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.
Escaliers Messier designs, manufactures and installs custom staircases in hardwood in Sherbrooke and the surrounding area, from our workshop in Estrie, from the first sketch to the installation at your home.
The same workshop answers a contractor closing in a frame and a homeowner replacing a flight from 1960. In both cases the layout follows from the stairwell, never from a photograph. 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.

The most common layout. Simple, solid, and the least costly to build.

A quarter or a half turn, to save floor space without narrowing the treads.

When you need a way upstairs and there is very little floor to give.

Closed risers and turned balusters. The warm, timeless choice.

Exposed stringer and tempered glass. The change people notice first.

Thick hardwood treads glued on edge. The thickness is the whole point.

One steel beam down the middle, and treads that look like they float.

Curves and wrought ironwork, for when the stair is the centrepiece.
Whether the order comes from a contractor or a homeowner, the sequence does not change. What changes is where we step into the site schedule.

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.
We manufacture interior stairs in hardwood in our Montérégie workshop, and we install them ourselves in Sherbrooke and the surrounding area. The survey is done at your home, the machining and the finishing at the workshop, and it is the same team that comes back for the installation.
Distance changes the way we plan, not the way we work. We group the survey and decisions in a single visit, and then we arrive with a finished staircase, ready to be installed.It is precisely because the workshop is far away that nothing should be left pending on the day of installation.

The layout, the type of wood, the colour, the type of railing and the path to the cage – these five points are fixed to the survey and do not move. On a local site, a detail can be decided on the way; on a project in the Estrie, each additional round trip weighs on everyone’s schedule.
What remains adjustable on site is of a different order: the adjustment of the stringers against a wall that is never perfectly level, the fittings of handrail, the resuming of a few millimeters of play at the start or at the end.These are installation adjustments, not design decisions, and our team arrives equipped to deal with them the same day.
This clear separation between what is decided and what is adjusted allows us to keep a date of installation at a distance, so a staircase delivered in Estrie arrives in the same state of finish as a staircase installed ten minutes from the workshop.

Built in our workshop and installed in your home by the same team. Distance does not change the promised schedule or how we work.

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.

Every staircase is built for its own opening. Nothing is mass-assembled or pulled from stock.

An existing hardwood staircase can be sanded and refinished on site without being completely removed.
Yes, the on-site survey is not negotiable: floor to floor height, the opening of the stairwell opening and the clearances decide what is feasible at your home, and none of these measurements are taken over the phone or on an architect’s plan, which rarely reflects the cage as it was built. We simply arrange the visit so that we cover everything at once. quote.
No, because the main time is the manufacturing and finishing in the workshop, not the transportation. The typical lead time of six to eight weeks applies in the same way. Only the day of installation requires a little more coordination, since it is planned around a longer travel. We set it once the manufacturing has begun, never before.
We prefer to leave staineds samples on site during the measurement, so you can look at them in the real light of your cage rather than on a screen. A hue is not judged in a photo: the grain of the wood and the lighting of the room completely change the rendering. stairs in hardwood.
Our team, the same team that surveyed the cage and machined the parts, does not go through a local installer. This is what allows us to make up for the gaps that are not foreseen in any plan on site, because the person who adjusts already knows the part and knows why such a decision was made at the survey.
Yes, from sandblasting with refinition to the complete replacement of the fly. It is the condition of the stringers that decides the extent, and this can be seen on the survey, not on a photo. renovation of stairs.
