Originally these stairs were carpeted with faux maple reveals on the left. The carpet, tack strip, and spindles were removed.

Now that the tread level has been padded we can move onto padding out the rough riser to accommodate a finished riser plate.

The riser plate is cut so that it will over lap the construction tread for a proper finished look when the tread is installed. These treads were glued, screwed and plugged in place.
