Footing on a stable base
Steps start on a real footing set on a base built to resist the heave and settlement that expansive Gulf Coast clay causes, so they don't drift away from the house.
Proof
A job we'd put our name on
Steps that stay put on Houston's shifting clay, with even risers, a tie-in that holds, and a surface that grips when it's raining.
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 set on a base built to resist the heave and settlement that expansive Gulf Coast clay causes, so they don't drift away from the house.
Riser heights are kept even and within code so the stairs climb comfortably and safely, the same height every step.
We reinforce the pour so the steps keep their edges and corners as the ground beneath them works through wet and dry spells.
A broom or textured finish keeps footing through Houston's frequent rain, and we can add grit where the entry needs it most.
The new work is joined neatly to the existing porch, slab, or walkway so it reads as one 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 on a stable base.
Concrete steps are usually priced per set rather than per square foot, based on the number of risers, the footing and base work, and how they tie into the house. As a starting range, a typical set lands around $300 to $500 for each step. We give you a firm number after looking at the entry.
Most often the footing sat on clay that wasn't prepped, so the soil swelled and shrank and walked the steps away over the years. We set footings on a base built to stay put through those wet and dry swings.
We hold risers even and within local code so each step feels the same underfoot, since uneven risers are uncomfortable and a trip hazard, all the more when they're slick with rain.
That turns on the damage. Minor surface chips and spalling can sometimes be patched, but steps that have settled or pulled off the house usually trace to a base problem and call for a rebuild. We give you an honest read on which one it is.
We pour and finish the steps and set anchor points for railings, then coordinate the railing install so the entry fits your access and safety needs.
Light use usually holds off a few days while the concrete gains strength, and heavy humidity can stretch that out. We hand you the dates for your specific 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.
