Concrete Steps & Stairs

Why Your Steps Matter

Your front steps are the first thing guests see when they visit. They set the tone for your entire property. Cracked, uneven, or crumbling steps send the wrong message. They make your home look neglected and reduce curb appeal. More importantly, damaged steps create serious safety hazards.

Here in Hallandale Beach, your concrete steps take a beating. Salt air, heavy rain, and constant sun exposure cause wear and tear. Settling soil can make steps shift and crack. Tree roots push up from below. All of this means your steps need to be built right from the start.

We specialize in building concrete steps that last. Whether you need new front porch steps, side entrance stairs, or a full outdoor staircase, our team handles every detail. We focus on proper footing, correct slope, and solid construction that won't settle or crack.

Our Step Construction Process

Building concrete steps is more complex than pouring a flat slab. Each step needs precise measurements for rise and run. The dimensions have to meet building codes for safety. The footing must go deep enough to prevent settling. We handle all of these technical requirements.

First, we excavate and prepare the area. We dig down to solid soil and create a proper base. Then we build forms to the exact dimensions. We add rebar reinforcement to prevent cracking. The concrete pour happens all at once to avoid weak joints. Finally, we finish the surface with your choice of texture.

Here's what makes our concrete steps stand out:

• Code-compliant rise and run measurements
• Deep footings that won't settle or shift
• Steel reinforcement for maximum strength
• Proper drainage to prevent water damage
• Non-slip surface textures for safety
• Clean, professional edges and corners

Types of Steps We Build

Front porch steps are our most common project. These steps connect your porch to the ground level. They need to be wide enough for comfortable access and sturdy enough for daily use. We can match the style to your home's architecture, whether that's traditional, modern, or somewhere in between.

We also build side entrance steps, basement stairs, garage access steps, and pool deck stairs. Each type has unique requirements. Pool stairs need extra attention to slip resistance. Basement stairs often need railings integrated into the design. We adapt our approach to fit your specific situation.

For properties with elevation changes, we build full staircases with multiple flights and landings. These larger projects require careful planning for water runoff and structural support. We've handled everything from simple three-step entry ways to complex multi-level outdoor staircases.

Safety and Building Codes

Building codes exist for good reason. They ensure steps are safe to use. Step height, depth, and width all have minimum and maximum measurements. Handrails are required in certain situations. The surface needs adequate traction. We know these codes inside and out.

DIY concrete steps often fail code inspections. The rise might be inconsistent between steps. The run might be too shallow. The footing might not go deep enough. These mistakes create liability issues and can be expensive to fix. Professional installation gets it right the first time.

We pull the necessary permits and arrange inspections when required. Your steps will pass code review without issues. This protects you legally and ensures your family's safety. It also maintains your home's value since proper permits are part of your property records.
