Concrete Steps & Stairs

Why Quality Steps Matter

Your front steps are one of the first things people see when they visit your home. Cracked, uneven, or crumbling steps look bad and create safety hazards. You use these steps every single day, multiple times. They need to be solid, level, and safe regardless of weather conditions.

Concrete steps handle Florida weather better than wood or composite materials. They will not rot, warp, or attract termites. Rain does not make them slippery when you add proper texture. Sun does not fade or damage the surface. Once installed correctly, concrete steps require almost no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.

We build steps that meet building codes for rise, run, and handrail requirements. Every measurement matters for safety and comfort. Steps that are too steep feel dangerous. Steps that are too shallow feel awkward. Our experience with concrete construction in Jupiter means we get the dimensions right the first time.

Types of Steps We Build

Different homes need different step configurations. Single-family homes typically need three to six steps from ground level to the front door. Split-level homes might need longer stairways. Walkout basements require full staircases. We handle everything from simple stoops to complex multi-level stairs.

Common Step Applications

• Front entryways: Main entrance steps with or without landings
• Back door access: Steps to patios, decks, or yard areas
• Garage entry: Interior or exterior steps connecting garage to home
• Basement stairs: Full staircases for walkout basements
• Porch steps: Wide steps leading to covered porches
• Garden steps: Terraced stairs for sloped yards

Each application requires specific design considerations. Front steps need to look welcoming and match your home style. Basement stairs must meet strict safety codes. Garden steps should blend with your landscaping. We design and build steps that fit your specific situation and aesthetic preferences.

Design and Finish Options

Concrete steps do not have to look plain. We offer various finishes that add visual interest while maintaining safety and durability. A broom finish provides excellent traction and works with any style. Exposed aggregate adds texture and natural stone appearance. Stamped concrete can mimic brick, tile, or stone patterns.

Color is another option. Integral color mixes into the concrete for permanent, fade-resistant tones. Acid stains create variegated, natural-looking colors. You can match your steps to existing concrete work or create a complementary contrast. Check out our decorative concrete options for more ideas.

Safety Features

Beyond appearance, safety features matter. We add proper texture to prevent slipping. Nosing on each step provides definition and reduces trip hazards. Proper slope allows water to drain instead of pooling. We can also incorporate anchor points for handrails if your steps require them by code or if you just want the extra security.
