Treads, Risers and Nosing
Identify treads and risers included in the estimate. The measurement visit can also establish which trim stays. Review which neighboring floor surfaces are staying.

Check whether the rail and old trim can stay. Describe what you intend to keep in the room. Confirm the point where the new project stops.
Measure the landing levels ahead of choosing nose thickness. Confirm the work area ahead of scheduling a visit. An estimate can identify work outside the main room.
Keep stair project and adjacent floor work clear in the written quote. Discuss how the work will affect daily access. Bring a room sketch to the site visit.



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 side path on a property near Seton Falls Park 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.
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.
