Functional, Safe, and Built to Complement Your Home

Concrete steps are one of the most structurally demanding projects in residential concrete work. They need to be level, properly pitched for drainage, and built with the right riser-to-tread ratio for safe, comfortable use. Pro Concrete Services has extensive experience replacing deteriorating steps and building new entrance features that look great and last for decades.

Whether you have front porch steps that are crumbling, side entrance steps that have heaved, or you need new steps built as part of a patio project, we handle it all.

What’s Included in Every Steps Project

  • Removal of existing steps: if replacing existing structure
  • Proper riser and tread dimensions: built to code for safe, comfortable use
  • Reinforcement: rebar used throughout for structural integrity
  • Drainage pitch: slight forward slope on treads to prevent water pooling and ice formation
  • Finish options: broom finish standard, stamped available
  • Full cleanup

How Your Steps Get Built

Why Replace or Build New Concrete Steps

  • Safety — Crumbling or uneven steps are a liability. New concrete eliminates trip hazards
  • Curb appeal — Deteriorating steps are one of the first things visitors notice. New steps transform your entrance
  • Structural integrity — Properly built steps won’t heave, crack, or settle like poorly constructed ones
  • Fast project — Most step replacements completed in 1 to 2 days

What is the standard riser height for concrete steps?

The standard residential riser height is 7 to 7.5 inches with a tread depth of 11 to 12 inches. This ratio creates comfortable, natural stepping. We build to code on every project.

How long do concrete steps last?

Properly built concrete steps last 50 years or more. Steps that fail early usually have inadequate reinforcement, poor drainage on the treads, or were poured without a proper footing below the frost line.

Can you replace just the steps without touching the porch?

In most cases yes. We assess the existing structure and surrounding concrete before giving a recommendation. If the porch slab is in good condition, we tie new steps into it cleanly.

Why do concrete steps crack and heave?

The most common cause is water infiltrating beneath the steps and freezing. When water freezes it expands, pushing the concrete up. Proper drainage on the treads, sealed joints, and a footing below the frost line prevent this.

Do concrete steps need reinforcement?

Yes - rebar is used throughout every steps project. Steps carry concentrated load from foot traffic and are more structurally demanding than flat slabs. Unreinforced steps are prone to cracking and failure.
