## Worn Carpeted Stairs in Newmarket?

Most calls start with one of these. Here's what each one usually means and the service that fixes it.

The Local Problem

### Carpeted stairs from the 1980s Highway 404 commuter boom

What you notice: The stair carpet is bald at the nosings and a couple of treads crack when you step on the edge.

Why it happens here: Newmarket grew about 4.3% a year through the 1980s as Highway 404 made it a commuter town, and builders of that boom used spruce or plywood treads meant to sit under carpet.

How we fix it: Vinyl stair capping covers the old treads in about a day, and stair tread replacement fixes any cracked ones before the caps go on.

### Carpet is worn, stained or chipping at the nose

Common on 1980s to 2000s builder stairs. Recapping or vinyl capping covers it in days, not weeks, without touching the structure underneath.

### 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.

### 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.

## Newmarket Builder Stairs Under the Carpet

Homes in Stonehaven, Glenway, Summerhill Estates and Woodland Hill mostly date from the 1980s to 2000s. The stairs are carpeted builder stairs over spruce or plywood treads, with oak or pine handrails. The structure is usually sound, which makes them ideal for

 or 

hardwood recapping

## How a One-Day Capping Job Works

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.

    ### 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.

    ### 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.

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

Homeowner Questions

## Vinyl and Hardwood Capping Questions

Can you quote vinyl capping from photos?

Yes. Vinyl capping is quoted after photo review, from $1,800 per staircase.

Which Newmarket subdivisions do you work in?

Stonehaven, Glenway, Summerhill Estates and Woodland Hill, plus the streets along Davis Drive and Leslie Street. Postal codes include L3X and L3Y.

What is usually under the carpet on 1980s stairs?

Spruce or plywood builder treads. They're a good base for vinyl or hardwood caps once loose treads are screwed down.

How long does vinyl capping take?

About one day for most 13-step staircases.

Can you fix a few cracked treads first?

Yes. Tread replacement runs $180 to $380 per tread, and we do it before capping.

Do you work on older homes on Main Street?

Yes. Interior stairs need no heritage approval, but Lower Main Street South is a heritage conservation district, so structural work that changes the outside of a building there, such as front steps, needs a heritage permit first.
