Entry steps that stay put and feel the same underfoot every time. Footed for the actual ground at your entry, whether that means setting into shallow limestone or anchoring on conditioned clay, with even risers and a clean join back to the house.
Credibility comes from how it's built, not from promises. Here's the order of operations on every concrete steps & stairs job.
An entry in Leander can sit on a caliche layer a few inches down or on deeper clay depending on where in town and how the lot was graded. We check before we dig so the footing is designed for what is actually there, not for what we assumed.
Where rock or caliche is reachable we key the footing into it for solid, settled bearing. On lots with deeper clay we moisture-condition the soil and compact it so the shrink-swell cycle cannot walk the steps away from the foundation across wet and dry seasons.
We set riser heights to a consistent dimension and keep them inside local code. Steps that vary even a little underfoot are where people misread the last riser and stumble, and that risk goes up on a wet entry.
Steel through the pour knits the edges and step noses together so the concrete does not chip away at the corners as the ground around the entry works with the seasons.
We tie the new work into the existing porch, slab, or walkway so the finished steps read as part of the house, not as a patch poured alongside it.
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 start with the ground at the entry, not an assumption.
Steps are priced per set rather than per square foot, based on riser count, the footing the entry calls for, and how the run meets the house. Rock at the entry can mean cutting into limestone or caliche; a clay-side entry calls for a conditioned, compacted base. A typical set starts around $300 to $500 per step. We arrive at a firm number after walking the entry, not before.
On rock-side lots the footing may never have reached solid bearing and rocks loose over time. On clay-side lots the soil swells and contracts under a shallow footing and walks it off the house across seasons. The fix in both cases starts underground: footing the steps in material that will not shift.
We hold risers to a consistent height and within local code so every tread meets your foot at the same point. Variable risers are a trip waiting to happen, and a wet entry after a quick storm makes it worse.
Surface spalling and small chips can sometimes be patched, but steps that have moved off their footing, cracked through the risers, or separated from the house usually call for a full rebuild on a proper base. We will tell you plainly which situation you have.
Yes. We pour and finish the steps and cast the anchor sleeves for a railing in place, then coordinate the railing install so the stairs meet your access and safety requirements.
Give the concrete a few days to gain strength before regular foot traffic, and a bit longer for a summer pour on an exposed site that needs to cure rather than dry out fast. We walk you through the timeline for your specific pour before the job starts.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
