Step 2 · Measure Your Individual Stair Treads

With the landing measured, let's move to the stairs themselves. This part is straightforward. For each step, measure the width from side-to-side and the depth from the back (riser) to the front edge (nosing). Even if your steps look identical, it's a great pro-tip to measure each one and number them. This accounts for any slight variations and is a hallmark of a truly custom-made-to-fit project. For your staircase, you'll be measuring for a 35 1/4" width on each tread.
