We pour footings below the loose backfill, so new steps rest on soil that won't keep sinking.
Risers and treads are laid out evenly and within code, which makes the steps easier on knees and safer in snow.
We leave a slight pitch on every tread so melting snow runs off instead of freezing into a sheet of ice.
The number of steps, the size of the landing, and how much old concrete needs to come out drive most of the price. Adding stone veneer or a larger porch raises it, while a simple rebuild of three builder steps is a modest project. Your Peyton quote lists each piece so nothing is a surprise.
A landing at least four feet deep lets you open a storm door without stepping backward, which matters on icy mornings. It also gives packages a spot to sit out of the way.
Steps with more than a few risers usually need a railing. We plan where the posts will anchor before we pour, so the railing bolts down solidly instead of being drilled in as an afterthought.
Fresh steps look even better with a matching walk from the driveway or stone veneer on the risers. See all of our Peyton concrete projects for more ideas.
We measure the rise to your door, check the gap at the foundation, and talk through landing size and railing needs.
Our crew removes the old steps, digs footings to firm ground, and forms the new steps and landing with steel.
We pour, finish with grip on every tread, and plan the railing base or veneer if you want one.
