About concrete steps & stairs

Bazan Concrete pours <strong>cast-in-place concrete steps</strong> — front entries, porch stairs, retaining-wall stairs, and side-yard transitions — across the Tri-Cities. Steps are built to Washington residential code with 7-inch risers and 11-inch treads by default, then tied into existing concrete with epoxied rebar dowels so the seam stays tight.

Why Bazan Concrete

Why choose us for concrete steps & stairs.

/ 01

Even risers, comfortable run

We build to 7-inch risers and 11-inch treads so every step feels the same — no surprise short step at the top or bottom.

/ 02

Anti-slip finish options

Broom finish is standard. North-facing sets that hold ice can take an anti-slip aggregate or textured stamp on the tread.

/ 03

Railing-ready

Code requires a handrail at 4+ risers. We leave embeds for metal railing or coordinate with your fabricator at install.

What we do

Concrete Steps & Stairs that hold up across Tri-Cities weather.

Cast-in-place steps are stronger than precast and look like part of the house. We pour front entries, porch stairs, side-yard transitions, and retaining-wall stairs — tied into existing slabs with epoxied rebar dowels so the new and old concrete behave as one.

Treads and risers are sized for comfort first and code second. Washington residential code allows up to 7 3/4-inch risers; we build to 7 inches with 11-inch treads so every step feels even underfoot.

Sealed concrete steps last 30+ years. The two things that shorten life are de-icing salts and water working into hairline cracks — we recommend sand for traction in the first winter and a re-seal every 2–3 years.

FAQ

Concrete Steps & Stairs — frequently asked questions

Quick answers about concrete steps & stairs in the Tri-Cities.

What is the standard rise and run for concrete steps?

Residential code in Washington generally allows risers up to about 7 3/4 inches with a minimum tread of 10 inches. We typically build to 7-inch risers with 11-inch treads — comfortable to walk, easier on knees, and consistent so no step feels off from the others.

Can you tie new steps into existing concrete?

Yes. We drill the existing slab, epoxy in rebar dowels, and pour the new steps so they're structurally bonded. The seam is set at a control joint where possible so it blends with the existing concrete instead of looking like a patch.

Do concrete steps need a railing?

Washington residential code requires a handrail when steps have four or more risers. We can pour an integrated cheek wall, leave embeds for a metal railing, or coordinate with a railing fabricator so the install lines up cleanly.

Will the steps be slippery?

A broom finish gives plenty of grip in wet and snowy conditions. We can also add anti-slip aggregate or a textured stamp on tread surfaces if the steps face a north-side exposure that holds ice. We will recommend the right finish based on where the steps live.

How long do concrete steps last?

Properly built and sealed concrete steps last 30+ years. The two things that shorten that life are de-icing salts and water working into hairline cracks. Sealing every 2–3 years and using sand instead of salt for traction will keep them looking new for decades.
