"I was initially frustrated that it took longer than expected to get the materials. They worked with me to seek others but we decided to wait for the original ones to arrive. I am glad we did. They look beautiful. The team worked extremely hard and were very professional. They paid incredible attention to detail and the permeable walkway they built along the driveway and to the house is beautiful. I will hire them again for another project for sure."

"Billy and his team carried out a major renovation of our 100 year old home, including a total revamp of our second floor to have a masterbedroom, two bathrooms, a walkin closet and a new second floor deck. The project also included renovation of a room to create a library with built in shelves. To say we are happy with the result would be a major understatement. Billy solved a number of unexpected complications in this old structure and made numerous suggestions to improve the plans. He routinely found significat savings in acquisition of materials and other costs. (Note: in the photos below the ramp wss put in by me for our dog and was not part of the renovation.)"

"We noticed a significant hole developing in our shared alleyway, which seemed to worsen quickly. Also there were other depressions in our driveway where the asphalt was on the verge of giving way. After trying to contact multiple contractors and leaving several voicemails, the only one who responded promptly was Patrick from Capitol Hill Masonry. He came out immediately to assess the issues and provided us with a quote without delay. Once we approved the work, his team began the project the same day and completed everything by the following day. We are extremely pleased with the quality of their work. Patrick and his team were friendly and took the time to patiently answer all our questions. I would highly recommend Capitol Hill Masonry to anyone in need of masonry services."

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.
