I never really paid attention to that, as most inspectors check a couple of treads standing up with a tape measure. The county I’m building in now, must’ve had some kind of lawsuit. They check every riser, tread, and nosing with tape measures and squares. Interior and exterior.

With so many people don’t understand is, that 7-3/4” is the maximum. It can be 5, 6, 7 inches, etc. as long as they are within 3/8” variance between all of them. At least, that’s my interpretation.

Winders add to the equation, but there’s a minimum depth near the narrow part. I haven’t done one in ages, so I don’t remember.

What I found on the Internet says that the narrow end of the winder has to be 6" and 12" from that narrow end has to be at least 10". I think we are just a tad off.

When we moved in, the stairs were carpeted. We've pulled the carpet, and the missus has started preparing to repaint.
