Hardwood Stairs in Whitby, Ontario

Stairs are the job we are called into Whitby 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 Whitby

Brooklin's newer executive homes want wide-plank white oak and an open-to-below feature stair. Downtown Whitby's Victorian and Edwardian stock wants careful restoration and a stair that respects the original newel.

Wide-plank installs and feature flights in the north, heritage refinishing and stair repair in the old town.

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.

Stairs in Whitby — questions

How much does hardwood stairs cost in Whitby?
For a 13-step flight in Whitby, budget roughly $6,300 to $8,950 before HST, at 2026 Greater Toronto labour and mill pricing. From $380–$850 per step, installed is the catalogue range; Whitby sits where it does because of local labour and access. A site measure is what turns that band into a firm number.
How long does stairs take in a Whitby home?
3–5 days for a 13-step flight, plus the finish cure window where site finishing is involved. We book Whitby site visits within a few days and give you a written schedule before the crew arrives.
Do you actually work in Whitby, or just advertise there?
Whitby is inside our core service area and we work there every month. Wide-plank installs and feature flights in the north, heritage refinishing and stair repair in the old town. Site visits in Whitby are free for qualified hardwood, stair, and railing work.
Can you match stairs to the hardwood already in my Whitby 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. Brooklin's newer executive homes want wide-plank white oak and an open-to-below feature stair.
