"The first red flag is representing himself as Steve Perez on Angi’s list when in fact his name is Ziv. There’s the hard sell and false promises (finish a kitchen remodel in 5-6 weeks) when it took 4 months. Unprofessionalism is an understatement. He communicates through texting like a teenager and screams at the client when in fact errors are his fault or his sub-contractors. We provided appliance specs very early in the process and the electrician still made errors for which Ziv wanted us to pay for. The cabinets delivered were incomplete which he blamed on us. He demanded a final payment and threatened to put a lean on our house when the work was incomplete per the contract. Then Subs starting calling demanding payment which was resolved after we provided cashed checks to Sonart Construction. Don’t believe what I say. Read the BBB review complaints for a well-deserved F rating."

Concrete steps need repair when you observe minor damage like hairline cracks, small chips, or slight surface deterioration. These issues don't compromise structural integrity. Consider replacement if you notice wide cracks exceeding 1/4 inch, significant crumbling, severe tilting, separation from adjacent structures, or exposed reinforcement materials.
Safety should be your priority—if steps feel unstable underfoot or show signs of major deterioration, consult a professional promptly for a thorough assessment.
The durability of concrete step repairs depends on several factors, including repair technique, environmental conditions, and maintenance practices. Industry professionals suggest that properly executed repairs can provide many years of service when maintained correctly.
Regular maintenance, like periodic sealing, can significantly extend repair longevity. The quality of workmanship makes a substantial difference—professionally completed repairs tend to outlast DIY attempts due to proper material selection, preparation, and application techniques.
Permit requirements for concrete step repairs vary significantly by location and project scope. Cosmetic repairs rarely require permits, while structural modifications or complete rebuilds often do. If you're changing the configuration, dimensions, or adding features like railings, check with your local building department before proceeding.
Many homeowners' associations also have guidelines governing exterior modifications. Working with experienced contractors can be advantageous as they understand local requirements and can handle necessary paperwork.
For optimal results, industry professionals recommend scheduling concrete repairs during moderate temperature periods when conditions are relatively dry. Proper curing requires appropriate conditions—extreme temperatures can negatively affect the setting process. Excessive moisture during installation can also compromise repair quality.
Planning ahead for suitable weather conditions increases the likelihood of successful, long-lasting repairs. If emergency repairs become necessary during less-than-ideal weather, specialized materials and techniques may be required to ensure proper results.
