Since 1971, Bruno Morelli, Morelli Concrete, LLC, has been a family owned business that proudly serves the North Hills of Pittsburgh, PA and surrounding areas. Pete, my son, has also been working with the business since his teens and is getting prepared for his eventual take-over of our business. We always stand behind our work, because we are experienced not only to do the job, but to do the job right. For most of our jobs, depending on the size, we DO NOT require a down payment. We can do this because we know that when we are finished our customers are completely satisfied with the job.
"Pete and his crew initially started our project of concrete around the pool with retaining wall and patio concrete slab 9/2021. Few issues that arose no fault of Pete, was the slide dimension and walkway needed to clear the solar cover was inaccurate and not enough concrete was poured for both of them. That was the fault of the pool company for giving inaccurate measurements to Pete. Pete stated he would correct this problem and add more concrete so the slide could be anchored onto the concrete and add more concrete to allow a walkway on the side of the pool. Another issue that Pete was notified right away was the retaining wall was not high enough and runoff/rain water was flowing over the top of the retaining wall and through the retaining wall causing muddy water to encroach into the pool area. He initially stated that once landscaping was complete it would fix this. However that was not the case. He was again notified and he promised to raise the retaining wall to correct this problem, yet he never showed up and continued to ignore our calls. Third issue was the concrete lining the pool already started to crack off and was found at the bottom of the pool. Fourth issue was the top blocks of the retaining wall were damaged. Several portions of the retaining wall were carved into and did not appear to be brand new. He promised he would replace these with new. Yet, he never showed back up. Fifth issue, the concrete patio cracked within several months. Sixth issue, the additional concrete was never sealed and is also now cracked. To attempt to correct the the first issue, He staked the project out 10/12/21 completed around 10/25/21. His crew was using a stamp for the concrete and the stamp for the new concrete was off-centered causing the concrete to be noticeably abnormal. When he was notified of this eyesore, he actually stated he realized this mistake… didn’t feel the need to tell us though. He promised us he would correct this by removing the concrete and pouring new. He would tell us on a weekly basis that he was coming to correct this problem and then he would never show up. We would call him and text him and he wouldn’t answer or reply. We have all encounters documented for proof. December 2021 came around and he stated due to poor weather conditions, we would be the first customer of 2022 and that we were “on the books!” Spring 2022 came around and he would continue to lead us on and telling us that he will be there on specific days and then again he wouldn’t answer his phone or texts. He kept ghosting us and texting us what we wanted to hear… it is now 1 year later and it’s still not fixed. He continues to screen our phone calls and rarely answers. Due to this delay, we were unable to complete this project until all these issues are corrected. We are awaiting to complete landscaping and install fend around property until this has been corrected. We would highly suggest thinking twice before you agree to have this company perform work at your house. We are shocked by their unprofessionalism, lack of respect and lack of pride in their work. Their slogan is that they stand behind their work; however clearly this is not true. Hopefully, I am able to post photos to prove the extent of our situation."

"Owner showed up with a small crew and a crazy new piece of equipment. Excavated down below my foundation and to the septic tank. Came into the basement and jackhammered the floor. Removed all the old terracotta pipe inside and out. Installed all new PVC pipe all the way down to the septic tank. Put gravel down to protect the new pipe. Poured concrete in the basement to close the floor back up. Only took one day to get the new pipe in. Came back the next to close the ground and floor up. Great experience, basement no longer smell like sewage."

Yes, to meet building codes, concrete steps must be securely fastened to your home's foundation or slab. This ensures stability and prevents movement. If your home lacks a conventional foundation, you'll need to install an approved footing beneath the steps to comply with local regulations.
Yes, concrete stairs are generally more expensive than wood or steel alternatives due to higher labor costs and specialized installation methods. Wood stairs typically cost between $100 and $200 per step, while concrete steps range from $200 to $600 per step.
To maintain your concrete steps, clean them thoroughly and apply a durable sealer or quality paint every one to two years. Regular inspections help identify any chipping or erosion early, allowing prompt repairs that prolong the lifespan and preserve structural integrity.
