Step 1 · Determine Handrail Height and Placement

Measure 34 inches from the nosing of each stair tread. Mark this height on the wall at the top and bottom of the staircase, and at several points in between. Ensure the marks create a consistent, straight line. Verify local building codes for specific height requirements, as they can vary.
