Exterior stairs
I just had exterior stairs completed (brick and limestone) from street level to parlor (front of house). I feel the contractor did not give me enough step size. These stairs look steep and have small space to step on each step. Going up you have 91/2” to 10” foot space with 9”height. Going down you have 71/2” to 8” foot space. Thread nose overlaps next step by about 2”. Does any one know what dimensions does code require?

Try calling Armand at Petrillo Ion Works 1718 254 0333, they are by far the cheapest

excellent job.
They are the center piece of my duplex.
No way you can price out stairs without knowing the type of (wood, railing, balusters, starting step....)
good luck.
