Treads, Risers and Nosing
Identify treads and risers included in the estimate. An estimate can identify floor work outside the main space. Keep a record of any prior floor work on the floor.

Check whether the rail and current trim can stay. Raise any access constraints at the estimate. Check which adjacent surfaces are staying.
Measure the landing levels before choosing nose thickness. Discuss the detail at your Elmhurst quote. Review samples in room lighting. Show us the area in daylight.
Keep stair work and adjacent floor work clear in the written quote. Discuss the detail at your Elmhurst estimate. Review product and labor terms separately.



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 an old repair just below the radiator 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.
