What Is Concrete Staircase Construction?
Concrete staircase construction involves the process of creating stairways using poured concrete, precast units, or a combination of both. They are designed for long-term use and can be plain and functional. You can also add a touch of beauty with decorative finishes like stamping, staining, or polishing.
Concrete stairs are commonly used in residential homes, commercial buildings, public spaces, and landscape designs, offering a solid, non-combustible, and weather-resistant solution.

FAQ
Can I customize the look of my concrete stairs?
Yes, you can! We offer staining, stamping, exposed aggregate, and polishing to match your vision.
How long before I can use the new stairs?
Light foot traffic is usually allowed after 24 to 48 hours, but full strength is achieved after about 7 days.
Are concrete stairs more expensive than wood or metal?
Upfront costs may be higher, but concrete lasts far longer with less maintenance. Therefore, it saves you money in the long run.
