Concrete Steps & Stairs

Create a Safe and Welcoming Entrance

Your front steps are the first thing visitors see and use when they arrive at your home. Crumbling, uneven, or outdated steps make a terrible first impression and create real safety hazards. Every time someone uses rickety steps, they risk tripping or falling. Old steps that shift or crack become more dangerous over time, especially during rain when surfaces get slippery.

Concrete steps offer the perfect combination of durability, safety, and style. Unlike wood steps that rot and warp or metal steps that rust and become slippery, concrete steps stay solid and safe for decades. They handle daily foot traffic without wearing down, resist weather damage, and require almost no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. With proper construction and finishing, concrete steps provide reliable traction even when wet.

We build concrete steps and stairs that enhance your home curb appeal while providing safe access for years to come. Whether you need front porch steps, back deck access, or interior basement stairs, our team designs and constructs solutions that fit your space perfectly. You can choose from various finishes including smooth trowel, broom texture for extra grip, or decorative options that complement your home style. We handle everything from planning and permits to final finishing, making the process straightforward and stress-free for you.

Our Step and Stair Construction Process

Building concrete steps requires precision and expertise. Every measurement matters because steps need consistent rise and run for safety and comfort. We follow proven methods to create steps that look great and function perfectly for decades. Here is how we build your concrete steps from start to finish.

Step-by-Step Construction

Site Evaluation and Design: We start by measuring your space and discussing what you need. The height between levels determines how many steps you need. We calculate proper rise (step height) and run (step depth) according to building codes for safety and comfort. You will see a detailed plan showing exactly how your steps will look and function. We explain all options for finishes, railings, and any custom features you want.

Foundation and Base Preparation: Solid steps need a solid foundation. We excavate and prepare a stable base that prevents settling. For ground-level steps, this means proper compaction and base material. For elevated steps connecting to existing structures, we ensure proper attachment points. The foundation work happens first because it determines how well your steps perform long-term.

Forming and Reinforcement: We build precise forms that create the exact step dimensions needed. This is where craftsmanship really matters. Forms must be level, square, and securely braced. We install steel reinforcement (rebar) to strengthen the concrete and prevent cracking. Proper reinforcement placement ensures your steps handle weight and stress without developing structural problems.

Pouring and Finishing: Concrete is placed carefully to avoid voids or weak spots. We work the material into all corners of the forms and vibrate it to remove air pockets. As the concrete sets, we finish the treads (the part you step on) with the texture you chose for safety and appearance. Edges get careful attention to create clean, professional-looking lines. If you want decorative elements, now is when we add them.

Curing and Final Details: We protect your new steps during the critical curing period. This allows the concrete to gain full strength gradually. Forms come off when the concrete is strong enough, revealing your finished steps. We clean everything thoroughly and apply sealer if requested. If you need matching walkways or paths connecting to your steps, we can coordinate those elements for a cohesive look throughout your property.
