Step 3 · Step 3: Custom-Fit Your Treads (If Needed)

Using the measurements from Step 1, mark your new treads for cutting if they need to be sized for your stairs. Depending on the material, a circular saw (with the right blade) or a heavy-duty utility knife will work well. Always refer to the tread manufacturer's instructions for the best cutting method. And remember, safety first! Always wear your safety glasses and hearing protection when using power tools.
