"Eric installed my patio, porch and steps. He was very helpful with the selection of the composite material for my porch, steps and measurement for my patio. Eric provided great customer service even when he faced a challenge with the permit for the project due to the soil conditions. Eric answered all of my questions regarding the project as he and his staff worked towards completion. He and his staff cleaned up after the project. I have a beautiful patio//porch that I love. I would recommend Dade Star for other similar projects. I look forward to future projects."

"It went wonderfully. The workers were professional and nice. They cleaned my yard every day when they finished working. I had a crumbling retaining wall. But to get to the wall they had to take down an 100 foot vinyl fence. Besides that, my neighbors shed is 3 inches from my property line. They could not bring in any machinery. They dug everything by hand. I was amazed how well they worked together. It really was like an assembly line. They worked fast and good. It took them only 3 1/2 days to finish the project. I’m so glad I decided to use A Plus Exteriors. They get 5 stars from me."

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.
