Hardwood Stairs in Guelph, Ontario

Stairs are the job we are called into Guelph 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 Guelph

Limestone and brick Victorians through the older wards, dense student rental stock near the university, and newer detached growth in the south end. Original floors are frequently sound under decades of neglect.

Restoration over replacement, board patching, and finishes chosen for houses that will keep taking abuse.

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.

Can you match stairs to the hardwood already in my Guelph house?
Yes — matching is the normal case, not the exception.
