Step 6 · Install Hardwood Risers
Apply a bead of construction adhesive along the back of the hardwood riser where it will meet the existing stair structure. Position the riser against the front of the stair. Ensure it is perfectly vertical (plumb) and flush with the edges of the tread above. Secure the riser by driving finishing nails or screws through the back of the riser into the stair structure. Use a nail gun for efficiency if available. If there's an overhang, ensure it's even.
