Custom staircases in Mont-Saint-Hilaire
The ground rules here. A sloping lot breaks a house into offset platforms, and the run has to pick up every one of them. We mill the interior hardwood staircase that does that work, from the garage set low into the hill up to the mezzanine that looks out at the mountain.
Measured, milled at our workshop, installed and finished by our own team
Eight staircase families. One that fits your home.
On a sloping lot the house breaks into staggered levels: the stairs link four or five floors, not two. Not every layout works in that setup. 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
Here every change of level is measured on its own. A flight built to a template gives itself away by the third step.
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 Mont-Saint-Hilaire, the ground slopes and the house breaks into levels.
On the roads climbing toward the mountain, few houses sit flat. The builder followed the slope: garage below, living room half a level up, bedrooms higher again. So your stairs link four or five floors, and every gap has its own height. That is why a stock staircase never fits here — it gives itself away by the third step. We measure each change of level separately, and it is that survey, not a preference, that decides whether the run goes up in one piece or breaks. The Granby shop delivers throughout Montérégie.
- Every half-level is measured on its own, never inferred from the last
- One continuous run or a broken one, whichever the slope dictates
- Installation is set to the real finished floor, not the level on the plan
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

Give us the height of every half-level
A house built in stages is poorly described by a single measurement. Work upward instead, noting the height that separates each finished floor from the one above. That tells us straight away whether the run will need to break.
Attach two images: one taken from the highest landing, one from the foot of the void. The site measurement follows, carried out by the crew that will build the flight.
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
Three documented projects, from the initial measurement through to the final coat. Each entry records the species chosen, the stringer type and the tone that came out of it.
Is it the railing rather than the stairs?
Where the flight dates from the build and still carries perfectly well, the guard around the void is what shows its age first. On an open mezzanine that replacement happens without touching a single tread.
