Although 10 feet is a common estimate for a storey (may also be spelled story) height, every building is unique and storey heights can vary widely.

A storey describes the distance between two levels of a structure and can vary depending on the building, it's function, etc. Most homes have story heights of 9-10 feet. Commercial buildings, such as office buildings or retail stores, can have storey heights ranging from 10-15 feet or more. Big-box stores, such as Walmart or Home Depot, have storey heights of 20-25 feet.

The best way to estimate a storey height is to measure the height from floor to ceiling and then add 12 to 15 inches for a residence or 2 to 3 feet for commercial space. An alternative way to measure a storey height is to measure the distance between stair landings or windows of the same size on different floors.
