Treads, Risers and Nosing
Identify treads and risers included in the estimate. Let the estimate account for the way you use the space. Discuss the entry route ahead of materials are ordered.

Check whether the rail and existing trim can stay. Discuss the detail at your Emerson Hill estimate. Photograph both sides of the opening.
Measure the landing levels ahead of choosing nose thickness. Confirm the project area before scheduling a visit. The site visit can also establish which trim stays.
Keep stair work and adjacent floor work clear in the written quote. Describe what you intend to retain in the room. Set aside a photograph of the old joint.



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 stain tested along the shaded wall 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.
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.
Samples should be tested on both wood surfaces. Different species or repairs can take the same color differently.
