Century Stairs is a Waterloo area stair and railing provider with over 25 years experience providing exceptional projects across Southwestern Ontario.

Founded by Tony, John, and Trevor Lesar in 2000, we’ve grown alongside the region’s top custom and production builders by providing consistent quality, flexible solutions, and dependable timelines. Our team is made up of dedicated professionals who share our commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and flexibility.

Our unique steel stringer system allows builders to have solid stair systems early in their production as well as the ability to save days in their schedule by not having to outsource stair and railing finishing. Whether you are looking for a show stopping mono-channel in your new build or to transform carpeted stairs into stunning hardwood centerpieces, our experienced team is here to bring your vision to life—with craftsmanship you can count on and a partnership you can trust.

Our steel team provides safe, solid, and code-compliant temporary stair systems year-round in all weather! This option can be a huge timesaver for homebuilders – no need for their team to be building temporary staircases for each unit. Once the main floor headers are in place, we weld the steel based on accurate floor-to-floor measurements and your chosen flooring materials. Each stringer is securely fastened to the headers or floor joists using screws and construction adhesive, then checked for proper height and level. After the stringers are installed, temporary 2×10″ spruce treads are added, ensuring that any construction wear affects only the temporary materials—not your finished hardwood. When the build is complete, our installation team returns to remove the temporary treads and replace them with beautiful, pre-finished hardwood.

Let’s build something great together. Experience the Century difference—where excellence is built into every step.
