With the post firmly set in concrete, re-measure the handrail height from the front edge of the top stair tread to the top of the post. Adjust as needed to achieve the target height of 37 inches along the handrail's path. Position a 2x4 handrail board against the installed post and the house at the desired angle. Use a cordless drill to secure the handrail board to both the post and the house with deck screws. Ensure all connections are tight and stable.
