Concrete steps construction in Longview TX - an even climb from the walk to your door
Steps cracked, sinking or pulling away from the house? We build precast or poured concrete steps that rise evenly and sit on solid support.
Precast or poured
We help you pick the type your entry actually needs.
Rise laid out first
The full height gets laid out before any forms go up.
Support underneath
Steel and footing matched to how your steps are carried.
Forms to cleanup
Our crew forms, pours, finishes and hauls off the mess.
Should your new concrete steps be precast or poured?
Concrete steps construction in Longview means building a new set of steps at your door, either precast units set in place or steps poured on site, sized to the height of your entry and set on support that suits how they sit.
Precast steps are hollow units set in place, and they cost less. Poured steps cost more but come in more sizes, so a simple entry can usually save with precast and an odd-sized one points to poured. I'll help you choose, then I lay out the full rise, the total height from ground to door, before any forms go up, because a small miss on each step adds up by the top.
The price mostly moves with precast or poured, how many steps you need, any landing, and what has to go underneath to hold them up. The schedule turns on that same choice, the weather on pour day and any permit the city asks for. Your written estimate gives you the figure for your own entry.
- Steps sized to your doorway
- Each step even with the next
- Support built for how they sit
- A clean site when we leave
How do you know it's time for new concrete steps?
Most people call when a step starts catching toes or pulling away from the house, and it's worth a look before anyone gets hurt.
A step that's sunk
When one step drops even a little, the heights stop matching, and that's the step people catch a toe on.
Cracks and broken edges
Chunks missing off the front edge and cracks running clear through usually mean the concrete is giving up, not just the surface.
Pulling away from the house
A gap opening between the top step and your door usually means the steps are settling, or were never tied in well.
Steps that feel off
If you catch yourself watching your feet, the step heights may not match, which is what a missed layout leaves behind.
Water sitting on the treads
Puddles on the treads, the flat part you step on, or water running back toward your door point to steps tilted the wrong way.
A door with no steps yet
A new door, porch or addition needs steps built to its height before anybody starts using it every day.
Get your steps priced
Send how many steps, a few entry photos and precast or poured. We reply within one business day, usually me, to set a free on-site estimate, no obligation.
What I look at for new concrete steps
Concrete is hard to take back once it's poured, so before I recommend anything I look at the parts nobody sees on the finished steps.
The height to your door
I measure from the ground to your threshold, because that height sets how many steps you need and whether precast comes in a size that fits.
What will hold them up
The steel inside, called rebar, and the footing underneath depend on how the steps are supported, and even a decorative set needs more than dirt that was never packed down.
Where they meet the house
Steps can sit on the ground, tie into a landing or foundation, or span like a stair. On new builds we plan them with the slab foundation building or foundation installation work.
Where the water goes
I check which way rain runs off your roof and walk, so the new steps shed water away from the door instead of toward it.
How a concrete steps job goes
I plan the job around your entry and how you use that door, and you'll know what's in the price and when we're pouring before we show up with forms.
You call
Call or send the form, and I call you back myself to set a time to come look at your entry.
I come measure
I measure the rise, look at what's underneath and ask what you need the steps to do.
Written estimate
You get a written estimate that spells out what's in it and what isn't, like hauling and cleanup, so you can compare fairly.
Forms and pour
If you go ahead, we set a date, form and pour, and you can ask what time, since afternoon heat is hard on fresh concrete.
Walk-through
We pull the forms, clean up and walk the steps with you, then tell you how long to stay off them while they cure and harden.

Concrete steps construction in Longview and nearby cities
Adopted building codes may set step height, tread depth, landings, width, handrails and guards, so getting those right is our job. Longview's Building Inspection staff give builders and homeowners the code requirements before a permit is issued. Whether your steps need a permit is the city's call, and where it wants one for our work, we handle the application and inspections.
Some lots sit on shrink-swell soil, ground that moves a lot as it dries out and gets wet again, which is one more reason to ask what's holding your steps up. We're based in Longview and build steps in the cities around it, including White Oak and Kilgore. If your city isn't on our list, call and ask.

(903) 331-0147Questions about concrete steps
How much do concrete steps cost per step in Longview?
Across the US, precast and poured concrete steps usually cost about $100 to $500 per step, and that's the going range, not our price. Precast versus poured, how many steps you need and what goes underneath decide where yours lands. Your written estimate gives you the figure for your entry.
Are precast or poured concrete steps better for my entry?
Precast is usually the better buy for a simple, standard entry, and poured is the better fit when you need a size precast doesn't come in. I measure before I recommend either, so the choice comes from your doorway and not a sales pitch.
How long do concrete steps last?
Concrete steps last 30 to 40 years with proper care and upkeep. You get the most out of that by planning for regular care and getting a settled step looked at early.
Who do I call in Longview about a homeowner's permit?
Call the city's Development Services department at 903-237-1074 if you want a homestead exempt permit, and call before you submit anything online. They also help in person. If you're pulling it yourself, we'll tell you what we need from it.
How do I keep outdoor concrete steps from getting slippery?
Outdoor steps need a finish with good traction, so the surface stays rough enough to grip instead of wearing smooth and slick. We usually give the treads a broom finish, a light dragged texture that gives your shoes something to catch when it's wet.
Will new concrete steps in Longview crack like my old ones?
New steps can still crack, but most of what ruins a set is underneath, like ground that settles, missing steel or water running the wrong way. When the budget gets tight, I'd rather spend it on the support than a fancier finish, because nobody sees the base on day one and everybody sees the step that drops.
