Record the first rise from the entry and the last rise into the upper hall separately. Include the rail and painted masonry at the landing when sizing the returns.
Check where the posts attach and show any original trim the homeowner wants to retain. Have the installer explain what can be fitted around the posts. Near Evans Street, note whether the last tread sits directly beside painted masonry and mark the part of the wall that stays exposed.
Add the thickness of the proposed flooring to the upper measurement. Compare the new final rise with the other steps before choosing components.
Look for movement at the connections and determine what supports the tread. Separate repairs to supporting parts from work on the visible surface.
Try the sample beside the existing floor at both landings. View the sheen near the masonry and under the light used at night.
Identify which ends are exposed and how they meet the trim. Approve the sample with the visible ends before materials are cut.
Ask the installer to find the movement and inspect what can be reached below it. Address that connection before relying on a finished surface.
Make a sample of the two finishes together. Check the seam where the riser meets the front edge and side trim.
