Treads, Risers and Nosing
Assess tread depth and riser height on every step. Specify the nosing shape and landing junction before picking parts for your flight.

View Ashland tread samples next to retained landings and rails. Consider profiles, species and finish under the staircase’s lighting.
Find where an Ashland stair moves ahead of picking a surface treatment. Check visible joints and define your repairs in the estimate.
Save Ashland stair installation terms for a year of coverage. Keep component specifications and coating directions with your proposal.



Start with a photo of the main entrance from Route 23 at the Ashland property. Document the tread depth and riser height on every step. Inspect the finished floor at both landings. Before choosing tread thickness, compare the measurements.
If the home is near the Route 23 corridor, bring a photo that shows the mudroom used after winter walks. Show how the posts and casing meet the current treads. Confirm the visible ends for the right return. Agree where the new finish will end.
A photo from the entrance near the Batavia Kill valley can show the crew a floor over an older cellar near the valley. Mark whether the flight is the only route upstairs. Discuss when the household can use it. Plan where components can be carried and staged.
At the visit near the Ashland hamlet, discuss the sill between an original room and a later addition and how the rooms connect. Inspect 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.
A photo from the entrance near the road toward Windham can show the crew a doorway beside a retained hearth. 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 gloss level in both light conditions.
Locate the moving connection first. Inspect 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 adjacent trim and nosing. Review which side needs the finished piece.
Compare both surfaces in your room lighting. Inspect the stair sample under its intended finish. List how the riser meets the edge and trim.
