Here is a rad time lapse of the boys hoisting up a mega heavy steel mono-stringer. We installed solid 1-3/4” hickory treads and will be adding stand-off glass with matching black hardware.
Plan Ahead!
We are halfway through winter and we are busier than ever! I just wanted to take a quick minute of your time and remind you all to plan ahead! We are currently 2-3 weeks for carpet grade stairs, 4-5 weeks for stain grade standard stairs and 5-6 weeks for open rise stairs. If you want fabricated steel stairs we are currently booked out 8 weeks.
Stay warm!
Cheers
Out with the old, in with the new!
How it’s done! Here is the removal of a tired carpet grade stair and the installation of a red oak open rise set. Stairs can be crazy heavy and renovation scenarios can make installations tricky. Watch our install boys make it look easy. TEAMWORK! Job location: Barrie, ON.

Stair Lighting - Plan Ahead!
Add lighting to your stairs? No problem! Installing lights in your stairs not only makes them look cool, it will also make them a whole lot safer when using them at night. Technology in the LED market has opened up many doors with respect to the lighting options you now have. The lights are low voltage, very bright and indiscreet.
If you want to incorporate lighting in your stair & railing project, it is important you plan well in advance. We are not electricians so the electrical rough-in's would need to be completed prior and would need to be installed in the correct locations (we will do all of the planning for you). Lights are commonly installed on the walls, risers and tread overhangs. We are capable of hiding all the wire and making the lights nearly invisible until you turn them on.
Take a look at a few options in the pics below. Lights are a great addition to a stair & railing project, definitely something worth considering when planning out a build or renovation.
What's In Style? Steel Spindles!
Out with the old, in with the new! Everyone remembers the twisted, solid steel spindles in your parents house back in the 70's, 80's and 90's right? The top "railing" was that gaudy gold vinyl and the spindles were traditionally twisted flat black or painted white with gold "accents". YUCK!
Well wipe that stigma from your mind! Bezdan, our steel spindle supplier, has modernized the entire steel spindle market by offering sleek, clean and light weight new products. These new spindles offer transparency to your home while keeping a clean modern look. Here at Stairhaus, we currently install 9/10 homes in Bezdan spindles. This look is timeless and they will give your home an entirely new feel.
Bezdan is a Canadian based company located in Burnaby, BC. They have an Ontario warehouse, typically guaranteeing us orders within 24hrs to our door. We know what the other companies offer and it was an easy decision to deal with this company. Their quality and customer service is second to none.
Take a minute to browse their site as they offer many other products which are in line with their steel spindle product line. Whether it be glass fittings or steel cable, Bezdan makes sure we have the materials to get the job done.
