Read full reviewI love my new stairs! I am so happy I chose Strataline to renovate the staircase in my house.
Read full reviewHe painted several other areas as well and sanded and reapplied urethane on all our new doors. He and Galina are superb craftsmen. Their attention to the smallest of details speaks volumes of the pride they take in their work.
Read full reviewMax and his team at Strataline have done multiple home improvement projects for us, including stair refinishing, popcorn ceiling removal, new flooring and interior painting. From the start their team was professional and punctual.
Read full reviewThe Popcorn removal was excellent and a very clean process. They also transformed our stairs from boring oak to a much more modern look. They handled repainting of the whole house and replacement of old tile floors with a beautiful new one.
Read full reviewWe initially contacted Max to remove the popcorn finish on our vaulted great room ceiling & to refinish/modernize our curved 'blonde-oak' finished stairway leading downstairs.
Read full reviewMax of Strataline Inc. did an exceptional job creating 1) a custom inside railing for a winding grand staircase and 2) installing outdoor railings.
Read full reviewWe had great experience working with Max. He was very attentive to all our concerns and requests, easy communication and quality of workmanship is outstanding!
Read full reviewAmazing team, they painted my entire home , extremely attentive to the details, they cover and mask everything to avoid dust and mess ( I am super picky and OCD and hard to please but Galina and Maxim nailed it).
Read full reviewExcellent services: customer service, expertise, pricing policy. Impressive scheduling and delivering services by expected date of completion.
Read full reviewExcellent team , top notch quality! Very happy with their work!
Read full reviewMy wife and I used the services to paint our entire condo, including the ceilings, walls and baseboards. In addition, they installed new kick boards under our kitchen island, counters and in the bathrooms.
Read full reviewWe had an excellent experience working with Maxim and Strataline Inc. Installing and perfectly matching a custom stain for our oak treads was no small task, and the addition of the square posts made it an even greater technical challenge—but everything was executed flawlessly.
Read full reviewWOW! Just WOW! Max removed all the popcorn from our 1800 sq ft town home, repainted from top to bottom plus did some carpentry repairs on our floors…and the final result is spectacular!
Read full reviewMaxim at Strataline did a very professional job in removing our hallway popcorn/stucco ceiling. The end result was a completely smooth surface and not only that, they totally sealed off the area so absolutely not dust penetrated other areas of the house.
Read full reviewMy husband and I are unbelievably happy with the work that Max and his team did on our ceilings in the house. The professionalism of this team is incredible.

Planning questions
We renovate interiors, including ceilings, stairs and railings, painting, flooring, wallpaper, kitchens, bathrooms, doors and windows. Work can be one carefully defined repair or a coordinated renovation across several rooms. We identify the work our crew performs and the licensed or specialized partners needed for the project, with responsibilities and exclusions recorded in the written scope.
We regularly serve Woodbridge, Vaughan, Toronto, the GTA and Southern Ontario. Suitable cottage-country and remote-Ontario work is also considered, including Muskoka, Parry Sound, French River, Six Mile Lake and Georgian Bay islands. Project fit depends on the scope and practical access; travel, accommodation and special transport are quoted according to the work.
Send the property city, the work you want done, preferred timing, approximate dimensions and clear wide and close photographs. Include connected work, visible damage, access restrictions and whether anyone will be living in the home. This lets us discuss a useful starting scope; final measurements and uncertain conditions may still require a site visit.
For applicable work such as ceiling removal, stair sanding, wall correction and painting preparation, our dust-free process combines containment, floor and furniture protection, HEPA extraction, Festool and Mirka sanding equipment, controlled sanding, air management, cleanup and inspection. The system captures sanding dust and protects occupied areas. Demolition and brick cutting still generate dust at the work point and need operation-specific containment.
We do not apply one universal project minimum. Small work may be accepted when it matters to the client, is technically demanding, supports accessibility, involves an existing client or is logistically practical. A defect only a few square inches in size can require protection, filling, sanding, priming, colour matching and repainting a larger plane so it does not look patched.
A typical larger project uses 30% when booked or products are ordered, 30% when products arrive at the client’s property, and 40% following installation and completion. These terms are flexible, not mandatory for every project. The individual written agreement controls and identifies the milestones so payment follows the agreed purchasing and construction plan.
We warrant our labour and installation to the original client for as long as that client owns the property, subject to the applicable manufacturer-warranty period for supplied products. Where no meaningful manufacturer warranty exists, workmanship coverage continues through the original client’s ownership. If a problem is caused by our workmanship, we return and correct it. Coverage ends when the property is sold or another contractor modifies or repairs the covered work.
The warranty covers genuine labour or installation defects. It excludes ordinary dirt, normal wear, accidental damage, misuse, inadequate maintenance, unrelated water intrusion, structural movement and client-supplied product defects.
The appropriate licensed trade partners complete regulated electrical, plumbing, HVAC, gas and similar work, coordinated by Strataline. Our ordinary renovation crew does not personally perform every specialty. The written scope identifies the required trades and responsibilities. For electrical work, the contractor’s ECRA/ESA licence can be checked through the Electrical Safety Authority.
Often, with a practical plan for usable rooms, protected circulation and temporary restrictions. The answer depends on the scope, drying stages and whether essential stairs, the kitchen or the only bathroom must close. We discuss those interruptions before scheduling. A contained work zone still needs to remain clear of household traffic while work is underway.
Yes, we accept suitable cottage-country and remote-Ontario projects, including water-access properties and island cottages. We have experience with tool transport by boat, barge delivery, window and door delivery, remote material handling, accommodation and freight planning. The access plan forms part of the quote because a cottage project involves more than the work inside the building.
Yes. We accept small and large accessibility projects, including short handrails, grab bars, extra railings, safety modifications, door and access changes, and bathroom adaptations. The importance of the change to the client matters more than its visible size. We review the recommended location, suitable support and practical construction conditions before defining the work.
A useful quote identifies the surfaces and rooms included, preparation, repair assumptions, materials or allowances, finishing, protection, cleanup and exclusions. It also sets out responsibilities, sequencing and payment milestones. Compare those details before comparing totals: a removal-only price and a repaired, primed and painted result describe different amounts of work.
