After the risers are installed, measure the depth and length of each individual stair tread. According to these measurements, cut your new hardwood treads. It's crucial to be accurate, as even small errors can lead to visible gaps. You may need to make slight adjustments to ensure a gap-free fit. A track saw, set at a 5-degree angle as demonstrated, can be particularly useful for making precise, straight cuts.
