Begin by preparing your wooden staircase, ensuring it is clean and free of any dust, debris, or old adhesive residue. Take a pre-made stair tread and place it on each step to determine the proper fit and alignment. Use a measuring tape to note any necessary cuts for width or depth, accounting for the nose of the stair. It's often beneficial to dry-fit all treads before applying any adhesive to ensure a good layout, identify any custom cuts needed for irregular steps, and confirm the aesthetic arrangement.
