Wood Stairs & Landings

Secure Transitions for Your Home and Yard 

Stairs are often the most overlooked part of an outdoor project, but they are also the most critical for safety. In the Lower Mainland, old wood stairs are frequently the first things to rot, as water gets trapped in the joints where the steps meet the frame. A wobbly step or a rotten landing isn’t just an eyesore; it’s a major liability. At Onsite, we specialize in the construction and repair of wood stairs and landings for decks, porches, and sloped yards. 

Whether you need to replace a few rotten steps leading to your front door or you need a complex set of stairs to connect a high-level deck to your backyard, our team provides the precision and structural integrity you need. 

Built for Safety and Durability 

Building exterior stairs is a technical task that requires exact measurements to ensure every step is the same height (the “rise”) and width (the “run”). If the steps are uneven, they become a trip hazard. Our exterior stair builders in Surrey follow a strict protocol: 

• Stringer Strength: We use thick, pressure-treated lumber for the “stringers” (the structural sides of the stairs) to ensure they can handle heavy weight without flexing. 
• Non-Slip Surfaces: We can use textured wood or composite boards to ensure your stairs remain safe even when they are wet from the BC rain. 
• Solid Footings: We never rest wood stairs directly on the dirt. We install concrete pads or blocks to keep the wood away from ground moisture, preventing rot. 
• Code-Compliant Railings: We ensure your handrails are at the correct height and that the “spindles” are spaced safely, protecting children and pets.
