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.
