Measure and Apply Painter's Tape for Alignment

What happens here

For consistent placement of your carpet treads, measure a 4-inch 'wood reveal' from the wall on each stair. This means the distance from the wall to the inside edge of where the carpet tread will be placed should be 4 inches. Once measured, take a continuous piece of painter's tape and run it down the staircase, aligning its inner edge with your 4-inch mark. This tape will act as a visual guide to ensure all your carpet treads are installed in a straight and aligned manner.

Goal: Measure a consistent 4-inch wood reveal from the wall and apply a continuous strip of painter's tape along the staircase to serve as an alignment guide for the carpet treads.
