Tall entries and terraced yards are normal on Keller lots, and both put stairs to work every day. We form flights with risers that match to the eye and the foot, set on footings carried past the surface clay, so the steps still meet the porch square years after the pour.
Credibility comes from how it's built, not from promises. Here's the order of operations on every concrete steps & stairs job.
The top layer of soil here swells and shrinks with the seasons, so step footings get carried down to steadier ground. A flight floating on the surface foot of clay is a flight that slowly walks away from the porch.
Rise and tread get laid out so every step in the flight matches, inside the ranges building codes expect, because one odd riser is the step that catches a toe in the dark.
Forms are braced to hold true lines, steel runs through the flight, and wherever the stairs meet a porch, stoop, or walk we detail the connection so the pieces work together instead of prying apart.
Treads take a broom or seeded texture for footing in the rain, and nosings get eased so the edges shed wear instead of chipping at the corner.
Stairs concentrate loads on narrow sections, so traffic stays off until the concrete has real strength. The dates come in writing on pour day, adjusted for the week's weather.
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 footings below the movement.
Step work generally starts around $300 to $500 per step in this market, moving with flight height, width, footing depth, demolition of an old set, and the finish. Because stairs are so site-specific, we set the price after seeing the entry, not from a phone description we would have to hedge on.
Once a flight has rotated or dropped, the cause is nearly always a footing that never reached past the seasonal soil movement, and lifting or patching leaves that cause in place. The durable fix is a rebuild on footings carried to steadier ground, and we will tell you plainly if your set is the rare case where less will do.
Yes. We coordinate dimensions and elevations to the existing masonry, form the flight to receive veneer where a mason is finishing the faces, or finish the concrete itself to sit comfortably against the stone. The goal is steps that look born with the house, not bolted on.
Consistency more than anything: risers within a small tolerance of each other, treads deep enough for a full foot, texture for wet weather, and light where the flight needs it. We build to those code-conscious dimensions and flag anything about the existing entry, like a needed handrail, while we are there.
They are. Landscape flights follow the grade, so they need footings at each run, drainage handled at the landings, and a layout that keeps every riser matched even as the hillside changes pitch. It is the kind of stair work big Keller lots generate and small pads never teach.
Light foot traffic returns first, usually within days, with full use following as the concrete gains strength. We put the specific dates in writing for your pour, since a hot week and a mild week cure differently.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
