Footing below loose clay
Steps begin on a real footing seated below the loose, moisture-driven red clay so the wet-and-dry swings that move Georgia soil can't lift or tip them off the house.
Proof
A job we'd put our name on
Stairs that suit the house and stay anchored on a sloping Piedmont lot, with even risers built to code, a steel-reinforced pour, footings seated below loose red clay, and a clean tie-in to the porch.
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 seated below the loose, moisture-driven red clay so the wet-and-dry swings that move Georgia soil can't lift or tip them off the house.
Riser heights stay uniform and within code, so the climb feels right every step and stays safe.
Steel tied into the pour lets the steps keep their edges and corners through season after season of clay movement on the slope.
A broom or textured surface gives grip in the rain and, more to the point here, through the occasional winter ice storm, and we can work in extra grit where the entry needs it.
The new steps are knit neatly into the existing porch, slab, or walkway so the result 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 below loose clay.
Steps get priced by the set, not the square foot, and the number rides on the count of risers, how deep the footing has to reach on the slope, and the way they meet the house. A typical set opens around $300 to $500 for each riser as a starting point. Once we have stood at the entry, you get a firm figure.
Usually a footing seated straight on loose red clay that swells and shrinks with the rains and dry spells, walking the steps off the house over time. We seat footings below that loose layer so the soil's movement can't carry them along.
We keep risers even and within local code so every step lands the same underfoot, since mismatched risers are both awkward and a trip hazard, worse when an ice storm glazes them over.
That hinges on how far the damage has gone. A bit of surface spalling will sometimes take a patch, but once steps have leaned on moving clay or split through a riser, a rebuild is the honest answer. We tell you plainly which case yours is.
We pour and finish the steps and set anchor points for railings, then coordinate the railing install so the result meets your access and safety needs, which matter all the more on an icy morning.
Foot traffic usually holds off a few days while the concrete builds strength, and our humid air can stretch that a touch. We give you the exact timeline for your pour before we start.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
