Step 4 · Step 4: Record Everything & Note Variations

As you measure the width and depth of each tread, write down the dimensions in your notebook, numbering them from the bottom step to the top. It's very common for steps in a home to have slight differences! If you find a step with unique measurements, use a small piece of masking tape to label it with its corresponding number. When ordering custom-made treads, providing these precise, individual measurements—and even a quick photo of each step—ensures we can craft a product that fits your staircase perfectly, giving you peace of mind and a beautiful, DIY-friendly result.
