Treads, Risers and Nosing
Identify treads and risers included in the estimate. Photograph both sides of the opening. Ask which rooms can remain in use.

Check whether the rail and existing existing trim can stay. Photograph both sides of the opening. Ask which spaces can also remain in use.
Measure the landing levels before choosing nose thickness. Photograph both sides of the opening. Ask which rooms can remain in use.
Keep stair work and adjacent floor work clear in the written quote. Review product and labor terms separately. Save the product information and labor terms.



Show the attachment points during the estimate. We can identify how the retained rail meets the proposed work.
The landing height affects how the new tread and the hall floor meet. Review both levels before selecting material.
Samples should be tested on both wood surfaces. Different species or repairs can take the same color differently.
Inspect its depth, edges and support. Wear limited to the surface can call for a different approach than a loose or split piece.
Discuss who needs access before setting the schedule. Some stages require keeping people away from the work area.
Check how the tread end and nose meet the stringer or trim. Choose the return detail as part of the proposal.
Include a side view and pictures of both landings. Show damaged edges, rail attachments and any floor being changed.
Yes, if the scope accounts for where the surfaces meet. Measure the connection before deciding which work goes first.
