Treads, Risers and Nosing
Identify treads and risers included in the estimate. Describe what you intend to leave in place in the room. Discuss the entry route ahead of materials are ordered.

Check whether the rail and existing trim can stay. Measure the opening with the door in place. Check which adjoining surfaces are staying.
Measure the landing levels before choosing nose thickness. Discuss the detail at your Eastchester quote. Note the trim that will stay. Inspect the floor edge first.
Keep stair work and adjacent floor work clear in the written quote. Discuss the detail at your Eastchester estimate. Keep the installer’s care instructions.



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 the worn strip near the front step 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.
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.
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.
