Footing on stable ground
Steps start on a real footing seated in firm subgrade, never raw clay and never loose sandy fill, so the conditions that move our soil cannot lift or tip them off the house.
Proof
A job we'd put our name on
A set of stairs that suits the house, with uniform risers held to code and footings dropped into ground we have checked for stability, so neither loose sandy fill nor swelling prairie clay can work them away from the porch, all tied in clean.
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 a real footing seated in firm subgrade, never raw clay and never loose sandy fill, so the conditions that move our soil cannot lift or tip them off the house.
Each riser comes out the same height and inside code, so climbing the steps feels natural and stays safe.
Steel in the pour lets the steps hold their edges and corners through season after season of ground movement.
A broomed or textured tread holds your footing in wet weather, and we can press in added grit on any step that needs it.
The fresh steps are stitched cleanly into the porch, slab, or walkway already there.
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 footing on stable ground.
Steps tend to be quoted by the set instead of by the square foot, driven by the riser count, the footing work, and the way they join the house. A common set begins somewhere near $300 to $500 for each step as a starting point. You get a firm figure after we have had a look at the entry.
Usually a footing set on ground that was never made stable, raw clay that swells and shrinks with the rains and droughts, or loose fill that settles, either of which tips the steps off the house over time. We seat footings in firm subgrade so the soil cannot carry them along.
We hold the risers consistent and inside local code so each step greets your foot the same, because uneven risers feel off and turn into a trip hazard, all the more when they are wet.
That hinges on how bad the damage runs. A bit of surface spalling can occasionally be patched, while steps that have leaned on moving ground or split clean through the risers generally need a rebuild. We will be honest with you about which case yours is.
We pour and finish the steps and cast in anchor points for the railing, then line up the railing install so the finished entry meets the access and safety you need.
Plan on holding foot traffic for a few days while the concrete firms up. We hand you the precise timeline for your pour before any work starts, with the week's heat factored in.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
