Staircase Renovation in Omemee

A staircase is more than just a way to get from one floor to another; it's a central architectural feature of your home. As a local contractor here in Omemee, I believe the success of a renovation lies in the small details that are often overlooked. This means ensuring every single cut is exact, every tread is level, and the final finish is perfectly smooth. My approach is simple: do it right, with care and precision, so the result is both beautiful and built to last for years to come. I treat every project as if it were in my own home.

The Difference is in the Details

When it comes to redoing an indoor staircase, there is simply no room for error. A small miscalculation can lead to uneven steps, unsightly gaps, or premature wear. That's why my process starts with a thorough assessment of your existing structure. We check the integrity of the stringers—the backbone of your stairs—and discuss exactly what you want to achieve, whether it's a full replacement with solid oak treads or refinishing your current stairs to give them new life.

Preparation is everything. Before a single new piece is installed, the area is meticulously prepped. This involves carefully removing old materials to avoid damaging surrounding walls and floors. If we're installing new treads and risers, each one is custom scribed to fit snugly against the wall, even if the wall isn't perfectly straight. This eliminates the need for bulky trim to hide gaps and results in a clean, high-end look.

A Quiet, Solid Installation

There is nothing more distracting than a squeaky staircase. Squeaks are a sign of movement, which means something wasn't secured properly. I prevent this by using a combination of construction adhesive and fasteners, ensuring every component—from the treads to the newel posts—is bonded securely to the frame. The goal is a staircase that feels completely solid and silent underfoot.

The finishing work is where true craftsmanship shows. Sanding is done in multiple stages with progressively finer grits to create a surface that's exceptionally smooth to the touch. Stains are applied by hand to control the colour and highlight the natural grain of the wood. Finally, we apply multiple coats of a durable, professional-grade finish to protect your investment from daily foot traffic.
