Once all stringers are cut, place them into their designated positions within the stairwell. The bottom of the stringer usually rests on a sill plate or joist, and the top is typically attached to a header or rim joist of the upper floor.

Use appropriate structural screws or nails to securely fasten the stringers at both the top and bottom, creating a robust and safe foundation for the stair treads and risers.
