Q: What is the proper rise and run for stairs?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.iccsafe.org/">International Building Code</a> requires individual step risers in a residential staircase to measure between 4 and 7-3/4 inches and the maximum rise of a staircase not to exceed 12 feet between landings. Individual step treads can&rsquo;t be less than 10 inches deep. </p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to build your own patio?

• <div><p>A simple square paver patio is the easiest long-lasting patio to install. With this basic shape, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about curvatures in the design or having to cut pavers to fit. You could also opt for the gravel patio, but as noted, it can be messy and you will have to refill the gravel regularly as shoes and pet paws drag it out of its intended area.</p></div>

Q: Does patio installation require a permit?

• <div><p>In many cases, you will need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a> for your patio, but it depends on the type of patio. Generally speaking, any improvements to your land considered &ldquo;permanent&rdquo; will require a permit. Since a concrete patio is a permanent foundation, you will need a permit. On the other hand, a paver patio or flagstone patio usually sits over gravel and sand, are considered &ldquo;temporary&rdquo; improvements, and rarely require permits. To be safe, you should always ask your building department or your patio company if a permit will be necessary.</p></div>

Q: How thick should concrete be for steps?

• <div><p>Concrete should be at least 4 inches thick for steps. This thickness boosts stability and prevents cracking and deterioration. After you&rsquo;ve built your forms out of wood, fill the void with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-anybody-use-sand-base-they-pour-concrete-driveway.htm">sand or gravel base for concrete</a>. Use an all-purpose concrete mix to form your steps. After pouring your concrete steps, be sure to screed and float the concrete. </p></div>

Q: What do you put under stone steps?

• <div><p>It is essential to have a stable and well-prepared foundation under stone steps. Often, a layer of gravel or crushed stone is placed as a base material. This provides a firm and level surface for the stone steps to rest upon. Additionally, landscape fabric is often laid down before adding the base material to prevent weed growth and help stabilize the foundation. Creating a solid base ensures the stone steps have adequate support, reduces the risk of settling, and enhances the overall durability and longevity of the steps.</p></div>

They charge $400 for homeowners, and about the same for each of my two autos. I would change if I found a better price, which I haven't. I have not had anything other than just paying the premium. The price is the best I found. I have not had any reason to use it. It is a good company.
