Step 3 · Step 3: Document and Double-Check Everything

In your notebook, create a simple list from top to bottom, recording the width and depth for each step. Don't be surprised if the numbers vary slightly—it's common, especially in older homes! If you find a step with unique dimensions, place a small piece of masking tape on its riser and number it to match your notes. This simple organization provides peace of mind. If you're ordering custom-made treads, taking a quick photo of each unique step with your notes can be incredibly helpful. Finally, take a moment to double-check all your numbers. A few extra seconds here ensures a flawless result you'll be proud of.
