Custom staircases in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville
Interior hardwood staircases, made for the bungalows and split-levels of Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville — two housing types the City documents in its own built-heritage record. On a half-level the flight is short, and it is the first thing a visitor sees.
Measured, milled at our workshop, installed and finished by our own team
Eight staircase families. One that fits your home.
On a split-level the flight is short and you see it from the front door: five to seven risers, starting almost inside the entryway. These are the eight models we build in our own shop, each available in a classic or a contemporary style, and all shown under our staircases.
Straight staircase
The most common layout. Simple, solid, and the least costly to build.
Winder staircase
A quarter or a half turn, to save floor space without narrowing the treads.
Spiral staircase
When you need a way upstairs and there is very little floor to give.
Classic staircase
Closed risers and turned balusters. The warm, timeless choice.
Modern staircase
Exposed stringer and tempered glass. The change people notice first.
Butcher Block
Thick hardwood treads glued on edge. The thickness is the whole point.
Central stringer
One steel beam down the middle, and treads that look like they float.
Luxury staircase
Curves and wrought ironwork, for when the stair is the centrepiece.
How it works, from the site visit to the install
On a flight of five to seven steps everything rides on the site visit: it is what says whether the frame stays.
A staircase drawn, built and installed by the same team.
Finished floor to finished floor, the run available on the floor, the width of the opening. Nothing is drawn before that visit.
You get a dimensioned drawing and a firm price: layout, wood species, stain, railing infill. Nothing is cut until you approve it.
Everything is made in Granby, in our own shop. Count six to eight weeks between the approved drawing and the install. We check the dimensions a second time once the stringers are laid out.
Our own crew installs it, in one to three days. No subcontractor: the same people from start to finish.
In Saint-Bruno, the staircase is the first thing anyone sees.
Split-levels dominate here, and that changes everything: five to seven risers, a start almost inside the entryway, and a flight every visitor looks at on the way in. The good news is that the frame has rarely moved — stringers from that period are usually still straight. What dates the house is the yellowed varnish, the hollow worn into the treads and the rounded-off nosings. On a flight this short, redoing only what shows transforms the entrance and costs far less than a new flight. The site visit says which of the two jobs you actually need. We cover the whole South Shore from the Granby shop.
- Treads and risers are renewed on a frame found sound at the visit
- Nosings are reshaped to give a firm edge underfoot again
- The whole flight is redrawn if the half-level has been altered since
What is included, and what drives the price
A custom staircase comes down to four or five decisions, not more. Here they are, so you know what to expect before you even call us.
- The site measurement, at your home
- The dimensioned drawing and your approval
- Manufacturing in our own shop in Granby
- Installation and finishing by our own crew
- The layout: straight, winder, spiral
- The number of treads and the height to climb
- The wood species and the stain
- The railing infill: wood, metal, glass
- Moving the floor opening
- Keeping the existing stringers and anchors
- Reusing the opening exactly as it is
- Choosing a common wood species
- Doing the staircase and the railing together

Tell us what sits between your two levels
The height from one floor to the next, the space on the floor in front of the climb, and what the upper room is used for: with those three, we can already place the project. A photograph taken from the foot of the flight fills in the rest.
The site measurement comes next, and the people who take it are the people who will install the staircase. That is when the discrepancies no drawing shows finally surface.
From the first measurement to the last tread, one team.
We subcontract neither the manufacturing nor the installation. The same team measures, mills and installs — and that is what allows us to correct on site the discrepancies no drawing ever anticipates.
Design
We measure the opening at your home, set out the rise and run, and settle the wood species and the railing. The project is fixed before a single piece is cut.
Manufacturing
Milled at the workshop, in hardwood. Every staircase is built for its own opening: nothing is assembled in series or pulled from stock.
Installation
Installed by our own team, in one to three days. Adjustments are made on site, against the real opening rather than the drawing.
Restoration
Straight, winder or spiral, classic or modern — measured at your home, milled at the workshop, installed by our team.
A few of our projects
Comparable jobs, milled and then installed by the same crew. Each entry gives the layout chosen, the species and the finish applied.
Is it the railing rather than the stairs?
In a half-level house, whatever borders the raised living room almost always sits lower than today’s requirement — and that repair is settled without touching the climb.
