Coordinate materials and colour
Plan how the staircase will meet adjacent floors and whether the wood should match or intentionally contrast.
Include railing connections
Review posts, handrails and balusters with the stair finish so connected work is planned in the right order.
A staircase is more than just a way to get from one floor to another; it's a significant architectural feature of your home. It demands absolute precision because even a minor miscalculation is noticeable. Our approach is built on meticulous measurement, careful material selection, and an obsessive focus on the small details that make a big difference. We're not just installing stairs; we are crafting a central element of your home that needs to be both beautiful and perfectly functional for years to come.
The Importance of a Detailed Plan
A successful indoor staircase renovation begins long before the first piece of wood is cut. It starts with a thorough assessment of your existing structure. We check for any structural issues, measure tread depth and riser height for consistency and safety, and discuss the exact look you want to achieve. Are we matching existing hardwood floors? Are we creating a new focal point with contrasting materials? Every choice is deliberate and planned out meticulously.
Preparation is Everything
The difference between a good job and an exceptional one is in the preparation. This means carefully removing the old materials to avoid damaging the surrounding walls and floors. It involves preparing the underlying stringers—the backbone of the staircase—to ensure they are perfectly level and secure. If we're refinishing, this stage involves a multi-step sanding process with progressively finer grits to create a perfectly smooth surface, free of any old imperfections. We don't cut corners here, because a flawless foundation is essential for a flawless finish.
Installation and Finishing Touches
During installation, every component, from the treads and risers to the newel posts and balusters, is cut with exacting precision. We ensure tight, clean joints and gaps that are virtually invisible. When it comes to finishing, we apply stains and protective coats in a controlled manner to avoid drips, bubbles, or unevenness. The goal is a durable, elegant finish that not only looks incredible but also stands up to daily foot traffic. This careful, methodical process is what truly defines a professional renovation.

"Finding the right flooring can be stressful and expensive. And finding the right installer could be the same. With so many incapable installers out there, you just never know who to trust. Rudy was professional and prompt from the start. They showed up when promised and started working without delay. They nailed and used adhesive where necessary. I am very impressed with their skill and attention to detail and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Delight Flooring and I look forward to my second floor hardwood installation."

"Pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Very clear communication and prompt response throughout the process between Rudy and I. The install crew (Sam and "Monsiour" Ali) are hard working, super nice and very flexible. The job was in our new condo and on the last day, the service elevator went out. The crew did a great job cleaning up and disposing of my old baseboards/carpet with the limited elevator access. My new flooring looks great. Great job guys."

"We needed to renovate our new house to get rid of some UGLY parquet floors & carpet. Rudy and his team came and gave us a very good estimate (we had had a few). The job was completed on time and on budget. The team were really polite professional and more importantly CLEAN! Thanks for my amazing floors Rudy!"
