Job does not include replacing baseboard at this time, we may go with a painted baseboard.

The SCOPE does now include the steps risers and runs.  Figure on a 1/4 round on the sides of the steps.  The landing will stay ceramic tile.  Steps appear to be properly made and dimensioned, by installer Must make sure that finished product is equal in rise and run,  per code the deepest tread can be no more than 3/8" greater than the shallowest, The tallest riser can be no more than 3/8" higher than the shortest, and  nosing is required on the steps, 3/4 to 1-1/4".   Shim and adjust as needed.

Underlayment is plywood on wood joist, will be screwed down by others.    Basement is drywall ceiling so inaccessible for shimming.
