In Toronto’s competitive real estate market, a renovated staircase is one of the highest-impact upgrades per dollar spent. First impressions start at the front door.
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.
Transform carpeted or worn stairs into a modern hardwood staircase — without demolition. We install solid oak caps over your existing structure with precision cuts and a perfect finish. Dust-controlled work ensures a clean process, while the result delivers a seamless, built-in look at a fraction of full replacement cost.
Outdated carpet was removed and replaced with solid oak tread caps, paired with white risers and a fully updated railing system. The result is a clean, durable staircase that matches the surrounding hardwood and elevates the entire space.
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.
We work on complex curved staircases, open-riser designs, and grand double-flight entries. If your staircase is a design feature, we treat it like one — with precision fitting, custom components, and finishes that complement the architecture.
We mix stain on site to match your floors, trim, or millwork. Whether you’re going lighter, darker, or matching an existing finish exactly, we test and confirm the colour before committing to the full staircase.
From dark espresso with white risers and black iron spindles to natural oak with warm stain and wood railings — we’ve done them all. We help you choose a direction that works with your home’s architecture, lighting, and existing floors.
We fix loose treads, squeaky risers, damaged stringers, and unstable posts before refinishing. Structural issues addressed first — cosmetic finish applied on top of a solid base.
Worn, damaged, or heavily used staircases restored to like-new condition. We strip, repair, and refinish all components — treads, risers, handrails, newel posts, and balusters — for a cohesive, premium result.
Deep scratches, dents, gouges, and worn finish areas repaired and blended before staining. The result looks uniform — no patching lines, no colour mismatches.
80s oak and brass? Carpeted treads with painted spindles? We update the look completely — new stain direction, new railing style, new risers — without rebuilding the structure.

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...
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.
The stair renovation experience was straightforward from start to finish. Communication was clear, the work was done on schedule, and there were no surprises. You can tell Max cares about doing things properly. The finished result speaks for itself, very clean, very sharp.
Max was great to work with—very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. He walked us through the options and helped us make the right decisions for the staircase. The end result looks fantastic and fits the space perfectly. You can tell the work was done with care.
