Concrete steps rebuilt so they are level, even and safe
Worn, chipped or uneven steps are a safety problem before they are a looks problem. We break out the old set, build the forms to equal risers and pour a new one that lines up with the walk.
New and replacement concrete steps, formed on a compacted base and tied into the walkway so the whole entry works together.
What we do
Replacement of cracked, spalled or crumbling front steps.
New step sets where a porch or a slope needs them.
Steps tied into a new walkway as a single continuous entry.
Landings and stoops poured to match.
Why the forming matters
Every riser in a set has to be the same height or people trip on it.
We build the forms over a compacted gravel base so nothing settles.
Steel goes in before the pour, because steps carry point loads.
The tread is broomed for grip and the nosing is finished clean.

FAQ
Questions about steps
Can you match new steps to an older house?
We build the new set to the proportions of the house rather than to a standard template. On older Memphis homes that usually means a wider, lower step with a generous landing at the top.
How long before we can use the steps?
Foot traffic is normally fine after about twenty four to forty eight hours depending on the weather. We will tell you the exact timing on the day.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free, every time, with no obligation. Call or text (469) 334-7552 and we will come out and price the job.
What does a concrete driveway cost in Memphis?
It depends on the square footage, the thickness, whether there is an old slab to tear out and haul away, how difficult the access is and which finish you choose. That is why we look at it in person rather than quoting a number over the phone. The estimate is free either way.
Do you reinforce your concrete?
Yes. Rebar and wire mesh go into our pours as standard, tied and chaired off the ground so the steel sits inside the slab where it does its job. Reinforcement is the difference between concrete that cracks and stays put and concrete that cracks and separates.
