Custom Metal and Glass Stair Railings in Markham
A great staircase deserves a great railing. We install glass, cable, and metal Custom Stairs and Stairs Railings for homes across Markham and the GTA. All glass panels are CSA-certified tempered safety glass installed to Ontario Building Code standards.
Inside Stair Rails
Glass stair railings are one of the most popular upgrades we do for Markham homeowners. A frameless glass panel keeps sightlines open, makes your staircase feel bigger, and works in everything from Etobicoke semis to North York detached homes. We install spigot-mounted, standoff, and base shoe channel systems depending on your stair type and preference.
Outside and Deck Stair Railing Solutions
Exterior railings in Ontario must withstand freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and UV exposure without corroding or warping. We install stainless steel, aluminum, and cable Custom Stairs and Stairs Railings built for Canadian weather and compliant with OBC guardrail requirements. No matter if you require a deck stair railing in Burlington, a front porch rail in Whitby, or a cable system in Oshawa, we build and install according to the local municipal code.
Stair Railings for Lower Levels
The Ontario Building Code requires a handrail on at least one side of any stairway with two or more risers. We provide installation for wall-mounted handrails, post-and-rail systems, and glass panel Custom Stairs and Stairs Railings for basement staircases across the GTA. If your basement renovation in Ajax, Pickering, or Oshawa includes a building permit, a code-compliant stair railing is almost always part of the scope.
Wood Custom Stairs
Add warmth and character to your home with a custom wood staircase. We work with hardwoods like oak, maple, and walnut, as well as engineered wood treads built for long-term stability. Whether you want a traditional closed riser look popular in North York family homes or a light open riser design like the ones we build throughout Markham and Richmond Hill, we handle design, fabrication, and installation from start to finish. We also refinish, restain, and resurface existing wood stairs for homeowners who want a refresh without a full replacement.
Solid Riser Stairs
Solid back panels between each tread give closed riser Custom Stairs and Stairs Railings their classic, sturdy feel. A perfect choice for family homes where safety and tradition go hand in hand. Choose between two great styles: Closed Riser Closed Stringer Stairs are like the strong, silent type – solid all the way through for a classic, sturdy look.

Frequently seen in contemporary homes across Vaughan, Mississauga, and downtown Markham.
