Footing in stable ground
Steps start on a real footing set into steady subgrade, never bare Blackland clay, so the wet-dry swings that drive heave around here can't lift them or tip them away from the house.
Proof
A job we'd put our name on
Entry steps that match the house, with even risers built to code and footings seated in stable ground so Frisco's expansive clay can't heave them off the porch, then joined 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 start on a real footing set into steady subgrade, never bare Blackland clay, so the wet-dry swings that drive heave around here can't lift them or tip them away from the house.
Riser heights hold uniform and within code, so the climb feels right and stays safe to take.
Steel cast into the pour keeps the steps holding their edges and corners through year after year of soil movement.
A broom or textured surface holds traction in the rain, and we can add extra grit anywhere it is warranted.
The new steps are knit neatly 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 in stable ground.
Steps are normally quoted as a set rather than by the square foot, driven by the riser count, the footing work, and how the run meets the house. Most sets open somewhere around $300 to $500 per step. The firm number comes after we have stood at the entry and measured it.
Usually a footing dropped onto raw clay that heaves and pulls back with the rains and droughts, edging the steps off the house a little at a time. We reseat the new footing in steady subgrade so the ground can't drag it along again.
Risers stay even and within local code so each tread meets your foot the same way, since an odd step is both jarring and a fall waiting to happen, all the more when it is wet.
It rides on the damage. Light surface flaking can sometimes be patched, but steps that have tipped on heaving clay or cracked through a riser have generally reached the end of repair and call for a rebuild. We give you a straight read on which way yours go.
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 your access and safety needs.
Stay off the new steps for a few days while the concrete keeps curing. We hand you the exact timeline for your set before we pour, with the week's heat folded in.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
