Hardwood Stairs in Oshawa, Ontario

Stairs are the job we are called into Oshawa 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 Oshawa

Century homes downtown, dense 1940s–60s worker housing through the centre, and newer subdivisions in the north. The mid-century stock frequently has full-house strip oak in better condition than anything a big-box store sells today.

Whole-house sand and finish, board replacement where a radiator leaked, and stair retreads in tight 1950s flights.

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.

Do you actually work in Oshawa, or just advertise there?

Can you match stairs to the hardwood already in my Oshawa house?
Yes — matching is the normal case, not the exception. We identify the species and grade, sample the stain against your existing boards in daylight, and sign the sample off with you before anything is cut. Century homes downtown, dense 1940s–60s worker housing through the centre, and newer subdivisions in the north.
