Step 3 · Step 3: Measure the Riser Height
The riser is the vertical surface that connects one stair tread to the next. To measure its height, place your measuring tape on the top surface of a tread and measure vertically up to the top surface of the tread directly above it. While this measurement isn't always required for standard tread installation, it's great information to have for a complete picture of your staircase.
