Concrete Steps & Stairs

Safe, Durable Steps Built to Code

Concrete steps take a beating. Rain, foot traffic, temperature swings, and heavy loads all wear on them over time. Cracked, uneven, or crumbling steps are not just ugly. They are a safety hazard and a liability risk. If someone trips on your front steps, you could be responsible.

As a concrete specialist in Evans, GA, we build steps that are designed to last. Every set of steps we pour follows local building codes for riser height, tread depth, and handrail requirements. We also build them with proper reinforcement and drainage so they hold up to years of daily use without cracking or settling.

Whether you need new front entry steps, back porch stairs, or steps connecting different levels of your yard, we handle the entire project from forming and pouring to finishing and sealing. If your existing steps are damaged but the foundation is still solid, we may be able to repair them instead. We will tell you upfront which approach makes the most sense for your situation.

What We Build Into Every Set of Steps

Good concrete steps are more than just blocks of concrete stacked on top of each other. The details matter, and cutting corners leads to problems. Here is what goes into every set of steps we build:

• Compacted gravel base: We start with a stable foundation to prevent the steps from settling or shifting over time.
• Rebar reinforcement: Steel rebar runs through the entire structure and ties into the landing or foundation for maximum strength.
• Code-compliant dimensions: Consistent riser heights of 6 to 7 inches and tread depths of 11 to 12 inches for comfortable, safe access.
• Non-slip finish: We apply a broom finish or textured surface to give your steps traction, even when wet.
• Proper drainage slope: Each tread slopes slightly forward so water runs off instead of pooling on the surface.

If you want a more finished look, we also offer stamped and decorative concrete options for steps. You can match the color and pattern of your patio, walkway, or driveway to create a unified look across your property.

Replacing Old or Damaged Steps

If your current steps are cracking, sinking, or pulling away from the house, it is time for a replacement. Old steps can fail suddenly, especially if the rebar inside has corroded or the base underneath has washed out. We see this often with older homes in the Evans area where the original steps were not built with proper reinforcement.

Replacing steps starts with demolishing the old structure and inspecting the base underneath. If the soil has eroded or compacted, we rebuild the base before pouring new concrete. We also check the connection point where the steps meet the house or porch. This joint is a common failure point and needs to be done right.

For homes that also need walkway or sidewalk work, we often combine the projects to save time and ensure everything connects properly. A new set of steps with a matching walkway completely transforms your entryway.
