Front Entry Steps & Stoops
CONCRETE FRONT ENTRY STEPS, STOOPS & PORCHES
Front entry steps are the first impression of your home and must meet building code for safety. We pour concrete entry steps with proper riser height (max 7-3/4"), tread depth (min 10"), and uniform dimensions throughout the staircase. Every entry includes a landing (stoop) sized to the door swing, non-slip broom or textured finish, and provisions for handrail post anchoring. We pour steps monolithically when possible for maximum strength.
Starting at $1500 per set

Why Choose Our Front Entry Steps & Stoops
Your front entry steps are the first thing visitors see and the surface you use multiple times every day. We pour entry steps that are safe, code-compliant, and attractive. Every set of front steps includes proper frost-depth footings, monolithic construction (steps and stoop poured together), and non-slip finishing for Minnesota's icy winters.
Signs You Need Front Entry Steps & Stoops
1. Crumbling or settled steps
Entry steps are cracking, spalling, or have settled away from the house creating a gap and safety hazard.
2. Non-uniform risers
Step heights vary, creating a trip hazard — building code requires uniform riser height throughout a stairway.
Our Process
Step 1 — Demo old steps
Remove existing damaged steps and stoop, excavate for new footings.
Step 2 — Form and reinforce
Build step forms with precise riser/tread dimensions, install rebar, and anchor to house foundation.
Step 3 — Pour and finish
Place concrete, screed treads, broom or texture finish, and edge all corners.

FAQs About Front Entry Steps & Stoops
Should front steps be attached to the house?
Steps should be connected to the house foundation with rebar dowels for stability. However, an isolation joint between the stoop and house wall allows independent movement (settlement) without cracking the house foundation. We use both connections depending on the specific situation.
