FAQ’S
What is required for a stair quote?
In order for us to give you a quote on your custom stair project, you will need to provide us with the following: the rise, run, width, and material you would like to be used in manufacturing your staircase.
What are the maximum and minimum sizes for treads and rises?
The maximum and minimum sizes for treads and risers depend on the state and the type of building the staircase is going to be used in.
For a residential building in New York State, the maximum riser height is 8-1/4” with a minimum tread depth of 9” (not including nosing), along with a minimum width of 36”. Other dimensions to keep in mind when building a staircase for a house in New York State, are the headroom and the vertical rises. New York State requires a minimum of 6’8” of headroom as well as a maximum of 12’ from floor to floor without a landing.
In other states that we serve, residential buildings follow everything that New York State does except the minimum tread depth. In other states, the minimum tread depth must be 10” or more (not including nosing) and the maximum riser height is 7-3/4”.
Commercial buildings require using the International Building Code. The building code requires that stairs have a maximum riser height of 7” and a minimum tread depth of 11” (not including nosing). This code also says that the minimum width a staircase can be is 44” with a minimum headroom of 6’8” in all parts of the stairwell. The vertical rise is also the same as residential, being 12’.
Can you exclude the landing tread?
Landing treads are not attached or glued so you can take them out and discard them if you would like. We include them in the construction as added support for the top of the stringers for shipping reasons.
How far out will the tread be from the riser board?
Nosing is measured at an 1-1/8″ until the tread is 10″, then the nosing drops down to 1″.
Can you build a spiral staircase?
No, we do not specialize in the design and manufacturing of spiral staircases.
What are the common material descriptions used to signify a particular wood species used in constructing your stairs?
Carpet Grade – Our most common and least expensive stair is typically constructed out of #2 grade Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) 4/4 and 5/4 material. This stair is suitable for areas where the finish isn’t important such as cellar stairs, or where the tread and riser will be covered with carpet. #2 SYP allows for tight knots and grain discoloration.
Paint Grade – Paint Grade typically refers to the stringer and riser. We use a D and better Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) that is suitable to be painted. Some people also ask for paint grade SYP tread as well. This material can have some small tight knots and grain discoloration.
Primed – Primed refers, once again, to the stringer and risers where they will be a primed, finger jointed material ready for paint.
Stain Grade – This grading refers to a Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) C and a better product that is for a stain and clear finish application. This is available for treads, risers, and stringers. If you would like a hardwood instead of SYP, we stock Oak, Cherry, Maple, Poplar, and can special order a variety of other species upon request. Hardwood applications can be used for treads, risers, or stringers… whichever configuration your customer desires. Typically, our stain-grade and hardwood materials are sanded to an 80-grit finish. This will require the person finishing the stair to do some light sanding prior to applying the finish.
