Where your job lands inside a band comes down to a few things we can see at the estimate. We'd rather tell you these up front than surprise you later. - Number of steps, and whether there are landings or winders - Wood species: red oak costs less than white oak, maple or walnut - Open sides with mitred returns versus closed stringers - Railing scope: keeping a sound rail versus new newels, rail and balusters - Structural repair once the treads are off, like a cracked stringer - Access, such as condo elevator bookings or tight older staircases ### Landlords and property managers Doing several turnovers in the same building? Ask about our 3-staircase minimum discount on vinyl capping. We can schedule one staircase per day as units turn over, and we send WSIB clearance and a Certificate of Insurance before we start. ### Design projects Custom staircase design runs $1,500 to $4,000, and the full design fee is credited against the build cost if the project proceeds with us. ### Warranty Every project gets a written workmanship warranty on all installation labour, issued at the final walkthrough. Straight Answers ## Pricing Questions How much does a staircase renovation cost in Toronto? A standard straight staircase renovation runs $6,500 to $14,000 fully turnkey. A full renovation on a typical Toronto home, with new treads, risers and any structural repair, runs $8,000 to $18,000. Curved or specialty staircases run $18,000 to $45,000. Smaller jobs cost less: vinyl capping starts at $1,800 and hardwood recapping at $2,800. The biggest price drivers are the number of steps, the wood species, how much railing work is involved and whether a stringer or joist needs repair. You get a free written estimate before any commitment, and the price on that estimate is the price we work to. What is the difference between recapping and a full renovation? Recapping overlays new hardwood or vinyl on your existing stairs without demolition, at $1,800 to $6,500. The stringers and the structure underneath stay in place, so it's faster and quieter. A full renovation removes treads, risers and any compromised stringers, then rebuilds from the structure up, at $6,500 to $18,000. Recapping is the right call when the structure is sound and level. A full rebuild makes sense when stringers are cracked, treads are sagging from below, or the rise and run need to change. We check this at the estimate before recommending either one. Do you handle iron balusters and modern glass railings? Yes. Iron baluster replacement starts at $1,500, wood railing runs at $1,200, cable railings at $2,800 per run and frameless glass railings at $3,500 per run. Every layout is checked against Ontario Building Code Section 3.4.6 and the 4-inch sphere rule before we order anything. Do you offer a warranty? Yes. Every project gets a written workmanship warranty on all installation labour, issued at the final walkthrough. Do you offer pricing for landlords with several staircases? Yes. Ask about our 3-staircase minimum discount when you're doing several turnovers in the same building. Is the design fee credited if I go ahead with the build? Yes. The $1,500 to $4,000 design phase is credited against the build cost if the project proceeds with us. Free In-Home Estimate ## Get your written quote Book a free in-home estimate.
