Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this staircase calculator? â–¼
Our calculator provides professional-grade estimates based on standard building practices. While it’s highly accurate for most residential projects, we recommend consulting with a professional for complex designs or commercial applications.
What’s the ideal riser height for stairs? â–¼
The ideal riser height is typically between 6-7.5 inches. Building codes often require risers to be no more than 7.75 inches and no less than 4 inches. Our calculator automatically optimizes riser height within these parameters.
How do I measure total rise for my staircase? â–¼
Total rise is the vertical distance from the finished floor at the bottom to the finished floor at the top. Measure from the surface where the stairs will begin to the surface where they will end, ensuring your measurement is perfectly vertical.
Can this calculator handle curved or spiral staircases? â–¼
Yes, our calculator includes options for spiral staircases. However, these designs often require specialized engineering, so we recommend using our estimates as a starting point and consulting with a professional for final plans.
Does the cost estimate include installation? â–¼
The cost estimate includes material costs based on current market prices. Labor costs vary significantly by location and complexity of the project. For an accurate installation quote, please call our experts at 877-796-5799.
