Custom staircases in Granby

The interior hardwood staircase you order here is cut and assembled at 805 boulevard Industriel, in your own town. Measuring does not wait for a regional round to fill up, and the boards are looked at standing in the workshop rather than on a colour card.

OUR STAIRCASES

Eight staircase families. One that fits your home.

Our shop is at 805 boulevard Industriel, in your own town. You can come and look at the species standing up, under the light they will be worked in, before you choose. 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.

METHOD

How it works, from the site visit to the install

In Granby the sequence is the same as anywhere else — except every step of it happens a few minutes from your door.

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

01
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.

02
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.

03
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.

04
Installation and finish

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

In Granby, your staircase is built a few minutes from your door.

The shop is at 805 boulevard Industriel. That changes three very concrete things for you. The site visit gets booked straight away, without waiting for a regional run to fill up. Species get compared standing in the shop aisle, under the light they will be machined in, rather than on a sample the size of your hand. And if a measurement turns out wrong during assembly, someone comes back the same day. You can also come and watch your flight being put together, by appointment. The shop sits in Granby and serves the rest of Estrie too.

WHAT YOU GET

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.

Included in every project
  • 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
What pushes the price up
  • 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
What brings it down
  • 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 you have at home and we will tell you what it costs. The form is right below.

QUOTE REQUEST

Three details, and the rest is seen on site

The total height to climb, the clear length in front of the stairs and what happens in the room at the top: with those, we can give you a useful answer on the first exchange. A photograph taken from the bottom of the stairwell rounds it out.

Measuring comes next, and with the workshop in Granby it rarely lands further out than the same week. Whoever takes those measurements is also who will be back to fit the flight.

One shot taken from the bottom of the stairwell and one from the top of the climb: that is what we most often lack.
Only your name and email are required. We reply within 24 to 48 business hours.

TURNKEY SERVICE

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.

Custom staircase design work at the Escaliers Messier workshop

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.

Hardwood staircase being built at the Escaliers Messier workshop

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.

PROJECTS

A few of our projects

Comparable flights, drawn and then built in the same workshop. Each entry gives the layout, the wood species and the finish that was chosen.

THE OTHER JOB

Is it the railing rather than the stairs?

Balusters too far apart, a tired grip, a height from another era: as long as the flight is sound, everything happens above the stringer, and a workshop down the road delivers without taking the climb apart.

Frequently asked questions

Can the workshop be visited before ordering?
Yes, by appointment, at 805 boulevard Industriel. It is the only place where you can see a flight half assembled and compare two species side by side under the same light. There is nothing to prepare, and nothing to sign on the way out.
Is the lead time shorter because the workshop is here?
No. Between approval of the drawing and installation day, allow six to eight weeks, in Granby as anywhere else: the lead time comes from the queue at the workshop, not from transport. What being close by shortens is something else — the back and forth around measuring and corrections.
Which species holds up best in an entrance hall?
Oak takes the traffic and shows little. Maple keeps a pale tone but lets more marks show. Birch sits between the two. We bring samples to the measuring visit, to be looked at in the room itself: the light in a workshop is never the light in a hallway.
Does replacing an interior flight call for a permit?
As long as the floor opening already exists and the structure is left alone, this is a replacement rather than an alteration. The rules remain municipal: the Town planning department is the one to ask, and preferably before the order goes out.
Do you work with contractors in the region?
Yes, and often on new build. The layout is then locked on the drawings, while the finished floors are still to come, and we hand the dimensions to the flooring installer. On a job inside town, one visit to the workshop mid-build settles on the spot what an email exchange drags out over several days.
