Treads, Risers and Nosing
An Andes stair scope should locate treads, risers and nosings separately. Check the full assembly where the flight meets each landing.

View Andes tread color trials beside retained landings and rails. Review profiles, species and finish under the staircase’s lighting.
Andes stairs need moving parts assessed ahead of covering. Define support repairs and fastening suitable for the chosen stair system.
Save Andes stair installation terms for the year of coverage. Keep component specifications and coating directions with your estimate.



Start with a photo of old door casing beside the main room at the Andes property. Record the tread depth and riser height on every step. Check the finished floor at both landings. Compare the measurements before choosing tread thickness.
At the visit near the Route 28 hamlet, discuss the entrance off Main Street and how the rooms connect. Show how the posts and casing meet the current treads. Measure the visible ends for the right return. Agree where the new finish will end.
At the visit near the Andes Hamlet Historic District, discuss the drop from a mudroom to an older hall and how the rooms connect. Identify whether the flight is the only route upstairs. Discuss when the household can use it. Plan where components can be carried and staged.
Make a note about the opening into a later wing when planning the Andes visit. Compare the level of both floors with the old tread profile. Include the new nosing in the measurement. Check how the last step will meet the landing.
Make a note about delivery access from a rural driveway when planning the Andes visit. View the trial beside the hall floor and the rail. Move it to the top and the bottom of the flight. Approve the wood and sheen in both light conditions.
Locate the moving connection first. Check which fasteners or supports can be reached. Separate any necessary repair from surface fitting.
A return finishes an exposed tread end. Measure the edge against nearby trim and nosing. Confirm which side needs the finished piece.
Compare both surfaces in the room lighting. Check the stair sample under its intended finish. Specify how the riser meets the edge and trim.
