Stair Tread Measurement
Step 3 of 3
Step 3 · Step 3: Double-Check for a Perfect Fit
In a notebook, create a simple chart and log the depth and width for each step, numbering them from top to bottom. Don't be surprised if the sizes vary slightly—this is very common in home construction! If you find differences, use a small piece of painter's tape to label each stair with its corresponding number. We always recommend measuring twice to guarantee accuracy; this small step provides great peace of mind and ensures your custom-made treads will fit perfectly. For an extra layer of confidence, snapping a quick photo of each step can be a helpful reference.
Mark each step with masking tape and a number if they differ — no two stairs are exactly alike, especially in older homes.
Measure twice and write it down once to minimize errors.
