Step 3 · Measure Total Tread Depth (Including Nosing)

Place the tape measure at the very front edge of the stair tread's nosing. Extend the tape measure straight back along the tread surface until it reaches the riser. This measurement should be the sum of the tread depth (from step 1) and the nosing overhang (from step 2). Record this total depth.
