Stairs and Flooring

Ideal Stairs completed a stair and flooring reno on our house. We are getting it ready for sale and needed to update our stairs and flooring. Ideal Stairs quoted a fair price, completed the work on time and did an amazing job. We had our neighbours come by and everyone who saw the work was impressed. The transformation is beautiful. We definitely would recommend Ideal Stairs (and have done so to our friends).

Recapped carpeted stairs with Maple hardwood

I used Ideal Stairs recently to recap my carpeted stairs to Maple hardwood. The job was done so meticulously and on time.
Rajan's daily communication during and after the project, as well as his team's hard working ethic was commendable.
They did an excellent job of stripping and re-staining my existing posts and handrail to match the new wood colour. I was surprised that the finer edging details on the handrail weren't lost after they stripped off the old stain. Mesh was able to source the same metal spindles I had wanted.
Ideal Stairs had to coordinate their work with my flooring professional, who was quite impressed by Rajan's professionalism and the teams impeccable workmanship, so he too plans to recommend this company to his clients.
I highly recommend this company as they have exceptional service and craftsmanship, from the initial communication with Mesh until completion with Rajan and his skilled team.

Stair Remodel

I contacted Ideal Stairs to replace the carpet on my stairs with hardwood. They promptly responded and my renovation was scheduled in no time. The crew working on my stair remodel were amazing! They were hardworking and accommodating. They worked long hours to finish my stairs and every detail was finished with such care and craftsmanship. My stairs look amazing! Mesh was always so kind and a pleasure to deal with. He made sure I was happy with the results every step of the way. It was a big job and the cost was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend Ideal Stairs.

indoor Railing

I needed a railing ASAP due to a health situation. I got a number of quotes from different companies. Ideal Railing was tied up for 2 weeks with much bigger jobs but understood my situation and managed to squeeze my job in late same day. Cost was very responsible. Owner very understanding, helpful and they did an excellent job.

Professional Estimation process

I did not select Ideal Stairs, however they were an excellent company to work with. Clearer explaining what needs to happen. My initial contractor was an epic failure of bait and switch.

Railing on basement stairs

As a senior living alone I needed a railing on basement stairs for safety.
I went on Homestars and found great reviews for ideal stairs. Called the company and talked to Mesh who understood exactly what I needed..
Within a week the company sent out two workers who did a great job, they cleaned up everything when finished.
I am very happy and feel much safer using the stairs now.

Amazing job refinishing stairs

My neighbour told me about Ideal, and Im glad she did. They did an excellent job. Very professional, hard working guys. We were doing a home reno, and Ideal perfectly matched the stain on our new stairs with our new hardwood flooring. We are very happy!

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.
