Concrete Steps Repaired With New Footings & Black Railing Added
In this project, SKV Construction removed the old steps. Concrete footings were poured for the new concrete steps, forms were built and 6 new concrete risers were poured. The new concrete steps provide a nice transition from the existing sidewalk to the top of the porch landing area. Ornamental black metal railings were secured to the the new steps and the porch landing.
The concrete steps provide a clean, inviting look to the front of the house. The steps blend in nicely with the brick exterior.

Broken Concrete Steps Repaired & Edges Fixed
In this project, a 2 step set of concrete stairs to a home was in need of repair to prevent a trip hazard.
The first image below shows the stairs before restoration with a the damaged areas exposed. Note the loose concrete debris on the steps and sidewalk.
It was necessary to vacuum up all the debris. Broken corners are sometimes difficult to reinforce. In this case, tap-cons were inserted into the base stairs and a special bonding material was used to make the new patch adhere to the old concrete.
The second image illustrates the concrete steps repair after refinishing. Note the clean, square edges around the railings and the removal of the potential trip hazard.
