new stairs and railings

Recently, we had Ideal Stairs remove the old carpet on our two-storey spiral staircase, and replace it with oak treads. They also replaced the wood pickets with wrought iron, and finished everything with oak trim.

We're really pleased with the result, and have had lots of compliments already. We were impressed with the quality of the workmanship, which is significantly and noticeably better than the original builder's.

A special thanks to Mesh and Raj for squeezing our job in before our big party :-). Much appreciated!

The stairs look great, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ideal Stairs.

Floors Stairs and Railings Replacement

Ideal Stairs just completed updating our staircase from carpet to oak and installed new rails and posts. We also had the hardwood floors done in the upper hallway and family room and did a great job on matching the existing hardwood flooring we have in the bedrooms to the hallway. The floors and stairs look absolutely gorgeous and we are very happy with the end result.
Thank you to Mesh and Raj and their team of workers on a great Job... Would highly recommend.

Staircase Remodel

We found Ideal Stairs by searching for companies on the Internet. Their website stood out with pictures of beautifully transformed staircases. A visit to the showroom convinced us this was the company to go with. They installed the stairs over the course of a week. We were installing laminate on the upper floor hallway at the same time. They did some tricky cuts of the laminate around doorways without being asked which I was impressed with. They also helped my husband move a vanity into another room. When they removed the old stairs, our dog was afraid to go down the stairs because the treads were shorter. One of the installers carried him down for me. As for the installers, they worked very hard, long days and cleaned up before leaving every day. Last but not least, the stairs are absolutely gorgeous, they workmanship top notch. I would highly recommend this company.

Stair remodel

We had approximately 180 oak spindles in our stair case to be replaced with iron spindles to update our 3 storey staircase. The team that worked on our project was excellent. They worked very hard and were very neat and professional. In addition to the new spindles, they sanded and stained the stairs and railing. Their workmanship was excellent and the job was finished on time as promised. We would not hesitate to recommend them for any future projects.
Thank you Mesh and Rajan for a wonderful job.

Another Great Project

Ideal Stairs had replaced our stairs (basement and upper floors) last year and had installed hardwood floor on the landings. We had them return to do the three bedrooms. The work was completed on time and on budget with great craftsmanship. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mesh and his company for any job, stairs or flooring, that you have contemplated. You won't be disapointed.

Stair Renovation

We recently hired Ideal Stairs to re-do our stairs (previously carpet). They were extremely professional; great when it came to sharing ideas and opinions regarding what would look best once complete. Mesh was fantastic about keeping me up-to-date on how the work was progressing. The team obviously takes great pride in their work and my wife and I could not be happier with the final product. I would definitely recommend Ideal to anyone looking to complete similar work.

Stair replacement

Ideal stairs came to our home because we requires a brand new staircase as ours was falling apart due to age. They were a little slow initially starting the job but once on site the men from their team worked hard for three days replacing and staining our new stairs. The finished product is beautiful and safe. The team was creative about staggering their work in order to allow us the ability to go upstairs each night as that is where our bedrooms and bathroom are located. The team was clean and polite while at our home. I would definitely recommend them.

Great workmanship, excellent customer service

We found Ideal Stairs on Homestars and decided to get a quote for replacing the carpet on our stairs and upstairs 3 bedrooms and hallway. They were very detailed explaining exactly what was going to be included. Their quote came in $1,000 less then the nearest competitor and they included more than the other quotes received.

The team was prompt, friendly and hard working. The upstairs bedrooms and hallway turned out incredible. But the stairs were a real work of art. We were incredibly impressed and highly recommend the team at Ideal Stairs.
