At your Rego Park visit, decide whether existing risers will stay. Retaining trim can limit the thickness or shape of the new tread.
If stair measurements comes up at your Rego Center address, measure the full run and both landings. Note where the old surface will stay.
Review the hardwood stairs workmanship terms when we write the Rego Park estimate. Note what is covered in the rooms and transitions included.

For an apartment with a fixed stone saddle at the front door near 63rd Drive, bring the building flooring rules and check the door clearance. Retained parts should be clear on the written estimate. Review that detail while the existing surface is still in place.
Changes to the landing can affect the first and last riser. For the Rego Park estimate, include the finished height of every planned layer.
At the Rego Park visit, view samples on the stair in its normal light. Different wood species may need separate samples.
Walk the stair with the crew after the scope is complete. Follow up with the crew about how to review movement, surface finish and transition edges.
Bring up the tread selection when we review the rooms in Rego Park. Match the edge shape to how the stair turns.
New coverings can affect the finished rise at the first or last step. Before the visit, measure the full run and both landings.
Check where the treads meet skirt boards or balusters. In Rego Park, decide whether existing risers will stay before committing to the plan.
