Where we work in Thorold
We install and repair across downtown Thorold, Thorold South, Confederation Heights, the Brock University-adjacent streets, Allanburg, and Port Robinson. The mix of post-war bungalows and student rental properties means we see a lot of stair-repair work — squeaks, loose treads, broken nosings, worn carpet stairs that owners want recapped in solid hardwood.
Services available in Thorold

What Thorold clients say
“Our basement stairs squeaked so loud nobody could sneak down for a midnight snack. Grant’s team took them apart, fixed the stringers, recapped in oak. Quiet now. Looks great too.”
