Step 4 · Document for Distinction: Recording, Labeling, and Double-Checking Your Work

You're almost there! Now, diligently write down both the width and depth measurements for every single step in your notebook. It's truly amazing how often steps can vary in size, even in brand new homes – this is why 'Custom-made to fit' is so important! If you discover any unique sizes, empower yourself by clearly labeling these steps with masking tape and a corresponding number. For those ordering our beautiful custom treads, we highly recommend snapping a photo of each individual step, particularly those with variations. This visual aid provides invaluable clarity for our team. Remember our golden rule for accuracy and peace of mind: 'Always measure twice and write it down once!'
