Brand New Staircase

Mesh & Rajan to the rescue!

At the beginning of Dec, 2022, we hired a contractor begin work, to remove carpeted stairs, install hardwood treads and remove, repaint and reinstall railings & spindles. After his first day of work, he left us in a complete mess & unsafe conditions, he attended on 2 more occasions without any real progress except for excuses as to why he couldnt continue on with his work. On Jan. 18, we terminated him the contractor. That same day we contacted Mesh at Ideal Stairs. He advised us that they normally dont accept work beyond Durham Region but after hearing of our dilemma, they asked us to attend their office that same day. In spite of the distance to Port Hope, they agreed to take on our project. The next day, Rajan sent out a team to start and complete the project. Two weeks later, project completed. New treads, new risers & stringers, new spindles and painted railings. Even a last minute request to include our basement stairs was taken on without hesitation or delay. We have received rave reviews on their work by family and friends. We highly recommend Ideal Stairs!

Interior Railing Replacement

We moved into an older home with a VERY low 2nd floor railing. Mesh and his team received our inquiry for a replacement at a modern height and walked us through the process. They were very accommodating and did an excellent job. The new railing looks great, is very secure and is much safer than before! Highly recommended.

Stairs Renovation

Ideals Stairs did a wonderful job with my stairs. They were very helpful from start to finish, having helped with the design process and made on-site visits to make sure the project was going well. I also appreciated that they kept the work area tidy, cleaned up at the end of the day and were friendly. There was one issue though that I wish was handled better, which was communication during a day in which the workers arrived hours later than what I was told. I called to ask where they were and was simply told that they were on their way. They apologized and told me they would keep me updated in the future. I appreciate that they were responsive to questions/concerns I had. Overall I am very happy with the results of my project and would recommend Ideal Stairs.

Great job! Stairs and floors!

We had our stairs completely transformed from carpet to hardwood, including new treads, spindles, and railings. Alongside this transformation we had the carpet replaced on our second floor. The Ideal Stairs team did a great job. Workmanship was great, but also the entire installation process was wonderful. The crews were always on time and cleaned up after every day of work. I would highly recommend these folks for any similar project!

PRODUCTS
[.::STAIRCASES::.] Our core business is fine woodworking. We custom manufacture all elements related to the staircase industry. We make posts, treads (steps), balustrades (spindles or pickets), handrails as well as entire staircases made only from red oak. Combining the custom manufacturing facility along with skilled installation crews allow us to renovate your staircase in approximately 3-5 days. Visit our website www.idealstairs.ca to view our Testimonials, and listen to very satisfied clients who have generously allowed us to record their successful renovation in their own words. [.::FLOORING - HARDWOOD AND LAMINATE::.] Staircase renovation is not our only product. We believe we are the only staircase manufacturer that will renovate your staircase AND install hardwood flooring. We want to minimize the time and disruption in your home by coordinating these two products. We are dealers for many brands of hardwood and laminate flooring but our proudest boast is we have hardwood flooring that is 25% and 100% Canadian content. We offer custom colours on your hardwood flooring (over 750 square feet) for Red Oak and Maple. We value our premium service by supplying and ensuring the colour you choose for your flooring is also used on the renovated staircase. [.::SANDING AND STAINING::.] If you already have a solid oak staircase but you want it changed to a different colour, we also provide sanding and re-staining services. We can transform your builder staircase into a dream staircase easily within your budget. While you are considering changing the colour of your staircase, this is an excellent time to change the appearance. Since we will be taking off the handrail, pickets and posts to sand and stain your steps, take the opportunity to install another post style, such as square, remodel your existing pickets and changing the look from old to new. For the record
