Check whether the rail and existing trim can stay. Check which adjoining surfaces are staying. Measure the opening with the door in place.
Measure the landing levels ahead of choosing nose thickness. The site visit can also establish which trim stays. Confirm the project area before scheduling a visit.
Keep stair work and adjacent floor work clear in the written quote. Set aside a photograph of the old joint. Describe what you intend to retain in the room.



Start with the treads, risers and retained railing. Take a side view that shows the tread ends and the trim you plan to retain.
Point out a thinner product at the entry in the photos you send. Take a side view that shows the tread ends and the trim you plan to retain.
Ask how the installer will handle the tread profile and landing heights. The stair scope separates replacement parts from the finish and any support work.
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.
Show the attachment points during the estimate. We can identify how the retained rail meets the proposed work.
