Sound Familiar? ## Worn Stairs or Dated Railings in Burlington? Most calls start with one of these. Here's what each one usually means and the service that fixes it. The Local Problem ### Millcroft builder stairs reaching the 35-year mark What you notice: The carpet on the main stair is worn through at the nose, the oak handrail has gone orange, and a few painted spindles have started to loosen. Why it happens here: Millcroft's first homes went up in 1986 around the golf course, and much of the neighbourhood followed through the 1990s. Builder stairs from that period were carpeted spruce with oak rails, now 30 to 40 years old. How we fix it: Stair recapping replaces the carpet with hardwood caps, and we refinish the rail or swap spindles for a new wood stair railing in the same visit. ### Railing does not meet code for a condo or resale Condo boards and home inspectors flag handrails that miss Section 3.4.6 height and graspability. We supply a COI and code-compliant railing. Wood stair railings [/wood-stair-railings/ →](/wood-stair-railings/) ### Balusters wobble or spacing looks dated Painted 1990s spindles loosen over time and often fail the 4-inch sphere rule. Iron balusters set in two-part epoxy fix both problems at once. Iron balusters installation [/iron-balusters/ →](/iron-balusters/) ### Treads creak or feel soft underfoot Usually a loose tread or a stringer that has started to move. We check it at the free estimate and tell you if it is a repair or a sign the structure needs work.

Some need a straight staircase renovation [/straight-staircase-renovation/ →](/straight-staircase-renovation/) ; many are good candidates for recapping [/stair-recapping/ →](/stair-recapping/) . **Millcroft and Tyandaga** homes from the 1990s have carpeted builder stairs with oak rails and wood spindles. These are usually recapped and updated with new wood stair railings [/wood-stair-railings/ →](/wood-stair-railings/) or iron balusters [/iron-balusters/ →](/iron-balusters/) . ## What we usually recommend in Burlington For 1990s homes, recapping plus a baluster swap is the most efficient update. For older homes near downtown Brant Street, we check the stringers first; if they're sound, recap, and if not, rebuild. Doing recap and railing in one booking saves a second trip to the edge of our area. Real Costs ## Typical costs | Common job here | Published band | | --- | --- | | Hardwood recapping | $2,800 to $6,500 | | New wood railing run | $1,200 to $3,500 per run | | Iron baluster swap | $1,500 to $3,800 | | Straight-flight renovation | $6,500 to $14,000 | All price bands [/pricing/ →](/pricing/) Scheduling ## Timing Because Burlington estimates run on set days, booking a couple of weeks ahead gets you the date you want. Winter and early spring are the easiest times to schedule. Response time: Same-day response Monday to Friday; estimates booked on set days. Clean Site Execution ## How Set-Day Estimates Work You deal with the person who measures and builds your staircase, from the first visit to the warranty. 1. 1 ### Free In-Home Estimate On-site measurement, structural inspection and scope discussion. Andriy or a senior lead attends every estimate. Written quote within 48 hours. 2. 2 ### Design and Material Selection Wood species, stain samples against your floor, baluster and railing style. Full material list and shop drawings for approval before anything is ordered. 3. 3 ### Fabrication and Prep Straight staircases are cut in our Etobicoke shop; curved work is fitted on site. Several Toronto contractors ship prefabricated stairs from out-of-province suppliers, which limits custom fit. We build to the exact measurements of your opening. 4. 4 ### Installation by Owner-Supervised Crew Andriy Kovalenko supervises every install from tread removal through final trim. A two-person WSIB crew works behind dust barriers with floor protection throughout the home. 5. 5 ### Final Walkthrough and Warranty We walk every tread, riser, baluster and handrail with you against the written scope, then issue your written workmanship warranty. ![Finished oak staircase with black iron balusters in a Toronto home](/images/misc/finished-oak-staircase-with-matte-black-iron-balus.webp) Free, No-Obligation Estimate ## Get a Firm Estimate Date Andriy measures your stairs and checks the structure for free.

Homeowner Feedback ## What Homeowners Say Feedback from homeowners across the GTA. > "Our curved oak staircase on The Kingsway took six weeks, and Andriy told us that on day one. The iron balusters and the new handrail line up perfectly with the old curve." Marta K.The Kingsway, Etobicoke > "We wanted to keep the character of our Edwardian stairs. They refinished what could be saved, replaced the railing, and finished in three weeks as quoted." David and Helen R.Rosedale, Toronto > "The basement stairs were soft and the back steps had rotted at the bottom. One quote covered both and the price didn't move." Priya S.Guildwood, Scarborough Getting to You ## How we schedule Halton jobs Burlington is the western edge of our area, reached along the QEW from our Etobicoke shop. We group Burlington estimates on set days each week and confirm your date in writing, so you're not waiting on a vague window.

Yes for recapping and railing work. Small repairs are easier to schedule alongside another job near Guelph Line or Walkers Line. Which Halton neighbourhoods do you serve? Aldershot and Roseland in the south, Tyandaga and Millcroft to the north, and the streets off Plains Road West and Brant Street. Postal codes include L7M, L7N and L7T. How do estimate days work? We group Halton estimates on set days each week, give you a firm date on the first call and confirm it by email. Are your prices higher at the western edge of your area? No. We use the same published price bands across the GTA. Can you recap stairs and replace the railing at the same time? Yes, and in a 1990s Millcroft or Tyandaga home it is worth doing together because the carpet, rail and spindles usually date from the same year. Do you work in older Aldershot homes? Yes. Aldershot was a separate village in East Flamborough Township until 1958, and many of its homes have narrow straight stairs. We check rise and headroom before recommending caps.
