Step 4 · Record, Label, and Document Variations

This final step is what ensures The Oak Valley Difference. In your notebook, create a clear record for each step (e.g., 'Step 1: 34" W x 10.5" D'). Double-check your work. It's absolutely vital to note any step that has a unique measurement, as this is the key to a safe, secure, and gap-free installation. Use a small piece of masking tape to label any non-standard steps right on the staircase. When ordering custom treads, providing photos of each step—especially the unique ones—is the best way to guarantee a flawless, custom-made fit that will elevate your staircase and provide peace of mind for years to come.
