Why are my concrete steps pulling away from my house?

This happens when the original crew failed to compact the soil properly or did not anchor the stairs to the main foundation. The ground settles over time, taking the heavy stairs down with it.

Do you repair steps or only replace them?

If the steps are severely sinking or deeply cracked, a full replacement is required for safety. We evaluate the structural damage and give you an honest recommendation.

How long do we have to wait to walk on new concrete stairs?

You can usually handle light foot traffic within 24 to 48 hours after the pour. We recommend keeping heavy items off the steps for at least a week while the concrete cures.

Custom Walkways & Entry Steps

Cracked or sinking stairs create massive safety hazards for your family and guests. We design and pour custom concrete steps and stairs in Fort Collins that provide a safe, level walkway to your door. The key to long-lasting stairs is what happens underground. Our crew properly anchors the new stairs to your existing foundation or footings to prevent pulling away over time. We take pride in our sub-grade preparation, compacting the soil and building strong bases so your new entryway survives harsh Colorado freeze-thaw cycles.

You can check structural building norms on Wikipedia to see why deep footings matter for weight bearing. Our local team offers standard broom finishes for maximum grip or decorative stamping for a high-end look. If your current steps are failing, we also provide demolition services to clear the site completely. With over 20 years of experience, we provide a detailed, free quote and deliver top-tier craftsmanship on every project.

Service Options

Stair Styles We Build

Standard Broom Finish

We drag a stiff broom across the wet concrete to create a textured, highly slip-resistant surface. This is the most practical and cost-effective option for safety.

Stamped Concrete Steps

We press patterns into the steps to mimic the look of natural stone or brick. This adds a massive upgrade to your front entryway's curb appeal.

Wide Entryway Landings

We pour expanded top steps or mid-stair landings to create more comfortable transitions up to elevated doorways or large wrap-around porches.

Pricing Guide

What Affects Stair Pricing

Number of Treads

Taller staircases require deeper footings, more formwork, and higher volumes of concrete. We calculate the exact dimensions during your free estimate.

Decorative Upgrades

Adding colored hardeners or custom stamp patterns takes more specialized labor than pouring standard broom-finish steps.

The Contractor You Choose

Steps must be perfectly level and properly anchored. We bring over two decades of experience and a 5.0-star rating. Hiring a cheap crew often results in hollow stairs that sink and pull away from your siding within a year.
