Professional staircase installation in Ontario requires experience, precision, and the right approach to working within an active home. At C.O.R.S Staircases, our installation team brings the same level of care to every project as the design and fabrication phases — ensuring the finished result matches the plan exactly.
Our Installation Approach
Because all staircase components are pre-fabricated in our workshop before arriving at your home, on-site installation is efficient, clean, and predictable. We do not improvise on-site — every component arrives ready to install.
Site Preparation
Before any components are brought in, we prepare the installation area. Existing flooring and adjacent surfaces are protected. We confirm the staircase opening dimensions against our fabrication specifications and address any minor structural adjustments needed to achieve a perfect fit.
Component Installation
Steel stringers are anchored to the floor and upper structure. Treads are secured in sequence, checked for level, and inspected for surface quality. Glass panels are installed last, with hardware torqued and tested to meet Ontario Building Code structural requirements.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
Once installation is complete, we conduct a thorough inspection of every component — tread security, railing stability, hardware tightness, and surface finish. Protective coverings are removed and the area is cleaned before we leave.
How Long Does Installation Take?
Most custom staircase installations are completed in a single day. More complex projects may require two days. We confirm the installation timeline at the project planning stage so you can plan accordingly.
Ontario Building Code Compliance
Every staircase we install meets or exceeds Ontario Building Code requirements for rise and run dimensions, railing heights, structural load capacity, and glass specifications. We advise on permit requirements before the project begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be home during installation?
We recommend someone is present at the start and end of the installation day. During the work itself, you do not need to supervise constantly — our team works independently and will flag any questions as they arise.
Will installation damage my existing floors?
We take thorough precautions to protect surrounding flooring and surfaces. In most cases, no damage occurs to adjacent areas. If existing surfaces are affected as part of structural work, we discuss this with you in advance.
