Staircase Rebuild Kelowna: This Old Staircase Had One Season Left in It. Here’s What We Built to Replace It.

Byjay ilkiw

Every backyard has that one feature nobody wants to talk about. For this Kelowna homeowner, it was the stairs off the back of the house — worn down, wobbly in places, and clearly on borrowed time. Instead of a quick patch job, we used the opportunity to tear down and do a full staircase rebuild it properly and add something the yard never had: a concrete patio to go with it. Here’s how the project came together.

Built with pressure treated framing and finished with composite deck boards, the new staircase was designed to hold up to Okanagan winters and summers alike, while the new concrete patio gives the homeowners a clean, upgraded space to actually use.

Design & Function

The rebuild was designed to solve two problems at once: a staircase that had reached the end of its life, and a backyard that didn’t have a real patio space to use. Pairing pressure treated framing with composite decking means the staircase will hold up far longer than a standard wood build, while the new concrete patio gives the homeowners a clean, functional space right off the house.

  • Low-maintenance materials built for BC weather

Materials Used

  • Composite decking for stairs
  • Pressure-treated framing
  • Reinforced concrete patio slab
  • Gravel base for drainage and stability
  • Exterior-rated fasteners and hardware

Built for Kelowna weather conditions, including freeze/thaw cycles and heavy summer use.

Composite deck boards don’t warp, splinter, or need regular staining like traditional wood decking. They hold up better to sun and moisture over time, which makes them a low-maintenance option for Okanagan weather.

From breaking ground to the final brick it took us about a week. Most projects are under a month it just depends on the size and scope of work!

Some projects may require permits depending on height and location. We can help guide you through what’s needed for your specific project.

Concrete patio costs in Kelowna typically range based on size, site conditions, and finish (broom finish vs. stamped or exposed aggregate). Factors like access to the site, excavation needs, drainage, and reinforcement all affect the final price. Because every yard is different, we always do a site visit before providing a firm quote, but we’re happy to give you a ballpark based on your project details.
