Neighbourhoods We Serve - Kleinburg (L4H) - Woodbridge (L4L) - Thornhill (L4J) - Concord (L4K) - Maple Postal codes we cover: L4H, L4J, L4K, L4L ### Landmarks and Routes Near McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Vaughan Mills, Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital, Canada's Wonderland.

Yes. We built 12 grand foyer staircases for the Kleinburg custom builder network in 2024. Curved stairs run $22,000-$45,000 CAD depending on radius, species and railing. ### Can you forge Italian-style scrollwork from an old family photo? Yes. We scale the scrolls from photos or a sketch, forge a test scroll and have you hold it against the reference before making the rest. Exterior scrollwork for Woodbridge porches runs $145-$225 per lin ft. ### Is my Woodbridge or Kleinburg porch inside a heritage district? It may be. Vaughan has four Heritage Conservation Districts, Kleinburg-Nashville, Maple, Thornhill and Woodbridge, and their plans guide exterior changes. We supply drawings for the review; approval rests with the City. ### Do you upgrade Concord production-home stairs? Yes, usually by swapping spindles for iron balusters at $95-$185 per lin ft or glass from $150, then refinishing the treads to match the floor. ### Who issues stair permits in Vaughan? City of Vaughan Building Standards. We supply permit-ready CAD drawings but never promise approval.
