Treads, Risers and Nosing
Inspect the existing flight before selecting a replacement tread. Measurements and supporting conditions determine the proposed work.
Inspect the existing flight before selecting a replacement tread. Measurements and supporting conditions determine the proposed work.
Compare wood and finish samples with the floors above and below. Discuss the expected variation where older material is retained.
Record treads, risers, landings and edge details together. A new landing floor can change a stair connection even when the flight stays.
Read the written terms for the agreed stair work. Follow the supplied finish instructions before returning the flight to normal use.



It is useful initial information but not a complete assessment. Dimensions, landings, supporting condition and included components also need review.
Yes. The finished height and edge at the landing affect their connection. Review those surfaces together before ordering.
That depends on its condition and the work needed. An inspection should compare restoration with replacement without assuming either route from appearance alone.
An exact match cannot be assumed. Compare the wood and finish samples and discuss differences caused by age, grain and existing coatings.
Check the written proposal. Treads, risers, trim and landings should each be identified when they are part of the work.
Its source needs assessment before a new surface is fitted. The proposed work should address the relevant condition rather than only its appearance.
Discuss access before scheduling. Installation and finish stages may make the flight unavailable, and the plan should explain those restrictions.
Include the full flight, top and bottom landings and close views of damaged parts. Note any new flooring planned next to the stairs.
