"The drop down menu options for my project are limited and do not adequately explain the large scope of our residential project. We had several height feet of the downhill side of our foundation redone, with the house needing to be leveled. It had sunk 2 inches. He fixed the driveway near the foundation that had to be replaced. Our basement floor had been poorly laid and was flooding so Ed removed it: his team dug down into the dirt, laid the right kinds of base layers and membrane before pouring new concrete that also had a drain path. He installed a sump and drainage system. Our basement has been bone dry this winter. Ed and his crew are honest, tidy, did what they said they would do, were safe, and respected the neighbors’ property. Ed spent time evaluating our problems, consulting in a way that asked us to think about project more cost effectively, and have a bid that he adhered to, scheduled/managed the inspectors, and completed the work in a timely fashion.

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.
