Itemized stair nosing replacement example
These are the same quantities and unit prices used by the downloadable app PDF. A cost line can represent measured work, a selected product allowance or a distinct site task. Check which interpretation applies before replacing any amount.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stair survey and protection | 1 job | $125.00 | $125.00 |
| Old nosing removal | 12 each | $18.00 | $216.00 |
| Profile allowance | 42 linear ft. | $24.00 | $1,008.00 |
| Fixing material allowance | 1 job | $105.00 | $105.00 |
| Cut and fit labor | 12 each | $72.00 | $864.00 |
| Edge finishing and clean | 1 job | $165.00 | $165.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | $2,483.00 | ||
How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for old nosing removal is 12 each × $18.00 = $216.00. This line is one part of the complete 6-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $2,483.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Count stair edges, record each width and profile, and check tread thickness and substrate. Selection to verify: Keep nosing profiles and fastening method explicit rather than hiding them in a per-stair rate.
Assumptions and exclusions
Fit a sample edge to confirm projection and appearance before repeating.
Outside the stated scope: No stair structural work, tread replacement or floor refinishing.
Unsound treads or mismatched heights require repair beyond profile replacement. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
