"Working with Yesner was fantastic and I would / will hire him again! The project was pouring a concrete slab in the basement of our old (1904) home. Like all old-house projects, this slab pour project had unique problems that would require someone with experience and a willingness to brainstorm in order to do it right. Yesner brought his experience, suggestions, and skills to the project and I'm very happy with the results. Additionally, he was dependable, easy to communicate with, and did not upsell his ideas. He came in with a reasonable bid (which can be hard to find in SF), adjusted costs for the change-orders without gouging, worked with me on the schedule, and was pleasant throughout the entire process. Yesner is the bomb and I wish him success in his business!"

Building codes require you to anchor concrete steps to the house foundation or slab so they can’t shift or settle. If your home doesn’t have a standard foundation, a contractor will pour a small footing or create a gravel base that meets local specs. Proper anchoring keeps the staircase stable, prevents cracks, and helps it last for decades while staying code-compliant.
Concrete stairs are more costly than wood or steel options. They cost about $200 to $600 per step—roughly double the $100 to $200 you’d pay for wood. The higher price comes from the extra labor, specialized forms, and strict code requirements that go into safely mixing, pouring, and curing concrete.
Keep your concrete steps in shape by sweeping, regularly rinsing them, and rolling on a quality sealer or porch paint every year or two. During each cleaning, look for cracks, chips, or spots of erosion. Catching small problems early keeps water out, maintains the structural strength of the steps, and helps the stairs stay safe—and good-looking—for decades.
