Building on a Rich History of Staircase Design

For thousands of years, stairs have been one of the oldest structures in architectural history, and were built on job sites by master carpenters who were called on as professional stair builders. They trained for years as apprentices to learn the trade and the specialty skills required to design and build distinctive staircases.

Today, unique and custom staircases have gone from being built on site to being manufactured in an environmentally controlled production facility. While the venue may have changed, the skill and artistic acuity required of the trade remains.

Whether you’re a homeowner, designer, or architect, we’ll work with you every step of the way to achieve the desired staircase design and product.

Functionality of Staircases and Railings

From start to finish, Shipway Stairs ensures optimal functionality with our staircases and railings. Despite any architectural challenges, staircases and railings must move from one floor to the next perfectly, and work ideally within the home floor plan and traffic flow.

Style and Design

Distinct staircases and railings reflect a homeowner's unique personality and create a focal point for the entire home. To ensure our customers achieve a desired outcome, the design process and material selection of staircases and railings revolve around the homeowner’s vision and personality, taking into consideration elements such as:

  • Continuity. We strive to complement the overall theme of the home.
  • Materials. Wood selection is often key with endless texture and grain structure options, for instance, to match hardwood floors.
  • Finishing. We take into consideration the homeowner’s vision of colour scheme and tone, for a picture perfect outcome.
