Step 1 · Inspect Existing Stair Structure
Begin by carefully inspecting the existing outdoor stairs. Look for any signs of rot, structural damage, loose railings, or uneven surfaces on the current treads. Note the material of the existing treads (e.g., wood, concrete, composite) and how they are attached. This initial assessment will inform the measurement process and highlight any potential issues that need to be addressed before installing new treads.
