Step 2 · Align with Precision: Mark Your Center

Before you begin placing any treads, take a moment to accurately mark the center of each stair step. A pencil or chalk works perfectly for this. This center mark will become your trusted guide, ensuring each tread is placed perfectly straight and evenly across your stairs. Because our treads are custom-made to fit, you'll find that significant trimming isn't typically needed, which simplifies this alignment process even further. This attention to detail is part of The Oak Valley Difference, ensuring your staircase looks its best.
