Porch Steps Construction

What This Service Involves

Porch steps take heavy daily use and constant exposure to the elements, so they need solid construction and weather-ready materials. We build on frost-resistant footings with code-compliant dimensions and railings, using materials that coordinate with your porch and siding. Slip-resistant treads and good drainage keep them safe through the rainy season. Whether wood, composite, concrete, or masonry, the steps are built to last and to feel secure underfoot. Code compliance and permits are handled as part of the project.

Benefits

Sturdy, code-compliant steps for daily use; Frost-resistant footings resist heaving; Slip-resistant treads for wet weather; Materials matched to the porch and home; Safe railings integrated into the design

Our Process

1) Measure the porch height and plan the rise and run; 2) Pour footings and set the support structure; 3) Build treads and risers to code dimensions; 4) Add railings and finish the surface

What Affects the Cost

Number of steps and porch height; Material chosen for treads and structure; Footing and framing work; Railings and finishes; Removal of old steps if present

Best Time of Year

Dry, mild conditions are best for footings and finishing, so late spring through early fall is ideal.
