Concrete steps construction in Anaheim CA - an even climb from the walk to your door
Cracked, crumbling or uneven steps at your door? We build poured or precast concrete steps, laid out evenly and set on solid support.
How are new concrete steps built in Anaheim?
Concrete steps construction in Anaheim means building new steps at your door, either poured in place on your property or set as precast steps, which come hollow and go together more easily, so you get an even, solid way in and out of the house.
Most calls start with steps that have cracked, settled or pulled away from the house, or with a new entry that needs steps where there were none. The price mostly comes down to how many steps you need, how tall and wide they are, and whether we pour or set precast, since poured steps add forms and rebar, the steel bars set inside to hold the concrete together. The schedule turns on whether the city wants a permit and on how the steps get supported, which is why I settle both first. When the steps lead onto a new landing or porch slab, we build that with our slab foundation building work, and I give you one clear price after I walk the job and measure it.

How AJ Anaheim Concrete Contractors builds your concrete steps
I care most about the part you won't see later. Before we build forms, we lay out the whole run, because a small miss on each riser, the height of one step, adds up and throws off the top or bottom step. We also settle early how the steps are held up, since we don't build on loose fill.
If the budget's tight, put it into the support and the forms before a fancy surface, because a nice top can't save steps that move. After the pour, new steps need curing, kept damp so they harden evenly, on every face and edge, and their corners and front edges need protecting from knocks while the concrete is young.
Questions about concrete steps
How much do concrete steps cost in Anaheim?
Across the US, building concrete steps, poured or precast, usually costs about $100 to $500 per step, according to a national cost guide. That's a national figure, not our Anaheim price. I'll give you your own number once I've measured your entry at the estimate.
How long do concrete steps last?
With proper care and upkeep, concrete steps last 30 to 40 years, according to a national cost guide. That long life depends on the care they get after we're done, and on the support they sit on from day one.
What is the best way to keep new concrete steps from settling?
Settle how the steps will be held up before anyone builds forms, and ask each bidder to explain it. Steps can rest on the ground, tie into a landing or foundation, or span like a stair, and each is reinforced and footed differently, so loose, unpacked fill isn't a safe base to count on. If yours tie into a new house foundation, we plan them with our foundation installation work.
How do I make sure new concrete steps are safe to walk on?
Get the step sizes right and the surface rough enough to grip. Building and accessibility codes may set the riser height, the tread depth or how much room each step gives your foot, the landings, the width, and the handrails and guards. Outdoor steps should also get a finish with traction, like a broom finish, a light texture dragged across the top, instead of a polished surface that turns slick.
How do I find out whether my concrete steps need a permit in Anaheim?
Start with the city's Building Division, which reviews construction plans and has a "When Is A Permit Required?" guide that answers this question. You can call the division at 714-765-5153 at Anaheim City Hall, or just ask me at the estimate.
Do I need a licensed contractor to build concrete steps in California?
Usually, yes, because the state licenses concrete contractors to form, pour, place and finish this kind of work. Its small-job exemption tops out at $1,000 and covers only work that needs no permit, done by someone with no one else working on the project. Ask any crew you're considering whether they hold that license.
