The details that make a staircase.
Nosings made on site
We fabricate each nosing on site from the flooring or a matching material, so the profile, colour and grain line up with the floor. No mismatched store-bought trim.
Curved and round stairs
Every tread on a curve has its own shape. We measure and cut each one so the grain follows the turn and the edges run as one clean line.
Transitions and landings
Where the stair meets the floor, the landing or the hallway, we plan returns, transitions and trim so each change in height looks intentional.
Around the curve.
Watch a staircase go from bare steps to fitted wood treads. From the landing you can see the grain follow the turn and meet the floor above.
From first look to last tread.
- 01
Talk it through
Send a photo or call. Brody asks about the stair, the floor you're choosing and your timing.
- 02
Measure and plan
We look at the stair as it's actually built: tread depth, rise, the curve, the landing and how it meets each floor.
- 03
Choose the material
Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank or laminate. We can source proven products for you, matched to the stairs and the floor.

Fabricate and fit
Nosings, returns and transitions are made on site and fitted step by step, with clean joints and consistent edges.
Before the first tread.
What is a stair nosing?
The nosing is the front edge of each stair tread. It protects the edge, gives your foot a clean line to find, and is where a stair either looks finished or looks added on. We make ours on site so the profile, colour and grain match your floor and the actual stair.
Can you do curved or round stairs?
Yes. Curved and round stairs are some of our favourite work. Each tread is measured and cut to its own shape so the grain follows the turn and every edge lines up.
Can my stairs match my new floor?
Usually, yes. Because we make nosings and transitions on site from the flooring or a matching material, the stairs can continue the floor instead of interrupting it. We confirm what's possible for your product at the estimate.
Do you do vinyl or laminate stairs too?
Yes. We work with hardwood, luxury vinyl plank and laminate, and plan the stair edge and transitions around the product you choose.
How much does a staircase cost?
Labour starts at $100 per closed step, $125 per step open on one side, $175 per step open on both sides and $130 per winder, plus $50 per nosing and tread material. Your written estimate confirms the full scope. See the stair price guide ↗
Do you work with builders, designers and realtors?
Yes. If you have a stair or flooring scope on a project or a listing, send it over and we'll price it on your specification.
Tell us about your stairs.
How many steps, straight or curved, and the floor you have in mind. Brody will follow up to talk it through and arrange a measure.

The details we consider.
Custom nosings, transitions and millwork, made on site to fit your home. Every joint, grain direction and change in height is considered—so your staircase feels like part of the design.
The details we consider
Stairs are where a flooring installation either feels complete or added on. We fabricate nosings, returns, transitions and supporting millwork on site to fit the actual staircase and floor. Careful measurements, grain direction and clean joints allow each change in height or material to feel intentional, continuous and built for the home.
