Steps that stay true on Tallahassee's red clay: even risers, structural fiber and mesh reinforcement, a junction that stays locked to the house, and a tread that holds your footing when the afternoon storm sweeps in.
Credibility comes from how it's built, not from promises. Here's the order of operations on every concrete steps & stairs job.
Steps rest on a proper footing seated on a base made for Leon County's red clay, so they neither sink nor walk off the house as that ground swells and contracts year after year.
Riser heights are held uniform and to code so each step rises the same, easy and safe underfoot.
We tie the pour together with structural fiber and welded wire mesh so the steps hold their edges and corners while the clay beneath cycles through wet and dry, the customary Panhandle build for no-freeze ground in place of a heavy rebar grid.
A broom or textured tread keeps your footing through Tallahassee's regular rain and damp mornings, and we add extra grit anywhere the entry needs it.
The new steps meet the existing porch, slab, or walkway cleanly so the whole entry presents as a single piece.
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 the steps on a stable base.
Steps usually price by the set rather than the square foot, governed by the riser count, the footing and base work, and how the run meets the house. For an opening band, a typical set tends to fall around $300 to $500 per step. We give you a firm number once we've seen the entry.
Usually the footing was laid on red clay that never got properly prepped, so it sank as the soil swelled and shrank and worked the steps off the house over the years. We seat footings on a base made to stay locked in and reinforce the pour so it holds as one.
We keep risers uniform and to local code so every step meets your foot the same. Mismatched risers are uncomfortable and a trip hazard both, and that hazard sharpens once the steps go slick with Panhandle rain.
It depends on the damage. Minor surface chips and spalling can sometimes take a patch, but steps that have sunk or peeled off the house usually point to a base fault and warrant a rebuild. We give you an honest read on which one you've got.
We form and finish the steps and cast in anchor points for railings, then line up the railing install so the entry satisfies your access and safety needs.
Light use generally holds off a few days while the concrete gains strength, and heavy Panhandle humidity can lengthen that some. We give you the dates tied to your particular pour before we start.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
