Steps that keep their line on Savannah's soft coastal ground: even risers built for a safe, predictable climb, structural fiber and mesh reinforcement, a tie-in that stays anchored, and a surface that holds when the salt air leaves it damp.
Credibility comes from how it's built, not from promises. Here's the order of operations on every concrete steps & stairs job.
Steps start on a true footing set over a base built for Savannah's soft coastal sand and the high water table near it, so they do not sink or drift off the house as the seasons turn.
We keep riser heights matched and inside code so each step meets your foot the same, an easy, safe climb whether it is a homeowner or a visitor on the stairs.
We thread structural fiber and welded wire mesh through the pour so the steps keep their edges and corners while the ground below works through its wet and dry swings, the routine coastal Georgia build for no-freeze, salt-air ground rather than a heavy rebar grid.
A broom or textured surface keeps you sure-footed through Savannah's frequent rain and the salt-damp mornings off the water, and we cut in extra grit wherever the entry asks for it.
We tie the new steps into the porch, slab, or walkway they meet so the finished entry reads as one piece, and we can set railing anchors wherever the approach needs them.
Most contractors vanish after the deposit. We pick up the phone, show up when we say, and stand behind the work after the truck leaves. The follow-through is the difference.
A foreman we know runs your job and a vetted crew does the work, managed by Lucky's, one company accountable from the first call to the final walkthrough.
COI and lien waivers on file before we break ground. The documentation that lets commercial clients pay and gives homeowners peace of mind.
Prepped subgrade, reinforced and mixed to spec for the job, and proper curing. We build credibility through the process, not promises. On concrete steps & stairs, that starts with footing the steps in firm ground.
Steps usually price by the set rather than the square foot, set by the riser count, the footing and base work the soft coastal ground demands, and how the run meets the house. For an honest opening figure, a typical set usually falls in the $300 to $500 per step range. We put a firm number to it once we have looked the entry over.
Most often the footing sat on soft, loose ground that was never properly packed, so it settled where the water table runs high and walked the steps off the house across the years. We seat footings on a base prepped to stay put, then reinforce the pour so the whole flight holds together.
We keep each riser matched in height and within local code so no step comes up short or tall underfoot. A mismatched riser is awkward to climb and a place to catch a toe, and that risk only sharpens when the tread is slick with coastal rain or salt damp.
The damage decides it. Light surface chips and spalling will often take a patch, while steps that have settled or drifted off the house usually point to a base fault and want a rebuild. We give you an honest read on which of the two you are dealing with.
We pour and finish the steps and place the anchor points a railing needs, then line up the railing install so the entry ends up where access and safety require.
Hold off on light use for the first few days while the concrete builds strength, and count on the salt-heavy coastal humidity to draw that window out a bit. We give you the dates for your own pour before we ever break ground.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
