In Kips Bay, check whether the rail and old trim can stay. Review the change in height at the threshold. Set aside pictures for the visit.
By East 33rd Street, measure the landing levels before choosing nose thickness. Review the change in height at the threshold. Show where the new flooring will stop.
Review the written workmanship and manufacturer terms for your Kips Bay project. Ask which work and materials are covered. Mark which trim you plan to keep.



Include the retained rail in your photos and show where the existing work meets the new scope. Discuss the landing and tread profile before choosing the material or finish.
Check building or property access and share any photos of the first and last rises. Let us know which areas need to remain usable while the work is under way.
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.
Check how the tread end and nose meet the stringer or trim. Choose the return detail as part of the proposal.
