Staircase Renovation Toronto
Carpet-to-hardwood conversions, custom treads & railings, and expert refinishing across Toronto and the GTA
Two Ways to Transform Your Staircase
Whether your stairs just need a refresh or a full rebuild, we help you choose the right approach for your home and budget.
Refinish & Restyle
If your stairs are structurally sound, we sand, re-stain, and refinish the existing treads and railings — often with a custom-matched colour — for a fresh look without a full rebuild.
- Sanding and re-staining of existing treads
- Custom Benjamin Moore stain matching
- Refinished or repainted risers and stringers
- Handrail and spindle refinishing
- Faster and more budget-friendly
Rebuild & Carpet-to-Hardwood
For carpeted, worn, or dated staircases, we build new — removing the carpet and installing custom solid oak treads and risers, matched to your floor, with new railings and spindles.
- Carpet removal and full rebuild
- Custom-made solid oak treads and risers
- Colour-matched to your new or existing floor
- Wood or wrought-iron spindles and railings
- Custom newel posts and stair nosing

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I refinish my existing stairs or replace them?
If your stairs are structurally sound and you like the layout, refinishing — sanding and re-staining the existing treads — is the faster, more cost-effective route. If the stairs are carpeted, worn, squeaky, or you want a new style, rebuilding with new treads, risers, and railings gives a better long-term result. We assess your staircase on-site and recommend the right approach.
Can you convert carpeted stairs to hardwood?
Yes — this is one of our most common projects. We remove the old carpet, install new solid oak (or a species matched to your floor) treads and risers, and finish them to match. The result is a brighter, easier-to-clean, and safer staircase that ties into the rest of your home.
Do you match the stairs to my floor?
Yes. We colour-match treads, risers, and nosing to your hardwood, and when an exact match is needed we use a custom Benjamin Moore stain so the stairs and floor read as one continuous surface.
Do you install railings, spindles, and newel posts?
Yes. We install and refinish wood or wrought-iron spindles, new or re-stained handrails, and custom newel posts — often as a two-tone look with white risers and stained treads for a bright, modern finish.
How long does a staircase renovation take?
A refinish is usually a couple of days; a full carpet-to-hardwood conversion or a rebuild with new railings and spindles typically takes several days, depending on the number of steps, curved or winder sections, and finishing work. We confirm a clear timeline before we start.
How much does staircase renovation cost in Toronto?
As a guide, refinishing and re-staining existing stairs runs about $90–$150 per step, carpet-to-hardwood conversions with new oak treads and risers about $120–$200 per step, and a full staircase renovation with new treads, risers, railings, spindles, and custom stain typically $3,500–$9,000+ per staircase. Pricing varies with the number of steps, materials, railing and spindle work, curved or winder stairs, and existing condition — contact us for an accurate quote, call or WhatsApp +1 (437) 988-0524.
