How We Do It
Our Porches & Steps Process
- 1
Measure & Design
We measure, plan step rise and run, and talk through finishes and railings.
- 2
Demolition
The old porch or steps are broken out and hauled away.
- 3
Base, Forms & Reinforcement
We prep a solid base, build forms and add reinforcement.
- 4
Pour & Finish
We pour and finish the porch and steps to your chosen look.
- 5
Cure & Strip Forms
Forms come off after curing, and we clean up the site.
Care & Maintenance
Stay off for 24–48 hours. Avoid rock salt on steps, since it's especially hard on edges, and use sand or a concrete-safe ice melt instead. Reseal decorative finishes every 2–3 years.
