• Transparent planning ranges so you know what the steps may cost before work starts.

New Poured Concrete Steps

New poured concrete steps are installed for homes throughout Schererville and the 25-mile service area, including front entrances, side entries and porch steps. We size the steps to the entry and the rise needed for a safe transition.

Step pours set risers, treads and landings to consistent dimensions, with forms and reinforcement as required for durable edges. Surface texture is finished for slip resistance, and transitions between the steps, walkway and threshold are kept safe and even.

The outcome is a stable entry with comfortable riser heights, a slip-resistant surface, and clean transitions that hold up to foot traffic and weather without spalling at the edges.

Concrete Stoop and Landing Installation

Concrete stoop and landing installation is performed across Schererville and the 25-mile area for entrances that need a safe, level platform at the door. We pour stoops with landings sized to the entry and the traffic it receives.

Stoop work includes base preparation, forms, reinforcement as required, a landing at the correct elevation, and a broom texture for traction. Drainage is graded away from the house and the threshold so water does not pool at the entry.

The result is a level, safe entry platform with proper drainage, a slip-resistant finish, and a clean transition to the walkway and steps.

Concrete Step and Stoop Replacement

Concrete step and stoop replacement is performed for Schererville area homes when existing steps are broken, settled or deteriorated beyond localized repair. We handle the full demolition, haul-away and new pour as one coordinated project.

Replacement includes removal and disposal of the old steps, evaluation of the support and base, forms, reinforcement as required, consistent treads and risers, and a broom finish. The cause of the old deterioration is assessed so the new steps do not repeat it.

The outcome is a new entry with safe, consistent steps and a slip-resistant finish, replacing a broken or settled stair with one built for foot traffic and weather.

Freeze-Thaw Scaling and Spalling

Freeze-thaw scaling and spalling develop on concrete steps through Northwest Indiana winters, moisture and deicing salts, breaking down the surface of treads and edges. Spalled steps are both unsightly and unsafe. When deterioration is extensive, replacement restores a safe entry.

Settlement or Movement at the Entry

Settlement or movement at the entry lets steps and stoops drop or pull away from the threshold, creating uneven transitions and unsafe riser heights. Movement at the entry will not correct itself. Replacement with proper support restores a safe, stable entry.

Repeated Moisture and Deteriorated Concrete

Repeated moisture and deteriorated concrete break down steps over years of exposure, especially at treads and edges where water sits. Deteriorated concrete loses its structural integrity and its safe surface. Replacement is the durable answer for a deteriorated entry.

Broken Treads, Risers or Edges

Broken treads, risers or edges on concrete steps mean the concrete has cracked or spalled to the point where the entry is unsafe. Broken steps are a liability as well as a usability problem. Replacement restores a safe, solid entry.

Movement Has Created an Unsafe Entry Transition

Movement that has created an unsafe entry transition — uneven riser heights, a gap at the threshold or a tilted landing — means the steps or stoop have shifted. A moved entry will not settle back. Replacement with proper support corrects the transition.

Surface Deterioration Is Too Extensive for a Small Repair

When surface deterioration covers most of the steps rather than isolated spots, a small repair will not hold or restore the entry. Extensive spalling and scaling are signs that replacement is the more durable and cost-effective answer.

Evaluate the Entry and Existing Structure

We evaluate the entry, the existing steps or stoop, the rise and run needed, the support and base, and any settlement or deterioration. This is an evaluation, not an engineering or permit determination. You get a clear scope and a practical price range.

Remove Failed Concrete and Prepare Support

On pour day we handle demolition and haul-away where needed, then prepare the base and support for the new steps or stoop. The subgrade is prepared so the entry does not settle or pull away from the threshold.

Build Forms and Complete Concrete Placement

We build forms for consistent treads, risers and landings, add reinforcement as required, then place and finish the concrete. The crew manages the pour, consolidation and leveling to the planned dimensions and finish.

Finish Treads, Landing and Final Transitions

We finish treads and the landing with a broom texture for slip resistance, hand-finish edges, manage transitions to the walkway and threshold, clean the site, and walk the finished entry with you covering care, curing and use timing.

Poured Concrete Steps

~$850+ per step (benchmark)

What affects the price: Width, number of risers, landing, demolition, reinforcement and site access.

Small Stoop

~$1,500–$3,500+

How much do concrete steps cost in Schererville?

Concrete steps in Schererville commonly run about $850+ per poured step as a planning benchmark, with small stoops starting around $1,500–$3,500+ and larger stoops with multiple steps reaching $3,000–$5,500+. Width, riser count, landing, demolition and access move the number. We provide a specific estimate after evaluating the site.

Can damaged concrete steps be repaired instead of replaced?

Damaged concrete steps can sometimes be repaired instead of replaced when the damage is localized and the structure is sound, but widespread spalling, broken edges or movement usually make replacement the more durable answer. A small repair on a deteriorated step will not hold. We assess the steps and give you an honest recommendation.

How much does a concrete stoop cost?

A concrete stoop commonly costs about $1,500–$3,500+ for a small stoop and $3,000–$5,500+ for a larger stoop with multiple steps and a landing. Size, step count, reinforcement, demolition and access move the number. We provide a specific estimate after evaluating the entry.

Why do concrete steps crack and spall?

Concrete steps crack and spall because of freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, deicing salts, settlement and repeated foot traffic over years of exposure. Water sitting on treads and edges accelerates surface deterioration. Proper reinforcement, drainage and a slip-resistant finish help steps resist cracking and spalling.

Can a new stoop be tied into an existing walkway?

A new stoop can be tied into an existing walkway when the walkway is sound and at a compatible grade, creating a clean transition between the entry and the path. We assess the existing walk during the estimate to confirm a clean tie-in. Where the walkway is also failing, replacement of both may be the better answer.

Do concrete steps need reinforcement?

Concrete steps often need reinforcement because they carry foot traffic and have edges that are prone to spalling, but whether it is required depends on the step design, the support and the project. We add reinforcement as the project calls for it rather than applying it uniformly. The decision is based on the specific entry.

Do new concrete steps need to meet code requirements?

New concrete steps and landings can be subject to applicable building requirements for riser height, tread depth and landing size, but exact requirements depend on the project and the location. We do not invent specific dimensions or claim a blanket rule. The applicable local authority determines what applies to your entry.
