Hardwood Stairs in East York, Ontario

Stairs are the job we are called into East York for most often, and it is almost always the same story: the floor was done properly and the flight was not. We rebuild the stair as millwork in the same species and stain formula as the floor it lands on.

What we walk into in East York

1930s–50s semi-detached and small detached houses, many never renovated below the carpet. Rooms are small, ceilings are low, and the original 2 1/4" strip oak is usually still there and usually worth saving.

Lifting broadloom to find intact oak, dust-contained refinishing in occupied houses, and steep narrow flights where every millimetre of run matters.

How we specify stairs here

  • Retread carpeted stairs with solid oak, maple, or walnut treads
  • Box newels, open risers, floating stringers, and bullnose starts
  • Matched species and stain to the adjacent hardwood floor
  • Rise/run, nosing projection, and guards detailed to Ontario Building Code

Stairs are where cheap flooring companies get exposed. A 3/4" floor glued to a 5/8" plywood tread, a painted MDF riser next to a $14/sq ft oak floor, a nosing that trips the building inspector — we see it every week in the GTA.

Green Hardwood builds and installs hardwood stairs as a system: treads, risers, stringers, scotia, nosing, and the first-floor landing, all in the same species and finish as the floor — or in a deliberate contrast, usually walnut against white oak.

The most requested job in 2026 is converting builder-grade carpet stairs in Vaughan, Markham, and Milton new builds into solid oak box stairs. We pull the carpet, inspect the structure, sister anything that flexes, and install solid treads with returned ends on the open side.
