Step 4 · Repeat for Remaining Stair Treads

For each remaining stair tread, repeat the process of measuring the length of the base, cutting the shoe molding to size with a miter saw, performing a dry fit to ensure a perfect seam against the tread and riser, and then securing it with brad nails. Continue this process until all stair treads have shoe molding installed.
