Redoing Stairway - Not Sure Whether to Use Cove Moulding Between Tread and Riser
I am getting ready to replace the treads and risers on my stairs. I noticed that some installations use cove moulding where the tread and riser meet (under the bullnose). When I look at pictures online, I see it installed both ways. My thought is that if I fit everything properly (careful cuts using a jig), I won't technically need it. I kind of like the look without it, but in some installations, I don't mind it. I'm going to stain the treads to match my hardwood and then use white risers. I just wanted to see what the consensus is on this. Thanks!
