Check whether the rail and old trim can stay. Keep a record of any prior project on the floor. Confirm the point where the new work stops.
Measure the landing levels ahead of choosing nose thickness. Discuss the detail at your Eltingville estimate. Ask what the quote covers. Include the room next door.
Keep stair work and adjacent floor work clear in the written quote. Bring a floor plan to the site visit. Confirm the work area ahead of scheduling a 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 route from Richmond Avenue to the side door 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.
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.
The landing height affects how the new tread and the hall floor meet. Review both levels before selecting material.
