I haven't kept up with building codes in a number of years, but believe it was 36" minimum landing at bottom or top of stairs. You need to check out the National Building Code to verify. You can Google this information online,
check for a copy at your local library or make a call to your local building department.

Stair lifts are commonly installed in garages. Many garages are built below the grade of the house and require steps to access the living area. If the garage is fully enclosed an interior stair lift model can be used. If the garage is open (no doors) an outdoor unit may be more suitable in humid areas of the country.
A two way switch is required for staircase wiring. A staircase switch will have two terminals. Connect the line wire with the center terminal. Connect the two ends of a wire with the top two terminals and two ends of a wire with the bottom two terminals. The line wire at the center terminal can now be connected with one terminal of the light bulb or light holder.
Newel posts are used at each end of stair balustrading with spindles or balusters along the length supporting the handrail.
Stair lifts by manufacturers such AmeriGlide are said to be well favored by customers and incredibly easy to install. Electric powered stair lifts are said to be more difficult. However, battery powered stair lifts are easier for installation.
A flight of stairs in it's entirety is a staircase
There are companies dedicated to staircases, such as Stair Plan, which will be happy to help. Alternatively, most interior design companies will be perfectly willing to get involved with a staircase project.
A stair stringer is what holds up the stairs. Usually, a staircase has at least two of these supports to hold it up.
It is one word "staircase" (open flight of stairs, usually with rails).
Stair tread rugs are used to decorate staircase steps. They can also be used for protecting the floor of a staircase from dirt on someone's shoes or damages to the floor such as a burn or a scratch.

The standard staircase can be broken down into three main parts. The stair treads, the part you walk on, the railing, mainly for safety and design, and the balusters, which support the stair cases structure.
The staircase separates metals from non-metals. The elements on the stair case is metalloids, the metals to the left of the stairs are metals and the elements to the right of the stairs are non-metals.
