What makes stair recapping a favorable choice?
Choosing stair recapping is a smart way to give your stairs a fresh look without spending too much or causing a lot of disruption. It’s cost-effective, doesn’t mess with the walls or structure, and keeps the stairs accessible during the upgrade. With various design options available, it’s a quick and convenient choice for those wanting an affordable and efficient improvement while keeping everything running smoothly.
How does stair recapping work?
To start recapping stairs, we first remove the existing handrail, spindles, posts, carpet, and trim. Each step is measured with a template to make custom-sized replacements. After cutting the nosing, we do most of the painting and staining on-site. Finally, we install the new treads, risers, trims, and add the finishing touches to complete the process.
How much time does stair recapping usually require to finish?
The stair recapping process typically takes around 4-5 days to finish. Throughout this timeframe, we prioritize a comprehensive cleanup to ensure a neat and tidy outcome.
Why Choose Us?
With a solid presence in the stair renovation industry since 2009, Empire Stairs has consistently delivered excellent service to clients in the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions. Before starting the stair recapping process, clients can choose from Canadian Red Oak, Maple, or other exotic hardwoods for their stairs. We utilize custom templates to manufacture treads and trims that perfectly fit the stairs. Stain and finishing are meticulously matched in our warehouse, with client approval before application.
