Indoor railings are shielded from weather, but seasonal humidity swings from Ottawa’s forced-air heating still call for hardware that won’t loosen over a few winters.
Interior railings and banisters are typically priced by linear foot of run plus any newel post work: hardwood banister refinishing sits toward the lower end, while a full baluster swap to metal, cable or glass infill costs more depending on the material chosen.
Oak, maple and similar species stained to match existing stair treads and trim.
Wrought iron or steel balusters under a wood handrail, a popular update on an older staircase.
Stainless cable strung between wood or metal posts for an open, modern interior look.
Tempered glass panels in place of balusters, common on a floating or open-riser staircase.
We match stain colour and hardware finish to existing trim, not a generic stock rail.
Every interior railing we install meets the required guard height and opening-size rules.
Wood balusters, metal, cable or glass – the same crew installs any of them.
We check whether posts and stringers are sound enough to reuse, or need replacing.
Wood species, stain colour and hardware are matched to existing flooring and millwork.
Balusters and infill are spaced so no gap allows a 100mm sphere through, per Ontario Building Code.
We test every baluster and handrail section for solid fastening before calling the job done.

Guards within a dwelling unit must be a minimum of 900mm high under the Ontario Building Code, measured vertically from the tread nosing.
Often yes, if the handrail and posts are structurally sound – we can swap wood balusters for metal, cable or glass infill without replacing the whole staircase.
Yes, an open-riser or floating staircase still needs a code-compliant guard on any open side once the drop exceeds the code threshold.
A straightforward stain-and-refinish is usually a one- to two-day job; a full baluster replacement takes longer depending on stair length.
