Who builds concrete steps in Round Rock, TX?

Professional Round Rock Concrete Company handles concrete steps construction in Round Rock, TX. We either set precast steps or pour new ones on site. I come out to look at your entrance myself and tell you plainly which way fits, and our own crew does the work.

Most calls about steps start with something you can see. A crack runs all the way through, a corner is crumbling, or the steps have dropped away from the door. Usually the trouble started underneath, with a base that was raked flat instead of dug out and packed, so it settled with the dirt and took the steps along.

We build steps two ways. Precast steps come from a factory and get set in place, while poured steps are formed and poured right at your door. Either way the base gets done right first, because it's hidden the day we finish and it's the first thing people try to cut. We can plan new steps alongside your slab foundation building or foundation installation so they tie in.

Price comes down to how much entrance you need and what has to come out before we start. The schedule depends mostly on whether your address needs a permit and on the weather. I'll come out, look at it myself and give you your own number.

What new steps take

  • Tearing out and hauling off old steps
  • Digging out and packing the base
  • Forms set to your door height
  • Rebar to hold poured steps together
  • Setting precast steps on firm support
  • Cleanup once the steps are finished

What to weigh before building concrete steps

  • What sets the price

    A landing, railings and tearing out the old steps all add to the job. So does an odd door height or a tight spot that rules out precast.

  • What the timing depends on

    The start date waits on any permit review, then on the weather, because we won't pour steps on a day that's wrong for fresh concrete.

  • Broom finish or smooth

    A broom finish is a light brushed texture that gives your feet grip when the steps are wet. Smooth concrete looks clean, but on steps I'd take the grip every time.

Questions about concrete steps in Round Rock

  • How much do new concrete steps cost in Round Rock?

    Installing concrete steps in the Austin area usually costs about $600 to $4,900 per job, and where you land depends on how much entrance you need. When you compare quotes, make sure each one covers the same finished entrance, including removal, supports, the landing and railings. A price for a precast unit by itself can't be compared to a poured job that's finished. I'll price the whole entrance when I come out, so you can line it up against anyone else's.

  • What is the best way to choose between precast and poured concrete steps?

    Precast steps make sense when a factory size fits your door and the installer can get them into place. Poured steps are the answer when no precast option works for your entrance. I'll tell you plainly which one fits once I've measured, even if it's not the one you hoped for.

  • How long do concrete steps last?

    Concrete steps usually last 30 to 40 years with proper care and upkeep. Neither kind lasts longer just because of how it's made, because precast steps need solid support under them and poured steps need protecting while the fresh concrete gains strength. Summer is the hard part, since heat, wind and dry air dry out fresh concrete fast, and a sunny, windy day calls for more care than a calm, humid one. If you're planning poured steps for summer, ask us how we'll protect them.

  • Do I need a permit for concrete steps in Round Rock?

    The city decides that. Round Rock's Building Inspection Division issues permits for building, repairing or tearing down any building or structure in the city, and that includes the Chandler Creek and Vista Oaks utility districts. Call them at 512-218-5550 to confirm whether your address is inside city limits, in the ETJ or in Williamson County, and they'll guide you from there. Every contractor who applies for a permit has to be registered with the city. We're licensed and fully insured, and before we set a date we check which office covers your address. When a permit is needed, we handle the application and keep it moving. The city says review for homeowner projects takes about 30 business days after it accepts the application, so plan your start date around that wait.

  • Should I repair or replace cracked concrete steps?

    One homeowner guide says to replace them, not repair them, if they're cracked all the way through or crumbling from the inside. The same guide says to replace steps that are pulling away from the house because the footing under them gave out. Chips and surface wear are a different conversation, so I'll look at yours on site and tell you what I see. The decision is yours.

  • How do I get in and out of my house while my front steps are replaced?

    We work out another way in and out with you before we start, so nobody's stuck at a torn-out doorway. Ask us when the finished entrance will be ready to use, and we'll tell you what that depends on for your job.
