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!

floors replacement, new railing, levelling & extending treads on staircase staircase

They removed the original hardwood floors on the second level. Levelled stairs, extended treads and replaced railing to meet code. We have been very pleased to work with Raj & Mesh & their crew. They have been professional, on time everyday, delivered the level of quality of work we expected. They were responsive to any questions or queries we had. A great company to work with, would definitely recommend them and would use them again.

Upgrade Carpeted to Hardwood Stairs

To preface, I am an engineer by background and am very handy. I am super particular and strive for perfection. This makes me a very hard-to-please guy. I did not just take Ideal Stairs based on their 10 star rating on Home Star and their impressive repertoire of pictures and video in their gallery. I engaged them after seeing the impressive quality of their work at a friends place, visiting their showroom with my wife and getting a detail explanation from Mesh on how they upgrade stairs differently from others. Though not the cheapest, I was convinced they would meet my expectations and do a fabulous job! This they certainly did and more! I am a very proud owner of a majestic looking staircase, the focal point in my house! Neighbours and friends who have visited immediately notice and are wowed by the rich look and the clean and sharp finish.
This is what I have to say about Ideal Stairs team:
As the owner / Project manager, Rajan progressively kept me informed of the work that would be done the following day. He takes great pride in his work and has a satisfaction- guaranteed approach!
His crew are experts at what they do. Their work is organized, clean and meticulous, and they clean up daily after their work.
I have curved stairs. I have learnt that this is a monumental work of fine carpentry! It has many facets requiring different expertise, is very labour intensive and a high precision job! If you want a masterpiece, engage Ideal Stairs!

Stairs - Carpet to Hardwood

Ideal Stairs was fantastic to deal with. Mesh, Rajan and the rest of the team were always courteous, professional and willing to answer any questions we had about the project. They were patient with us as we had many questions during the initial quote. We had originally wanted to stick with our old railing but after further discussion during the project and more patience from the team, we decided for a new one and could not be happier (with no added time either). The nosing on the 2nd floor was measured perfectedly for our LVP flooring\underlayment (which we installed afterwards) to slide underneath. Thanks again, we highly recommend Ideal Stairs.

Amazing Team, Amazing Results

As you can see from the before and after photos, Rajan and his team of excellent workers did an amazing job transforming my outdated, worn, yellowing stairs into what I think is a work of art.
I only had a very small window to get this job done. And Rajan bent over backwards to work around the painters schedule and the flooring install to get this done on time.
I can't say enough good things about them and their work!
It was such a pleasure having them in my home.

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.

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.

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.
