Description of the mandate
For this project in Montreal , our team had to replace a badly deteriorated exterior staircase and restore the entire front gallery.
The client wanted to improve security, modernize the appearance of the entrance, and use durable materials suitable for outdoor conditions.
We rebuilt the entire staircase, redid the gallery finishes and made the portico under the structure fully functional, while preserving the existing iron railings.
Technical challenges
The old staircase was in an advanced state of deterioration and required a complete reconstruction with longer treads to improve user comfort.
The portico under the gallery also needed repair to make it usable again. Several precise adjustments were required around the brick wall and existing columns.
In addition, we had to deal with different thicknesses of finishes already present on the structure in order to obtain a perfectly aligned and consistent final result without having to replace everything, which required additional time and meticulous work.
Solutions implemented

Complete removal of the old staircase and weakened wood.
Manufacturing of new stringers and steps in treated wood , with more comfortable treads.

Project duration

Final result

The combined use of treated wood and cedar provides warmth and durability, while respecting the character of the facade.
