Finished Thornhill basement stairs with closed risers and new oak treads — After

A Thornhill homeowner was mid-way through finishing their basement when the inspector flagged the open-riser pine staircase as non-compliant for a finished occupancy. They needed closed risers and better materials.

The scope

We installed new closed risers, replaced the pine treads with solid oak, and brought the handrail up to Ontario Building Code Section 3.4.6. Scope was $6,200 within our $5,400-$7,000 range.
