Hardwood flooring, including stairs, sales and installation

Mesh, Rajan and team did a great job, from proposal and follow up questions through carpet removal and very professional installation of stairs and hardwood flooring. The team worked hard to hit a pre-holiday season deadline and even cleaned up nicely. The guys also provided great value-added support with moving some of the larger pieces of furniture. We recommend you consider Ideal for your stair and flooring project. Well done guys!

STAIRCASE RENOVATION

"IDEAL STAIRS" INSTALLED HARDWOOD IN OUR MASTER BEDROOM, IN THE UPPER HALL LANDING AND RENOVATED OUR ENTIRE STAIRCASE. FROM THE BEGINNING THROUGH TO THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT, THE QUALITY OF WORK DONE EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. THE WORKERS WERE HIGHLY SKILLED, POLITE AND DILIGENTLY CLEANED UP AT THE END OF EACH DAY. MESH CALLED DAILY TO SEE HOW THINGS WERE GOING AND TO RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS WE MAY HAVE HAD. THE RENOVATIONS ADDED TO THE BEAUTY AND VALUE OF OUR HOME. MY THANKS TO MESH AND TO THE WORKERS FOR A JOB WELL DONE! I WOULD RECOMMEND "IDEAL STAIRS" WITHOUT RESERVATION.

Gorgeous new railing!

Amazing job! I can't believe how beautiful my home looks as a result of the new railings installed. My small house has been transformed into a modern updated space with such a gorgeous accent! The railings are visible to the whole main floor and have made a huge difference! What a pleasure it has been to deal with Mesh and the team! Thank you for keeping my home clean as well during the process! Such a treat!

Carpeted Staircase Recapped Stained/Painted

I had a carpeted staircase, with oak spindles, banisters and nosing.
I contacted 3 different companies before finally deciding to use Ideal Stairs.

So glad I did. I am a perfectionist, and I can tell you that Bahi did an amazing job of staining, painting, all the trim work, as well as the additional cove moulding I requested underneath each tread.

Bahi and Kanna were always punctual, worked very hard, and very pleasant to deal with. Mesh also followed up every day they were there, to make sure all went as planned.

From start to finish it was a great experience, and I would not hesitate referring them to anyone contemplating a remodel. Staircase looks beautiful, and will update with pictures once the remaining renovations are completed.

Awesome company and great service

Mesh and Rajan are fantastic and they put so much work into making sure that were completely satisfied. They went above and beyond to match the stain on the stairs to our hardwood, which was hard to do. They also took the time to tighten our creaky staircase from underneath to make sure the stairs not only look great, but are also nice and silent.

A pleasure to deal with and always available to talk and discuss any aspect of their work.

Stairway to Heaven!

Love love love my new staircase! Work was done week of Aug 21 2017. I had been putting off doing this project for many years. I had your typical honey coloured staircase with carpeting. I have to admit I was scared about the outcome. I wanted the modern 2 tone dark treads and white risers with new pickets etc. My fears about doing this project were unwarranted. I would highly recommend Ideal Stairs!!!!

Hardwood Flooring/Reface of Stairs

Choosing what to upgrade in your home is always a tough decision. After 2 years and a number of competing quotes I chose Ideal Stairs and what a great decision this was!
Mesh and Rajan made some great
recommendations on the major issue such as wood stain for the reface of my old oak/carpet combination on my stairs and minor issues such as the type of metal spindle, the heat
registers for the hardwood flooring and the type of baseboard.
At $32,000 the project was expensive, however as my real estate agent agreed Ideal Stairs managed to do a great refresh/improvement to my 18 year old home!

For those that want a Company that treats their home as though it were their own choose Ideal Stairs. Their patience with rectifying all issues identified was outstanding and I have to admit
that the project didn't end until I was totally
satisfied.

The clean up by the team on exit and the use of a professional cleaning crew to make my house sparkle helped to end the project on a high note.

Thank you Ideal Stairs!
