  1. 0:04–0:08 Measure, Cut, and Install New Risers From How to Install Treads on Stairs with a Mid-Stair Landing, Step 7: Install Risers (if applicable)

    Once the staircase is prepared, the next step involves cutting and installing the new risers. Each riser, which is the vertical board between two treads, needs to be precisely measured for its height and width. The video showcases white risers, which suggests they are either pre-painted plywood or MDF boards. Using a measuring tape and pencil, transfer the dimensions to the new riser material. Cut the pieces using a miter saw or circular saw for straight, clean edges. Apply a generous bead of construction adhesive to the back of each cut riser and firmly press it into place against the vertical face of the step. For added security, the risers can be fastened with a nail gun or hammer and finishing nails. Ensure all risers are flush and level before the adhesive sets.
