Footing the steps to solid ground
Steps rise from a true footing bedded onto a base built for Fort Lauderdale's near-grade limestone and tidal water table, so they neither drop nor stray off the house as the years stack up on a waterfront lot.
Entry steps that hold plumb on Broward's tidal ground: matched risers, structural fiber and welded wire mesh, a junction locked to the home, and a tread that grips when the afternoon storm sweeps in off the Atlantic.
Credibility comes from how it's built, not from promises. Here's the order of operations on every concrete steps & stairs job.
Steps rise from a true footing bedded onto a base built for Fort Lauderdale's near-grade limestone and tidal water table, so they neither drop nor stray off the house as the years stack up on a waterfront lot.
Every riser is poured to one measure and held inside code, so the flight climbs at a single steady rhythm that stays comfortable and safe underfoot.
Structural fiber and welded wire mesh go through the pour so the steps keep their nosings and corners through our humid, salt-tinged air; on frost-free coastal ground that is the standard build, standing in for a rebar mat the Atlantic salt would only seek out.
A broomed or textured tread keeps your feet under you through Lauderdale's regular rain and damp seaside mornings, and we cut in extra grit anywhere a dockside or canal-side entry demands it.
We knit the new flight into the existing porch, slab, or walkway so the whole entry reads as one built piece rather than a patch.
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 to solid ground.

Steps price as a set rather than by the square foot, and the figure follows the riser count, the footing and base work over our limestone ground, and how the run meets the house. As a rough opening, a typical set tends to run about $300 to $500 per step. We firm that up once a crew has looked over the entry in person.
Most often the footing sat on a base never truly seated, so it dropped into a hollow seam or where the tidal table runs shallow and carried the steps off the house over the years. We bed new footings onto a base built to stay locked and reinforce the pour so the flight behaves as one solid unit.
Each riser is cast to one matched height inside local code so every tread lands under your foot at the same place. Risers that wander are both awkward and a real trip hazard, and that hazard deepens the moment Lauderdale rain glazes the steps over.
It turns on what failed. Minor surface chips and spalling can sometimes take a repair, but steps that have settled or pulled off the house usually point to a base problem and earn a rebuild. We tell you plainly which of the two yours is.
We pour and finish the flight and cast in the anchor points where railing hardware will bolt down, then schedule the rail install around your access and safety needs.
Hold off a few days for light use while the concrete builds strength, and our thick coastal humidity can push that window out a touch. We hand you the dates specific to your pour before we begin.
You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day. No call center, no runaround, no chasing us down.
