Stair Tread Installation
Step 1 of 5

Step 1 · Measure for a Perfect, Custom Fit
Using a tape measure, carefully check the length and width of every single stair tread. Don't assume they're all the same—older homes especially can have slight variations! Write down the measurements for each step individually. Taking the time to be precise here is what gives you that polished, custom-made to fit result.
For angled stairs, you may need to measure the depth at both the nosing and the riser connection.

General Hazard
Ensure the tape measure is held firmly and parallel to the edges of the tread for accurate readings.
