Painted Riser For Safety

 
Painting the edge of the riser and part of the tread is a excellent idea. Sometimes when people can't see to good the concrete step is hard to notice. This could cause a safety hazard which in turn could cause someone to trip.

Make sure that the paint you use is not a glossy paint. The glossy paint when wet is real slippery. Try to use a flat paint with some sort of rough texture pattern as applied.

A special note please remember to check with your local building department for their interpretation of the building code.
