Greg Vanden Berge
Born, raised and still living in Southern California, United States of America. I don't know if I would consider myself to be another typical high school dropout, but in the 11th grade I took and passed a high school equivalency test that allowed me to leave school one year early. From then on it was the school of hard knocks and when I finally figured out this wasn't going to work, became a student of life. I have over 35 years of experience building, remodeling and repairing apartments, condominiums, residential homes and commercial as well as industrial properties. My interests are history, psychology, business, construction, gardening and thoroughly enjoy sharing the things I've learned with anyone willing to listen. There is nothing better than spending time with friends and family having a wonderful meal, a few beers and intelligent conversation.

Stair Parts
This illustration should give you a general idea about what parts of the stairs go where and what they're called. If you need more information about certain parts of a stairway, then feel free to visit our online glossary.

Measuring The Stairway
Rise
This is the overall vertical measurement of the stairway. The rise will be the measurement in between floors. This would be the vertical distance (up and down) from the bottom floor to the top floor.
In order to make things as simple as possible, we're going to use 7 1/2 inch risers in every example, of this book.
Riser
This is the vertical distance in between each tread or step. If the overall rise measurement of our stairway is 105 inches and we know we're going to use 14 risers, then we simply divide 14 into 105, to find out the height of each individual riser.
14 divided into 105 inches provides us with a 7 1/2 inch riser. This is one of the measurements we will use on our framing square, when laying out our stair stringer, however your riser measurement could be different.
Run
This is the overall horizontal measurement of the stairs with out the landing. Most of the time the individual stair step or tread measurement will determine the run.
For example: If a 10 inch wide tread along with the individual riser measurement, created the perfect step then we’ll use it to figure out the length or run of the stairway. Instead of taking an overall horizontal measurement and dividing it by the amount of treads (like we did with the overall rise), we're going to take the individual tread measurement and multiply it by the amount of steps required to build the stairs, to figure out the overall length or run of the stairway.
Tread
This is the individual horizontal distance and width that will represent each step on the stairway. The most common stair tread width used in
