Every staircase and railing we install in St. Catharines meets the current Ontario Building Code (Section 9.8)— including 36" minimum guard height for interior stairs, 42" for decks over 1.8 m, 4" sphere rule for baluster spacing, and graspable handrails between 1.25" and 2" in cross-section. We work with the City of St. Catharines Building Department on permitted projects and can pull permits on your behalf when required.
What St. Catharines clients say
“Grant rebuilt our front staircase and added a glass railing on the side deck. Showed up when he said he would, cleaned up every night, and the finish on the treads looks better than the rest of our floors. We get compliments on it from every guest.”
