The concrete steps we build

  • Poured-in-place steps

    We build forms right at your door and pour the steps there, so they can be shaped to fit a wide, tall or oddly sized entry.

  • Precast steps set in place

    These steps are made ahead, delivered hollow and set at your door, which suits a standard-size entry and keeps the job simpler.

What goes into replacing concrete steps in Buena Park?

Concrete steps construction in Buena Park means tearing out worn steps and building new ones at your door, either poured in place or made ahead and set, so you get a solid, even way in and out of the house.

Most calls start with steps that have cracked, chipped along the edges or settled into a tilt you notice every time you carry groceries in. We're based in Buena Park and work in the cities around it across Orange County and southeast Los Angeles County. The price moves with how many steps you need, how wide and tall the entry is, whether we pour or set precast, and whether old concrete has to be torn out and hauled away. The schedule mostly turns on picking the method and, if your steps meet a new sidewalk or the street, on any permit review the city needs, and your written estimate spells out what's in your job.

Concrete steps, from tear-out to final walk

Steps tie into the house, so I check the entry and the slab they meet with the same eye we bring to slab foundation building and foundation installation.

  • Poured or precast

    Poured steps take more work but fit almost any entry, so I weigh your entry's width and height against your budget before we choose.

  • Tear-out and haul-away

    We break out the old steps and haul the concrete away, keeping the dust and rubble off your plants and your path.

  • A dug-out, packed base

    We dig out and pack the base instead of raking it level, since you'll never see it but it keeps steps from sinking.

  • Pouring or setting

    Precast steps get set on that base, while poured ones get forms, steel rebar to hold them together and a pour before midday heat.

  • Finish and drainage

    We give the treads a broom finish, a texture for grip when they're wet, and pitch them so water runs away from your door.

Why Buena Park homeowners call us

I learned concrete pouring foundations and flatwork for builders, and in 2017 I started this business in Buena Park to work on homes where people already live. That means working around your garden, your pets and your car, and explaining each choice before it can surprise you.

    We're fully licensed and insured, so you're not the one left holding the bag if something goes sideways on your property. Ask to see the paperwork when I come out.

Questions about concrete steps

What is the best way to choose between poured and precast concrete steps?

Start with the size of your entry, because precast sets usually come about 3 to 5 feet wide and up to six steps tall, so anything wider or taller points to poured steps. Precast costs less since the steps are hollow and go together more easily, while poured costs more but can be built in a much wider range of sizes.

How much do concrete steps cost in Buena Park?

A national cost guide puts installed concrete steps across the US at about $500 to $5,000 for a set of 5 to 10 steps, which is the market's range and not our price. Both poured and precast are priced per step, and precast prices climb with height and width, so a longer or wider run costs more. Your own number comes in the written estimate after I've measured.

How long do concrete steps last?

Concrete steps last 30 to 40 years with proper care and upkeep, according to a national cost guide. That makes them a long-term buy as long as the care keeps up, so we'll talk through what yours need when we walk the finished job.

Can a handyman build my concrete steps without a license in California?

Only on a small job, because the state's exemption for unlicensed minor work tops out at $1,000, and only if the work needs no permit and the person employs no one on the project. Anything past that calls for a licensed contractor, so check the license with the state before you sign.

What should a quote for poured concrete steps include?

For poured steps, the framing and the rebar or mesh are usually counted in the material cost, so ask each contractor whether their quote includes them. Check for tear-out and haul-away of the old steps too, since those can change the total.

Who do I call about a building permit in Buena Park?

Buena Park directs residents to call its Building Permit Technician at (714) 562-3636. Whether steps that stay on your own lot need a building permit is a question for that office, and as we said above, we check it for your address before we set a date.

Concrete steps construction around Buena Park

If your new steps or the walk leading to them reach the public right-of-way, usually the sidewalk and parkway strip along the street, Buena Park's Public Works Department issues the permit, and that work always needs one. The city also requires a licensed contractor for anything in the right-of-way and lists a Class C-8 license for concrete there. Steps that stay on your own lot aren't settled by that rule, so before we set a date we check with the city or county office that covers your address, and if a permit is needed we handle the application, build the review time into the schedule and tell you up front.

A lot of the houses we work on around here have planters, lawn or a neighbor's walk right up against the front steps, so we plan the tear-out and the forms to keep those clear, the same way we do on jobs in Fullerton and Anaheim.
