Should you patch your steps or rebuild them?
It mostly comes down to what's underneath. If the steps still sit firm and level, a repair can work. If they've moved, the base has failed and patching won't last.
A repair is enough when:
- The steps still sit firm
- Cracks are thin and not spreading
- Only an edge or corner is chipped
- Every step is still the same height
- The steps haven't pulled from the house
Rebuilding is the better call when:
- One side has sunk lower
- The steps have pulled away from the door
- Step heights no longer match
- Cracks run through and keep growing
- Loose fill sits underneath
- You want to add a landing or handrail

A visit booked
I look at your entry
I check what the steps will sit on, measure from the door to the ground and ask how you use the entry, including any landing or handrail plans.
Site checked and measured
You get it in writing
The estimate spells out what's included and what isn't, from the base under the steps to the finish on top, so you know what you're paying for.
A written estimate
Paperwork and a pour date
If you go ahead, we sort out the paperwork with the right office and plan the pour with you, including how you'll get in and out while the steps cure.
A pour date
We build and clean up
Our crew forms, pours and finishes the steps with me on site, then we protect the new edges while they cure and leave your entry clean.

What our concrete steps work includes
Tear-out and haul-away
If old steps are in the way, we break them out and haul the concrete off your property.
Digging to firm ground
We dig down to solid subgrade, the soil the steps sit on, and pack it instead of building on loose fill.
Footing or tie-in
Depending on how your steps are supported, we pour a footing for them or tie them into the landing or house.
Forms and rebar
We build sturdy forms and set rebar, the steel that holds concrete together if it cracks.
Pouring and finishing
We place the concrete, shape clean front edges and broom the treads so they grip underfoot.
Curing and clean-up
We keep every face and edge from drying out while it cures, the slow hardening that gives concrete its strength, then strip forms and clean up.
What drives the price of concrete steps?
The number of steps, how wide they run and how they're supported move the price most. Steps resting on the ground cost less than steps tied into a landing or your house, because those need more steel and a real footing, the same kind of work we do on slab foundation building and foundation installation jobs. Adding a landing or handrails, or tearing out old steps first, adds to it too.
The schedule turns on whether a permit is needed and how long the concrete has to cure. If the budget's tight, keep the money in the base and cut the fancy finish, because nobody sees the base on day one, but it's the first thing to fail when it's skimped.
Why Enterprise homeowners call us for steps
I've run this business since 2013, and I still come out to look at every job myself. On steps, we lay out the whole run before we build a single form, so the top and bottom steps come out even with the rest. We also settle what the steps will sit on first, because loose fill under them won't hold.
Our own crew does the forming, pouring and finishing, and I'm on site on pour days to answer questions. If something is out of our hands, like what's hiding under an old set of steps, I'll tell you before we start. Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. Call (702) 374-0991 to set up a visit.

(702) 374-0991Questions about concrete steps
What is the best way to support concrete steps?
Concrete steps need firm support, never uncompacted fill, and the footing and steel depend on whether they rest on the ground, tie into a landing or the house foundation, or span as a stair. Ask your contractor early which one your steps will use, because the footing plan follows from that choice. Clark County keeps soils maps, including one for expansive soils, that show trends in the ground near the surface across the valley, and we look at what's under your entry before we decide.
How much do concrete steps cost in Enterprise, NV?
Installed poured concrete steps usually cost about $200 to $500 per step across the US, which is a national figure and not our price. Your number depends on how the steps are supported, how wide they run, and whether you want a landing, handrails or old steps torn out. Our written estimate shows what's included and what isn't.
Can concrete steps be poured in hot weather?
Yes, and national industry guidance says concrete placed in hot weather generally holds up about as well as concrete poured in normal temperatures, as long as its strength is right and curing keeps the surfaces from drying out. High heat, low humidity and wind change how a crew mixes, hauls and places concrete, so we time the pour around them and keep the new steps from drying too fast.
Do I need a permit for new concrete steps in Enterprise?
Check with the Clark County Building Department, because owners or their contractors apply there and get any required permit before building, altering or repairing a structure. The county's adopted building codes may also set step height, tread depth, landings, handrails and guards, which is one more reason we lay out the run first. We check which office covers your address, handle the application and inspections when a permit is needed, and tell you up front if anything is on you.
What causes concrete steps to sink or pull away from the house?
Usually it's the base, because steps built on loose or raked fill settle as the dirt under them packs down or washes out. Water running toward the steps instead of off them makes it worse. If yours have dropped, call (702) 374-0991 and I'll come look at what's underneath.
Does a concrete contractor need a license in Nevada?
Yes, the state contractors board lists concrete contracting as its own subcontracting trade under its Classification C. Ask any contractor you're considering what license they hold before you sign. We're licensed and fully insured.
