With the stringers precisely cut, position them in their final location. This typically involves attaching the top of the stringers to a header joist or framing member using structural screws or appropriate hangers. The bottom of the stringers rests on a concrete slab, a foundation wall, or a landing. Use a level and plumb bob or laser level to ensure the stringers are perfectly aligned and spaced evenly. Secure them firmly, as these are the primary structural components of the staircase.
