Footing seated in stable ground
Steps begin on a real footing set into steady subgrade, never bare Blackland clay, so the wet-dry swings that push our soil around can't heave or lean them off the house the way they walked the old set out of line.
On Carrollton's long-settled lots, the entry steps are often the first thing to drift away from the porch. We rebuild them with even, code-built risers on footings seated in stable ground so North Texas clay can't tip them loose, then knit them back in clean.
Credibility comes from how it's built, not from promises. Here's the order of operations on every concrete steps & stairs job.
Steps begin on a real footing set into steady subgrade, never bare Blackland clay, so the wet-dry swings that push our soil around can't heave or lean them off the house the way they walked the old set out of line.
Riser heights stay uniform and inside code, so the climb feels right and stays safe underfoot.
Steel in the pour lets the steps keep their edges and corners through year after year of soil travel.
A broom or textured surface gives grip in the rain, and we can fold in extra grit wherever it earns the spot.
The new steps are joined cleanly into the existing porch, slab, or walkway so the whole entry 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 seated in stable ground.

A set of steps is normally quoted as a unit instead of by the square foot, driven by the riser count, the footing work, and how the run meets the house. As a starting point, count on roughly $300 to $500 per step. The firm number comes once we have stood at the entry and measured it.
Almost always a footing dropped onto raw clay, which swelled and drew back across years of wet and dry spells and edged the steps off the porch a little at a time. We reseat the new footing in steady subgrade so the ground can't drag the steps along with it again.
Risers stay uniform and within local code so each tread meets your foot the same way, since an odd step in a flight is both jarring and a fall waiting to happen, all the more when it is wet.
That rides on the damage. A little surface flaking can now and then be patched, but steps that have leaned on shifting clay or fractured across a riser have generally reached the end of repair and want a full rebuild. We give you the honest read on which side yours fall.
We build and finish the steps and cast anchor points into the pour for a railing, then coordinate the railing install so the finished entry clears the access and safety needs you have.
Count on a few days off the new steps while the concrete keeps curing. We give you the exact timeline for your set before we pour, with the week's heat worked into it.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
