Stairs and guardrails built and renovated — solid, safe and well finished.
At Construction Hibou, a well-built staircase is both a centrepiece and a safety element, across Greater Montreal.
A staircase and its guardrails must meet precise standards — riser height, baluster spacing, railing strength — while fitting the style of the home. As an RBQ-licensed general contractor, we build and renovate stairs and railings to Code, as part of your residential renovation projects.
Whether we're building a brand-new staircase or refreshing an existing one, the priorities stay the same: a structure that feels rock-solid, a railing you can lean on with confidence, and finishes that match the rest of the home. The result is a piece that's safe to use and pleasant to look at every day.

For a staircase, building new versus refacing the existing changes everything. Here's what moves the budget:
• Building or renovating — refacing an existing staircase usually costs less than building a new one.
• The materials — wood, metal or a combination of the two don't carry the same price.
• The shape of the staircase — a straight staircase is simpler than a turning one or one with a landing.
• The guardrail — the type of railing and balusters affects the budget.
Every project is quoted after a free consultation.
Custom treads and balusters are fabricated before anything gets installed. Here's what affects the timeline:
• Building or renovating — renovating an existing staircase is usually faster than building a new one.
• The complexity — a turning staircase or one with a landing takes more fabrication.
• Custom materials — wood or metal elements made to measure have a production lead time.
• Finishing — stain and varnish need drying time.
We give you a realistic schedule at the design stage and keep you informed through to the end.
