How much do concrete steps cost in Irving?
Steps are usually quoted by the set instead of by the square foot, with the riser count, the footing work, and how the flight meets the structure driving it. As a starting range a set tends to land near $300 to $500 per step. The firm figure follows once we have measured the entry in person.
Why do my old steps pull away from the house?
Usually a footing dropped onto raw clay that swells and draws back with the rains and droughts, tipping the steps off the structure over the years, and that runs worse on the city's lower ground. We reseat the footing in steady subgrade so the moving soil can't drag the flight along with it.
What riser height do you build to?
We keep risers uniform and inside local code so each tread meets your foot the same way, since an odd step is both awkward and a fall waiting to happen, worse once it is wet and worse still where the public climbs it.
Can my steps be repaired, or do they need replacing?
That rides on the damage. A bit of surface flaking can now and then be patched, but steps that have leaned on shifting clay or fractured across a riser have generally run past repair and want a full rebuild. We give you a straight read on which side yours land.
Can you add railings to concrete steps?
We pour and finish the steps and cast anchor points for railings, then coordinate the railing install so the finished entry meets your access and safety needs.
How long before I can use new steps?
Plan on a few days off the new flight while the concrete keeps curing. We give you the exact timeline for your set before we start, with the week's heat worked in.
