Concrete steps construction in Wellington FL - solid steps sized to your entry
Cracked, crumbling or uneven front steps? We build poured or precast concrete steps that fit your entry and stand firm underfoot.
Concrete steps take a beating. Here's when to rebuild them.
Concrete steps come two ways. We can pour them on site, building wooden forms and setting rebar or wire mesh inside, the steel that holds the concrete together, or we can set precast steps, a premade set delivered to your entry. Either way you get a solid concrete stair.
Most calls start with steps that have cracked, sunk or pulled away from the door, and the cause is usually the ground underneath settling. We also build steps for new homes and additions, planned with the slab foundation building or foundation installation so the top step meets the door at the right height.
The price moves mostly with the size of your entry and which method fits it, since precast costs less but comes in a narrower range of sizes. The schedule turns on whether your job needs a permit and on the weather for pour day. Your written estimate gives your own figure and what's included.
Steps warn you first. These signs mean new concrete steps.
Cracks that keep widening
A hairline crack can sit still for years, but one that grows usually means the ground under the steps is moving. Waiting lets water get in and break the edges off faster.
A gap at the house
A gap opening where the top step meets the door usually means the stair is settling on its own. Left alone, it lets water run toward the wall and the threshold.
A step that rocks or tips
If a step moves underfoot or slopes toward you, the base under it has washed out or settled. That's a fall waiting to happen for kids and older visitors, and it only gets worse.
You call, I come look. Then we build your concrete steps.
When you call, I come out myself to look at the entry, measure the width and height, and ask how you use that door. One precast maker lists room for delivery, and lifting gear where it's needed, as a must for precast, so I also walk the path from the street to your steps.
Then you get a written estimate that spells out what's included, whether we're pouring or setting precast, and why that fits your entry.
On build day I'm on site leading our crew. We dig out and pack the base, then pour into forms or set the precast unit. If we pour, we time it around the sun and wind, which dry fresh concrete too fast, and keep it from drying out while it cures and gains strength. Then we clean up and walk the steps with you.

Questions about concrete steps. Here are straight answers.
Here's what people usually want to know before new steps go in. If your question isn't here, call us and ask.
How much do concrete steps cost in Wellington, FL?
Concrete steps across the US usually cost about $100 to $500 per step, and that's a national range, not our price. Precast prices move with the height and width of the set, and poured steps usually include the framing and steel in the material cost. Your written estimate gives your own figure.
Should I get precast or poured concrete steps for my front door?
Precast is usually the cheaper pick when your entry fits it, since the steps are hollow and easier to set, and they typically come 3 to 5 feet wide and up to six steps tall. Poured steps cost more but come in a much wider range of sizes. I'll help you choose at the estimate.
How long do concrete steps last?
Concrete steps last about 30 to 40 years with proper care and upkeep, by national cost guides. That span leans on the care, so keeping water draining away and fixing small cracks early is part of what steps cost you over time. When we finish, I walk you through what to watch for.
Will my new concrete steps crack like the old ones?
Any concrete can get hairline cracks, but most bad cracking on steps comes from a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed. A step that settles on loose dirt cracks no matter how nice the top looks, so if the budget is tight, I'd rather spend it on the base than the finish.
