Steps that stay put on Orlando's sandy ground: matched risers, fiber and mesh reinforcement, a tie-in that stays anchored, and a tread that holds your foot when the afternoon storm comes through.
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 an honest footing set on a base built for Central Florida's sand and clay lenses, so they hold position instead of settling or drifting off the house as the seasons turn.
Riser heights are matched and held to code so each step climbs the same, easy and safe underfoot.
We run structural fiber and welded wire mesh through the pour so the steps hold their edges and corners while the sand beneath them swells and shrinks through the wet and dry months, the standard build for no-freeze ground rather than a heavy rebar grid.
A broom or textured tread keeps your footing through Orlando's frequent rain and damp mornings, and we add extra grit wherever the entry needs it.
The new steps meet the existing porch, slab, or walkway cleanly so the whole entry reads as a single 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 the steps on a solid base.
Steps usually price by the set rather than the square foot, driven by the number of risers, the footing and base work, and how the run meets the house. For a starting band, a typical set tends to work out to roughly $300 to $500 a step. We firm the number up once we have had a look at the entry.
Most of the time the footing sat on sandy ground that was never prepped right, so it settled where a clay lens shifted underneath and slowly walked the steps off the house over the years. We seat footings on a base built to stay put and reinforce the pour so the set holds together.
We hold the risers even and within local code so each step meets your foot the same way. Uneven risers are uncomfortable and a trip risk both, and that risk only sharpens once the steps are slick with Orlando rain.
It depends 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 need a rebuild. We give you a straight read on which one you are looking at.
We pour and finish the steps and set anchor points for railings, then coordinate the railing install so the entry suits your access and safety needs.
Light use generally waits a few days while the concrete builds strength, and heavy Orlando humidity can stretch that out a touch. You get the dates worked out for your particular pour before any work begins.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
