What we do

Staircase refinishing

Sand, stain, and seal your existing hardwood stairs with a dust-free process that produces a smooth, durable finish. We strip old coatings down to bare wood, repair surface damage, and apply premium stains and polyurethane topcoats — custom matched to your floors. Most refinishing projects are completed in 3–5 days.

Replace carpet or damaged treads with solid oak stair caps installed directly over your existing structure. No demolition required. Clean edges, tight fit, and a finish that matches your new or existing hardwood floors. A cost-effective way to get the look of a brand-new staircase.

Custom railing installation

Upgrade to wrought iron, stainless steel, glass, or hardwood railing systems. We replace balusters, newel posts, and handrails — or install a complete custom railing from scratch. Iron and glass railings are consistently the highest-impact visual upgrade on any staircase.

What our clients say

Richmond Hill

John Seigel

5 stars out of 5

The 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. There were many additional small tasks which they handled very well. They have design skills if you need them. The house looks great. Very talented and reliable people. I should also say they are very professional providing detailed quotations and billing.

Maxim 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 no dust penetrated other areas of the house. Maxim also installed wainscoting and trim work throughout the hallway, stairwell and landing. We would highly recommend their workmanship with very little disruption to the home.

Max of Strataline Inc. did an exceptional job creating 1) a custom inside railing for a winding grand staircase and 2) installing outdoor railings. He even used a 3D printer to create a custom handle for an outdoor railing that had to be installed on a slight diagonal. Max is punctual, neat and very professional. We will be hiring him for additional projects.

We’re really happy with how everything turned out. The ceilings look completely smooth now, and the whole process was much cleaner than we expected. Max and his team were professional, showed up when they said they would, and paid attention to the details. It made a big difference in how the house feels.
