Footing in stable ground
Steps start on a real footing seated in steady subgrade, never raw Blackland clay, so the wet-dry swings that drive our soil can't lift or lean them off the house the way they did the old set.
On long-settled Arlington lots, entry steps are often the first thing to pull away from the porch. We rebuild them with even, code-built risers on footings set in stable ground so North Texas clay can't tip them loose, then knit them 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 start on a real footing seated in steady subgrade, never raw Blackland clay, so the wet-dry swings that drive our soil can't lift or lean them off the house the way they did the old set.
Riser heights are kept uniform and within code, so the climb feels right and stays safe underfoot.
Steel in the pour lets the steps hold their edges and corners through year after year of soil movement.
A broom or textured surface gives grip in the rain, and we can add extra grit wherever it earns its keep.
The new steps are joined neatly into the existing porch, slab, or walkway so the 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 in stable ground.

A set of steps is normally quoted as a unit rather than by the square foot, driven by the riser count, the footing depth, and how the run meets the house. Figure a starting range near $300 to $500 per step. The firm number comes after we have stood at the entry and measured it.
Almost always a footing that was dropped onto bare clay, which swelled and pulled back across years of wet and dry spells and walked the steps off the porch a fraction at a time. A big tree nearby, pulling moisture from that same soil, tends to hurry the lean. We reseat the new footing in steady subgrade so the ground can't drag the steps along again.
Risers stay uniform and inside local code so each tread meets your foot identically, because an odd step in a flight is both jarring and a fall waiting to happen, all the more so when it is slick.
That hangs on the damage. A bit of surface flaking can occasionally be patched, yet steps that have leaned on moving clay or fractured across a riser have usually reached the end of repair and want a full rebuild. We give you the honest read on which camp yours fall into.
We form, pour, and finish the steps and cast in anchor points for a railing, then line up the railing install so the finished entry clears your access and safety needs.
Plan on a few days off the steps while the concrete keeps hardening. We give you the precise timeline for your set before the pour, nudged for whatever heat the week brings.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
