TYPICAL LEAD TIME

OUR STAIRCASES

Eight staircase families. One that fits your home.

Between the houses of the old village and the streets put up after the war there can be forty years of difference across a single neighbourhood. The stairwell is then neither the same width nor the same storey height. 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 hardwood staircase with a glass guard

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 wooden staircase with wrought metalwork

Luxury staircase

Curves and wrought ironwork, for when the stair is the centrepiece.

METHOD

How it works, from the site visit to the install

Two neighbouring houses can be forty years apart. The site visit is first of all about working out which of the two you are in.

Custom interior staircase and its guard, designed, built and installed by Escaliers Messier

A staircase drawn, built and installed by the same team.

We measure at your place

Finished floor to finished floor, the run available on the floor, the width of the opening. Nothing is drawn before that visit.

Drawing and quote

You get a dimensioned drawing and a firm price: layout, wood species, stain, railing infill. Nothing is cut until you approve it.

Built in our shop

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.

Installation and finish

Our own crew installs it, in one to three days. No subcontractor: the same people from start to finish.

custom staircases in Boucherville, from survey to installation

We design, manufacture and install interior stairs in hardwood for residential use in Boucherville. The measurement is done at your home, the machining and the finishing at our workshop in Montérégie, and the installation is ensured by the same team.

In a residential area that has already been built, the most frequent request is not a new staircase but a replacement. An original staircase that has served its purpose, a railing below the regulatory height, treads covered with carpets that we want to find in hardwood.

Replacing a staircase in an already finished house

This is the most difficult and common case, as the floor is laid, the walls are painted, and the staircase is often the only access to the floor during the work. The first question is not aesthetic, but concerns the sequence and the actual time during which the house will be cut in half.

The second concerns the grip. As long as the layout and the length to the ground remain the same, the floor is only touched on the periphery and the re-installation is limited to a few boards. As soon as the flight becomes longer or the stairwell opening has to be opened, we enter into structural work, with all the finishing that this implies.

That’s why we open a checkpoint before we quote rather than after. An estimate given without seeing the condition of the stringers is worthless. A bad surprise during the construction is always more expensive than one more visit at the start.

Installation in 1 to 3 Days

Installation takes one to three days depending on the layout. The staircase arrives machined and ready, not as parts to assemble on site.

The railing and handrail are installed by the same team as part of the staircase installation.

Machined for Your Stair Opening

Refinishing Is Possible

An existing hardwood staircase can be sanded and refinished on site without being completely removed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What we are asked to do in Boucherville.

How long does the house stay cut in half?

For a replacement with the same layout, count the day of installation and the drying time if the finishing is completed on site. It is precisely to reduce this downtime that we apply the bulk of the finishing in the workshop, before delivery, and we plan the sequence with you before setting the date.

Can we keep the staircase and only change the railing?

Very often, yes, and it is the re-installation with the most favorable cost-benefit ratio. If the existing anchor points are healthy, the new railing takes over the same supports. If the old posts were fixed in the floor covering rather than in the framework, the re-installation goes down to the structure. railing of stairs.

Can a staircase covered with carpet become wood again?

It depends on what is underneath. Some vols have treads in solid hardwood that sandblast and refinish; others have treads of construction, never intended to be seen, which then have to be dressed or replaced. renovation of stairs.

Should the railing be upgraded to current standards?

As soon as you replace it, yes. The height and aperture requirements are stricter than those applied a few decades ago, which is why a remade railing often appears higher than the one it replaces.This is a normal effect, not a manufacturing error.

Do you also work in new construction?

Yes, and this is the simplest case: the measurements are straight, the access is clear and the installation is done before the floor finishes. The staircase is then drawn at the same time as the stairwell opening, which opens up more possible layouts. staircase types.
