Stair railings and guards in Longueuil
We rebuild interior stair handrails and guards in Longueuil: solid hardwood, lacquered steel, tempered glass. In a stacked dwelling the stairwell is narrow and closed in — everything rests on one continuous grip, screwed to the wall over the whole descent.
Measured, milled at our workshop, installed and finished by our own team
Five railing families. One that fits your stairs.
In a stacked flat the stairwell is narrow and closed in: no opening to edge, no post to plant. Everything rides on the grip. 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
On a wall-mounted handrail the site visit is about the length to run in one piece, and about what sits behind the wall finish.
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 Longueuil, everything starts with the handrail.
In a stacked flat the interior flight runs between two walls: there is no opening to edge and no post to plant. What is left is a single grip, which has to carry the run from top to bottom and take the wear of people moving in and out. It is a simple piece of work, but it forgives nothing: a profile that is too wide will not close inside the hand, and a joint halfway down is felt every single time. So we deliver a handrail in one length, in varnished hardwood or lacquered steel, two finishes that stand up to traffic. The Granby shop supplies Longueuil like the rest of the South Shore.
- A wall handrail in one piece, from the landing to the last step
- A rounded profile the hand closes around, safer in a narrow stairwell
- Varnished hardwood or lacquered steel, both built to take traffic
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

Measure the flight and the rest follows
The length of the flight, the present height of the grip and the material in place: with those three items we already know whether the work stops at the profile or goes down to the fixings.
If the unit is tenanted, tell us the date it comes free. That date drives the schedule, and it books far better in advance than at the last minute.
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
Handrails and guards milled at the workshop and fitted by the crew that built them. Each entry lists the profile, the infill and the finish chosen.
And if the flight itself needs rebuilding?
A flight that has served thirty years of rented housing ends up moving as a whole: what is rebuilt is no longer the grip, but the structure carrying it.
