Step 5 · Measure and Cut Hardwood Treads and Risers
Measure the length of each stair tread from wall to wall or from nosing to nosing if applicable. Measure the height of each riser. Use these measurements to cut your hardwood planks. For treads, you may need to join multiple boards or use a wider plank. Ensure your cuts are straight and accurate. If your stairs have a bullnose or specific nosing profile, account for this in your measurements and cuts.
