Concrete Stairs Construction

What This Service Involves

Our teams construct exterior stairs sized to uniform riser and tread dimensions that pass building-code inspection. Foundations are designed for the bearing capacity of local soils, with drainage detailing that keeps treads from icing over in winter. Non-slip finishes and cast-in nosings improve traction on high-traffic public stairways. When required, we integrate handrail embeds and footing connections so the railing package installs without retrofitting.

Benefits

Uniform risers and treads that satisfy inspectors; slip-resistant finishes for year-round pedestrian safety; handrail embeds cast in place to avoid drilled retrofits; foundations detailed for saturated hillside soils; long service life under heavy public use

Our Process

1) Confirm elevations, rise-over-run, and code requirements for the flight; 2) Excavate and pour footings sized to the soil bearing; 3) Form stringers, risers, and landings with rail embeds; 4) Place concrete, tool the nosings, and cure before rail installation

What Affects the Cost

Number of risers and total run length; foundation depth driven by slope and soil; railing embeds and finish selection; site access for forming and material delivery; shoring or excavation support on steep grades

Best Time of Year

Dry-season placement is preferred so footings can be excavated in stable soil and finishes cure without rain marring.
