As a
licensed General Building Contractor in the state of
California, I run into some poorly built stairways, every
once in a while. They stairways can create safety
hazards for anyone using them.
If you're
building a new stairway, you will probably need a building
permit, in most cities. However, if you're replacing a
stairway, you might not need one, but it wouldn't be a bad
idea to check with your local Building and Safety
Department, before starting the project.
Let me
get right to the point, the last thing you want to have
happen to you is build a stairway that creates a safety
problem or needs to be removed and rebuilt, because it
wasn’t built correctly. Your local building and safety
department could have the answers you're looking for.
