Stair railings and guards in Sherbrooke
In a building that changes hands, the stairwell assembly is the first thing an inspector looks at and the last thing anyone had planned to rebuild. We build and rebuild the guards, the infill and the hardwood grips of interior stairs.
Measured, milled at our workshop, installed and finished by our own team
Five railing families. One that fits your stairs.
Here the caller is often a landlord: the staircase serves several units, and the same flight repeats from one floor to the next. Here are the five ways to change it, all set out under our railings and guards.
Handrail
Changing the handrail alone: the smallest budget for a real difference.
Custom guard
Same height, same code compliance, but a design you chose rather than inherited.
Glass railing
The most light, and the most dramatic change of the five.
Metal railing
Slim steel balusters, matte black. The contemporary look people ask for most.
Railings and handrails
All four families together, to compare before you decide.
How it works, from the site visit to the install
The survey then covers a whole building rather than one stairwell, and the milling is planned in batches of matching parts.
A railing drawn, built and installed by the same team.
We take the dimensions from the nose of the tread, regulated height included, and we note what can stay in place. Nothing is drawn before that visit.
You get a dimensioned drawing and a firm price: infill, handrail, fixings. 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 parts are laid out.
Our own crew installs it, in one to three days. No subcontractor: the same people from start to finish.
In Sherbrooke, we don’t survey a stairwell. We survey a building.
When the staircase serves several units, the same flight repeats from floor to floor, and that changes how the job is priced. We measure every flight in a single visit, then mill the matching parts together. Time spent inside each unit drops sharply, which matters when tenants have to be coordinated. Every post is tested one by one: the ones that hold stay, the others are rebuilt. And the work is scheduled between two leases, while the unit is empty. Our parts are milled in Granby for the whole of Estrie.
- Every flight in a building is measured in one visit
- Matching parts are milled together, cutting time spent on site
- Each post is tested one by one: the ones that hold stay in place
What is included, and what drives the price
A custom railing comes down to three or four 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 total length to cover: flight, landing, upper-floor opening
- The infill: turned wood, steel balusters, tempered glass
- The number of sections and corners
- A curved handrail rather than a straight one
- Keeping the existing posts and fixings
- Replacing the handrail only
- Choosing a standard infill rather than glass
- Doing the flight and the landing in one visit

Tell us how many flights are involved
A building does not price like a house: the number of flights, the state each one is in and the access to the units weigh as much as the gap between two posts. Give us the number of storeys served and how high the grip stands today.
Say as well whether the units are occupied, and when they come free. That is what sets the order of the visits, and the schedule follows from it.
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
Work carried out flight by flight, sometimes several times over in the same building. Each entry names the pieces that were kept, the ones that were remade, and how the grip was put back.
And if the flight itself needs rebuilding?
On a climb that the occupants of several units use every day, wear shows first in the treads and the stringers. If the play starts there, no new infill will make it good: the job changes in nature, in length and in cost.
