What the work looks like here

Kitchener is not the same job as everywhere else.

Subdivision stairs were built to be covered

Much of the region went up as post-2000 subdivision building, where the staircase was framed in plain stringers and carpeted before the keys changed hands. Those recap in hardwood over the existing structure, with no rebuild and no drywall work, and it tends to be the single change that most alters how the house feels.

The stairs and the floor get decided together

In most houses here the staircase stands in the middle of an open main floor, in full view of the rooms around it. That makes the stair colour part of the flooring decision rather than something to sort out afterwards, and an existing staircase can be recoloured to match almost any floor you choose.

You are living in the house while it happens

These are lived-in family homes, not empty builds. Work runs room by room, with dust control, a walkable route through the house and the site tidied at the end of every day so the place stays usable overnight.

★★★★★

“I'd like to leave a review and a heartfelt recommendation for TriCity Flooring and Stairs. Alexander is a true professional! He repaired two of our staircases and installed laminate flooring in the basement, and we were extremely pleased with his work. Everything was completed with quality, on time, and with great attention to detail. Each stage was discussed clearly in advance, with no unexpected surprises. If you're looking for a reliable, detail-oriented specialist, Alexander is the best choice. We recommend him wholeheartedly!”

“Alexander did an excellent job with our laminate flooring installation. The first time he came by our home, we were impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He was able to make recommendations on flooring and where to purchase from. He was efficient and got the job done within the time promised, kept his work area neat and tidy, and never left any messes behind. What's more, he helped us stay on budget! We would highly recommend Alexander from Tricity to anyone.”

Asked in Kitchener

Answers before you book.

Do you recap stairs, or does the whole staircase come out?

Recapping is usually enough. Hardwood treads and risers go over the existing structure, with new railings, spindles and posts if you want them, which is faster and cheaper than a rebuild and leaves the surrounding drywall alone. A full rebuild is for when the structure itself is wrong, and Alexander will tell you plainly which one your stairs need.

Can you work around us while we are living in the house?

Yes, that is the normal case here. Work is staged room by room so you keep a path through the house, dust control goes up before sanding starts, and the site is tidied at the end of every day. The timeline in your quote assumes the house is occupied.

Do you cover Cambridge and Elmira as well as Kitchener-Waterloo?

Yes, along with the townships around them, all from the Kitchener office. If you are just outside that ring, call and ask before assuming the answer is no.
