What clients expect and what professionals need to know
Stair installation builds a new staircase from stringers (cut or pre-formed 2x12 carriages), treads, risers, a starting newel post, balustrade with graspable handrail, and balusters. IRC R311 requires stairs to have a maximum riser height of 7-3/4 inches and minimum tread depth of 10 inches, with a maximum 3/8-inch variance between any two risers in the run. Stair stringers must land on a solid structural surface and the header above must be properly sized to carry the railing post forces.

Common questions from clients looking for Stair Installation services
Maximum riser height: 7-3/4 inches; minimum tread depth: 10 inches; maximum variance between any two risers: 3/8 inch. These dimensions create a comfortable, safe step ratio.
A standard residential staircase runs at 35–40 degrees; steeper stairs save floor space but are less comfortable; shallower stairs are easier to climb but take more horizontal run.
IRC requires 36 inches clear width above the handrail height; 44 inches is required for occupancies where more than 50 people use the stair.
Handrails are required on stairs with 4 or more risers (graspable, 34–38 inches above nosing); guardrails (balusters and top rail) are required at open sides of stairs and open landings over 30 inches above the floor.
Divide the total rise by 7 (desired riser height) to find the number of risers; calculate each riser to fall between 7 and 7-3/4 inches. For 9'4" = 112 inches: 112 ÷ 14 risers = 8 inches per riser (too tall) — use 15 risers for 7.47 inch rise.
