Before installing the new riser and tread pieces, sand the existing wooden stair treads with 80-grit sandpaper to rough up the surface. This creates a better bonding surface for the adhesive and helps remove any paint drips. Thoroughly vacuum all dust and debris from the stairs to ensure a clean surface.
