Building Stairs (For Pros by Pros) Paperback – February 1, 2004

Great book! I still had to help my nephew.

great information and good detail

Folks, Taunton has two stair books with the same title. I did not write this one. I wrote the other one. This one is a compilation of Fine Homebuilding magazine articles on building stairs. Mine is far more cohesive and much better ranked. Just thought you ought to know. I'm contacting Amazon to have them rectify this mistake in attribution.

Used old tools, but the concept is great!

Lot's of good tips, they cover just about every stair situation. Taunton Press is the best publisher of books for the professional and amateur alike.

They must work perfectly every time they are used for the life of the house because someone can be horribly injured or worse, including the builder. Not for a DIY project and I was alarmed by what this volume left out. A DIY stairs project would be painting trimming an interior staircase, or tacking down some mats. I do not feel the book is unsafe, just grossly incomplete.Sorry, I have to rate the book at 1 star. Zero wasn't an option.Hire a licensed builder with time in rate.

It more than met my expectations it was the one book i have been looking for 10 years

A great book on stair construction methods. The details are clear and loaded with tips on making stairs work correctly.
