Patch the old steps or build new ones?
If the steps still sit tight to the house and stay level, a patch may hold, but once they've moved, the trouble is underneath and new steps are the honest fix.
A patch may hold when:
- Cracks are thin and not spreading
- Steps sit tight against the house
- Treads are level and solid
- Only an edge or corner is chipped
- Water runs off, not toward the door
New steps make more sense when:
- Steps have sunk or tipped
- A gap has opened at the house
- Concrete crumbles when you scrape it
- Treads are uneven enough to trip on
- Cracks keep coming back after patching
- You need a new size or a landing
How a steps job goes
Call or send the form
Call (307) 209-5832 or send the form with how many steps you have and roughly how tall the entry is, and we'll set a time to come look.
A visit scheduled
I walk the entry with you
I come out myself, look at the ground and the door, and lay out precast and poured side by side. If the entry is tall, we plan a landing then.
A written estimate
Permit, if it needs one
If your job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork with the city it's in and start work once the permit is issued.
Paperwork handled
Build day
The old steps come out, then the base, forms and steel are set and checked before the truck shows up, because there's no fixing prep once concrete is in the forms.
New steps in place
Curing and clean-up
From there the concrete sets the schedule. We cover and protect the steps while they cure and gain strength, then pull the forms and haul off the debris.
A clean entry
What our concrete steps work includes
Tear-out and haul-off
We break out the old steps and haul the broken concrete away so the new ones start on clean ground.
Dug and packed base
We dig down to firm subgrade, the soil the steps sit on, and pack gravel so the steps don't settle with the dirt.
Forms sized to your door
Forms are built to your door's height and width so every rise matches and the top step meets the threshold.
Steel inside
Rebar, the steel bars set inside the concrete, ties the steps together and helps hold a crack closed if one forms.
Pour and broom finish
We pour when the weather's right and drag a broom finish across the treads, a light texture that gives your shoes grip.
Landing for tall entries
When the entry is tall, the plan includes a landing so you have a flat spot to stand while the door swings open.
What decides the price of new concrete steps?
The biggest swing in the price is whether you go precast or poured. After that, it follows how many steps you need, how wide they run and how tall the entry is, because a tall entry that needs a landing adds concrete, forms and labor. Tearing out the old steps is part of it too, and your written estimate puts a number on all of it.
The schedule turns mostly on the weather and on whether the city needs a permit first. If the budget gets tight, I'll tell you to cut the finish, not the base, because the base is buried on day one and it's what keeps the steps from settling later. If the steps lead onto a new porch or addition, the slab or foundation under it is its own job, covered on our slab foundation building and foundation installation pages, and we can plan both together.
Why Rock Springs homeowners call us for steps
Before anyone digs, permit questions go to the city, whose building rules include a Building Official and a permit requirement. The city has its own contractor licensing rules too, and we're licensed and fully insured. The site footingdepth.com reports that Wyoming has no mandatory statewide residential code and that required digging depths differ around the state, so we check locally first, in Rock Springs, Green River and the cities around them.
I spent years on restaurant lines before I picked up a trowel, and the kitchen taught me that the calm night belongs to the cook who prepped. I started this business here in 2017, I write every estimate myself, and I'm on site with our crew when we build. You'll know why we do each step before we do it, so call (307) 209-5832 when you're ready to talk it through.

(307) 209-5832Questions about concrete steps
How much do concrete steps cost in Rock Springs?
Installed concrete steps across the US usually cost about $500 to $5,000 per job. Where yours fall depends mostly on precast or poured, how many steps you need and whether a tall entry calls for a landing. I'll put your own number in writing after I walk the entry.
How do I choose between precast and poured concrete steps?
Go precast if price matters most and poured if you need a size precast doesn't come in. Precast steps are hollow and easier to set, so they cost less, while poured steps cost more but come in a much wider range of sizes. I'll show you both at your entry so you can see the trade for yourself.
Do concrete steps over 5 feet tall need a landing?
Usually, yes. One cost guide notes that most steps or stairs over 5 feet tall require a landing platform, and that adds to the cost. It's why I raise a landing at the first visit, so it's in your plan and your budget from the start.
Can concrete steps be poured in cold weather in Rock Springs?
Yes, but it takes extra work. Industry guidance treats it as cold weather when the air has dropped to 40°F, or is expected to drop below it, while the new concrete is being protected, and pours then need added steps to hold the recommended temperature. In milder cold, insulating covers may be enough, and with low temperatures or high wind the guidance calls for enclosures and heaters. If the forecast turns, I'd rather move the pour date than rush it.
What causes concrete steps to flake and chip in winter?
The usual cause is surface scaling, frost damage that wears away the top of the concrete, and it's the most common kind, linked to de-icing salt. Air-entraining agents, additives that leave tiny air pockets in the mix, are recognized as the most effective way to give freezing water room and cut down cracking. Ask whoever builds your steps about the mix.
How long do concrete steps last?
Concrete steps last 30 to 40 years with proper care and upkeep. That long life depends on the care they get over those years, so it's worth planning for upkeep from the day they're done.
