I need to replace a set of steps that have a rise of 25" and a width
of 53".

The stairs land on a sloped concrete carport and the slope across the
53" is 2 inches.

How do I approach this?

The current stairs have 3 steps and then a small step to the porch.
Totally unacceptable and dangerous.

Thanks for any advice.

Which one of them explained how to deal with the sloped floor?


I assume you would measure/cut the risers so that the bottom tread
would give the right stair rise where the staircase meets the floor,
and cut the bottom of the stringer to match the slope. If you're
uncertain, cut a stringer pattern from the cheapest stiff material
you can find. Improvise, adapt, and overcome. That, or hire a
professional.
