Modern Stair Design and Installation

So, you’ve made the decision to elevate your home with a new stairs project. Perhaps your existing staircase has seen better days, with railings needing attention or wooden steps showing wear. It might be a range of issues – loose support posts, a damaged stair, or you’re simply seeking a fresh aesthetic with modern stairs. Whatever drives your decision, it’s crucial to consider several key factors when selecting a contractor for stairs and railings in Toronto.

What to Expect in Terms of Cost for Stairs Installation?

The cost for stairs can vary based on factors like materials, design complexity, and installation requirements. For a basic wooden staircase, prices may start around $4,000. However, incorporating elements like glass railings or metal support posts can increase the cost. For instance, a modern staircase with glass panels and wooden railings might range from $6,000 to $10,000, depending on size and detail. For those seeking luxury and sophistication, a staircase design integrating unique materials like walnut or custom shapes, can cost upwards of $15,000.

Circular Stairs

Circular staircases offer functional ascent and visual splendor, their space beneath providing extra storage. Both practical and decorative, they emphasize architectural style, making grand statements that vastly enhance entryway appearances. Suitable for residential and commercial purposes, Royal Oak Railing & Stair custom-tailors designs per client needs and desires. Peruse our gallery showcasing prior work, then contact us to discuss options.

Open Concept Stairs

Contemporary architecture favors visual openness, lightness and simplicity inside. Open-concept stairs align with these trends, complementing minimalist, modern or traditional designs. Comprised solely of treads - horizontal components - spacing remains free, creating an airy, floating atmosphere. Equally functional and safe as enclosed counterparts, they're beautiful decorative elements too. A major benefit is not partitioning rooms into separate enclosed spaces, ideal for small areas or those lacking natural light.

Straight Stairs

Straight staircases boast myriad advantages and design options today, rendering them not just functional but visually arresting. Simplest in construction, they typically cost far less depending on detailing. Their versatility makes them among the most popular, suitable for residences and public spaces alike. Another obvious boon is pragmatism - straight designs ease movement and transporting furniture/goods. With diverse possibilities, straight stairs unite form and function seamlessly. With the help of our team, a straight staircase will fit in beautifully into the design of your space.

Winder Box Stairs

Winder box stairs charm with unique form and compact design fitting where circular stairs can't. Perfect for small spaces like cottages or auxiliary attic/basement access, their space-efficient style proves popular in compact, sustainable homes. At Royal Oak Railing & Stair, we ensure Building Code compliance for comfort and safety, installing high-quality railings with handrails in various materials to prevent falls while enhancing visuals. Our expert craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure reliable, beautiful winder box stairs tailored to your needs and space.
