Steps that fit the house and stay tied to it, with even risers built to code and footings driven down to the frost line so a hard St. Louis freeze cannot lift them off the porch.
Credibility comes from how it's built, not from promises. Here's the order of operations on every concrete steps & stairs job.
Steps start on real footings carried down near 30 to 36 inches, below the local frost line, so freezing ground cannot push them up and away from the house. We dig to that depth instead of resting steps on shallow fill.
Riser heights are kept uniform and inside code so the climb feels the same on every step and stays safe in the dark or the wet.
Reinforcing bar runs through the steps so the edges and nosings hold their shape through winter after winter of freeze-thaw and the de-icer that gets tracked across them.
A broom or textured finish gives grip in snow, ice, and freezing rain, and we can work in extra grit on a stoop that stays shaded and slick.
The new steps are knit neatly into the existing porch, stoop, or walk so there is no gap for water to find.
Most contractors vanish after the deposit. We pick up the phone, show up when we say, and stand behind the work after the truck leaves. The follow-through is the difference.
A foreman we know runs your job and a vetted crew does the work, managed by Lucky's, one company accountable from the first call to the final walkthrough.
COI and lien waivers on file before we break ground. The documentation that lets commercial clients pay and gives homeowners peace of mind.
Prepped subgrade, reinforced and mixed to spec for the job, and proper curing. We build credibility through the process, not promises. On concrete steps & stairs, that starts with footings to frost depth.
Steps are usually priced per set rather than per square foot, based on the number of risers, how deep the footings go (down to the frost line here), the reinforcement, and how they join the house. A typical set runs roughly $300 to $500 per step as a starting range. The firm figure comes once we have stood at your entry and measured it.
Almost always a footing that never reached below the frost line, so water freezes under it and jacks the steps up a little more each winter until they tilt off the house. We carry footings to frost depth so the freeze has nothing to lift.
We keep risers even and within local code so each step lands the same underfoot, since mismatched risers are both awkward and a trip hazard, and worse once they are iced or salted.
It depends on the damage. Surface spalling from de-icer can sometimes be patched, but a footing that has heaved or risers cracked through usually mean a rebuild. We will tell you straight which one you are looking at.
We pour and finish the steps and set anchor points for railings, then coordinate the railing install so the result meets your access and winter-safety needs.
Give the steps a few days before regular use while the concrete keeps hardening, and add to that when the weather turns cold. We hand you the timeline tied to your pour ahead of the work.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
