Entry steps are the first thing the ground tries to walk loose, and in Denton County that ground swings from heaving clay to stiff chalk. We rebuild them with even, code-built risers on footings seated in stable subgrade and reinforced with steel, then knit them back into the house clean.
Credibility comes from how it's built, not from promises. Here's the order of operations on every concrete steps & stairs job.
Steps begin on a real footing set into steady subgrade, never bare expansive clay, so the wet-dry swings that drive the soil can't heave or lean them off the house. On the rockier west-side ground we seat the footing to bear even on it instead of bridging a hard spot.
Rebar is set into the pour so the steps keep their edges and nosing through season after season of ground that keeps shifting underneath.
We hold the riser heights uniform and inside code, so the flight climbs comfortably and lands safe under each foot.
A broom or textured surface gives footing in the rain and the rare winter ice, and we can add grit where the entry sees the most traffic.
We join the new steps into the existing porch, slab, or walkway so the whole entry reads as one piece of work.
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 Billy'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 seated below the move.
A set of steps is normally quoted as a unit, not by the square foot, driven by the riser count, the footing work, and how the flight meets the house. As a starting point, figure roughly $300 to $500 per step. The firm number lands once we have walked the entry and measured it.
Almost always a footing poured straight on bare clay that swelled and drew back across years of rain and drought and edged the steps off the porch over time. We reseat the new footing in steady subgrade, and on rockier west-county ground we set it to bear even, so the soil can't drag the set along again.
We keep the risers even and within local code so every tread meets your foot the same way, since one odd step in a flight throws people off and invites a stumble, worse once it is wet or iced.
It rides on the damage. Light surface chipping can sometimes be patched and left, but a set that has tipped on shifting clay or split through a riser has usually run out of repair and wants a full rebuild. We give you a straight call on which side yours fall.
We pour and finish the steps and set anchor points for a railing in the wet concrete, then coordinate the railing install so the finished entry meets the access and safety you are after.
Plan on staying off the fresh set for a few days while the concrete keeps gaining strength, longer if a cold snap rolls through. We give you the specific timeline for your steps before the pour.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
