Concrete stairs must meet strict building codes for safety and accessibility. Proper rise and run dimensions, consistent tread depth, and adequate width ensure comfortable, safe passage for all users.
We build stairs to code specifications while incorporating your design preferences for finish, handrails, and decorative elements. The result is functional access that enhances your property's appearance.
Proper Dimensions
We build stairs with code-compliant rise (7-7.75 inches) and run (10-11 inches) for comfortable, safe climbing. Consistent dimensions prevent trip hazards and ensure natural, easy foot placement on every step.
Non-Slip Finishes
We apply broom texture or trowel finish with anti-slip additives to provide traction in wet weather. Safety texture prevents slips without being uncomfortable or difficult to clean.
Integrated Handrails
We embed handrail posts directly into concrete for maximum strength and stability. Code-compliant handrails provide essential support and meet requirements for commercial and multi-family properties.
Decorative Options
Choose from stamped stone patterns, colored concrete, or smooth trowel finish to match your home's architecture. Decorative treads and risers create attractive entrances while maintaining safety and durability.
Why Choose Our Stairs Service?
Concrete stairs require precision forming and careful calculation to meet code requirements. Inconsistent rise or run dimensions create trip hazards and code violations. We use precision measurement and quality formwork to ensure every step is identical and code-compliant.
We also understand the importance of proper reinforcement in cantilevered or unsupported stairs. Our engineering ensures stairs remain stable and crack-free even with heavy use or ground settlement over time.
Our Stairs Installation Process
1. Measurement and Design
We measure total rise and calculate the number of steps needed to meet code requirements. We discuss width, handrail preferences, and finish options that complement your property's style and architecture.
2. Excavation and Foundation
We excavate for footings and pour a stable foundation to support your stairs. Proper foundation work prevents settling that causes cracks or separation from landing areas and structures.
3. Precision Forming
We build custom forms with exact rise and run dimensions for each step. Quality formwork ensures consistent dimensions, crisp edges, and smooth surfaces that meet code and aesthetic standards.
4. Concrete Placement and Finishing
We pour concrete into forms, working from bottom to top. Each step is finished with your chosen texture—broom, smooth trowel, or decorative pattern. Edges are tooled for professional appearance and safety.
5. Handrails and Final Details
After curing, we remove forms and install handrails if specified. We clean work areas and inspect for finish quality. Your stairs are ready for use within days, providing safe access for years to come.
