Steps & Stairs

Steps & Stairs

A step is a structural member used to support overhanging architectural features, such as an arch or beam. It is also used to provide elevation in order to rise above a floor or level. Stair tread refers to the horizontal board on the step or the part you actually step on. This is also known as the run. Risers are vertical boards that support the treads. A landing is a flat area between flights of stairs.

The primary purpose of stairs and steps is to move people from one level to another, but they are also used for display purposes. For example, they can be used to accent a store front, office building or porch. Steps and stairs come in many different shapes and styles and they can be made from several materials including stone, concrete, brick, wood and marble. Each material has its own benefits. For example, granite steps are very durable while marble provides elegance and beauty. Concrete steps are affordable while brick steps provide a classic look that can make any home more inviting. No matter what your needs are, there are many different options available when it comes to custom staircases and stairways.

We offer repairs on steps that have settled and/or shifted from their original position. Settling of the ground around your steps is common and happens to most homes as time goes by due to the soil settling around them.

This settling is often caused by poor drainage and/or bad landscaping design. If you notice water collecting around your foundation this can cause the ground under your steps to settle and then shift resulting in the natural sinking or settling of your steps over time. This can be dangerous if not repaired properly, as people can trip or fall, causing injuries to themselves or others.
