Re: Interior stairway riser height
Yes.
But it depends on other things too.
Are ALL risers that height? Or are the bottom and top risers different?
There are ways to do it, but only if the other things fall into play properly.
If the bottom riser is too high, is this with the finished floor installed or not? If the final height of the bottom riser is too high, that's a problem.
If the bottom riser is not too high, and can be higher, then the treads would be 'layered' with plywood to attain the proper riser heights.
Here is one example which, depending on the riser heights, etc., you could install 1/8" plywood on the first tread, 3/16" plywood on the second tread, 1/4" on the third tread, etc., keeping each riser height with variation limits of 3/8" over all and adjacent, while reducing the too high upper riser heights - *IF* the riser heights worked out to allow that type of correction.
I've had a couple of stairs corrected that way, while that did not work on some other stairs.
The answer is: "Depends."
