[ Risers / kickboard ]
You always need an extra riser against the numbers of your steps.
For example, this set of staircase has only 4 steps. However, do not forget that you will need an extra riser for top of the step.
If you are going to refacing this stairs, you will need 4 stair treads & 5 risers.
