Treads, Risers and Nosing
An Athens stair scope should note treads, risers and nosings separately. Assess the full assembly where the flight meets each landing.

View Athens stair samples alongside the staircase with the hall flooring. Before the components are ordered, check species and sheen.
Athens stairs need moving parts assessed before covering. List support repairs and fastening appropriate for the chosen stair system.
Save Athens stair installation terms for the year of coverage. Keep component specifications and coating directions with the proposal.



If the home is near the older village streets, bring a photo that shows the retained woodwork in a Lower Village entrance. Specify the tread depth and riser height on every step. Measure the finished floor at both landings. Before you choose tread thickness, compare the measurements.
At the visit near the Lower Village Historic District, discuss a doorway in a Brick Row inside and how the rooms connect. Show how the posts and casing meet the current treads. Inspect the visible ends for the right return. Agree where the new finish will end.
A photo from the entrance near the Brick Row Historic District can show the crew the entrance facing Route 385. Note 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 old trim beside the river-facing room when planning the Athens visit. Assess 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 Hudson River waterfront can show the crew the meeting of an older hall and a later addition. 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 site conditions.
Locate the moving connection first. Measure which fasteners or supports can be reached. Separate any necessary repair from surface fitting.
A return finishes an exposed tread end. Measure its edge against adjacent trim and nosing. Verify which side needs the finished piece.
Look at both surfaces in your room lighting. Measure the stair sample under its intended finish. Set out how the riser meets the edge and trim.
