For one and two family homes the minimum stair tread is 9", the maximum riser height is 8 1/4", the minimum stair width is 36". Handrails are required for stairs that have more than two risers, the minimum height is 34" and the maximum height is 38" measured from the nosing of the stair tread. Handrails and deck guards shall not have any openings between spindles/barristers of 4". Commercial and Multi-family Codes are different.  more
