Concrete Steps & Stairs
Custom concrete steps and stairs built for safety, durability, and lasting curb appeal.
Why Quality Steps Matter
Your front steps are the first thing visitors see when they arrive at your Apex, NC home. Cracked, crumbling, or uneven steps make a poor first impression and suggest your property isn't well maintained. Quality concrete steps enhance your curb appeal and show pride in homeownership.
Safety is even more important than appearance. Every year, thousands of people are injured on unsafe steps. Loose or damaged stairs create serious risks, especially for children, elderly family members, and guests unfamiliar with your property. Properly built concrete steps provide secure footing in all weather conditions.
Concrete steps need to handle constant use and exposure to weather. Rain, snow, ice, and temperature changes all take their toll. When steps are built correctly from the start with proper drainage, reinforcement, and finishing, they last for decades without significant maintenance.
Our Step Installation Process
Building stairs isn't just about pouring concrete into a form. The engineering matters. Rise and run dimensions must meet building codes while feeling comfortable to climb. Handrail placement, tread depth, and riser height all affect safety and usability.
How We Build Steps That Last
- 1.We start with precise measurements and check local code requirements for your area
- 2.Excavation and base preparation create a stable foundation that won't settle
- 3.Custom forms are built to exact specifications for your project
- 4.Steel reinforcement is placed to prevent cracking and add structural strength
- 5.Concrete is poured, finished smooth or textured for traction, and properly cured
We can match your existing patio or walkway style, or create something entirely new. Textured finishes provide better traction in wet conditions. Colored or stamped concrete adds visual interest while maintaining the durability you need.
Step Projects We Handle
Every property is different. The steps you need depend on your home's style, the elevation change, and how the steps will be used. We build all types of concrete stairs for residential and commercial properties throughout Apex.

We also repair existing concrete steps. If your current stairs have minor cracks or surface damage but the structure is sound, we can restore them. This costs less than full replacement while extending the life of your steps by many years.
