Common Step Problems We Fix

Steps take more abuse than almost any other part of your masonry. They deal with constant foot traffic, rain, temperature changes, and the natural settling of your home's foundation. Here are the most common issues we see and how we fix them.

Loose and Wobbly Steps

When steps move under your feet, that is a serious safety problem. Loose steps usually happen because the mortar holding them together has deteriorated or because the foundation beneath them has settled unevenly. Sometimes water gets under the steps and washes away the supporting material, leaving gaps that allow movement. We rebuild loose steps from the ground up, starting with a solid foundation that will not shift or settle. We remove the unstable steps, repair or replace the base, and reinstall everything so it is rock solid. Your steps should feel completely stable with no wobble or flex, and that is exactly what you get when we finish the job.

Cracked and Broken Treads

The tread is the horizontal part of the step where you put your foot. Cracks in treads often start small but quickly get worse from freeze-thaw cycles and continued use. A cracked tread can catch your toe and cause a fall, especially in bad weather. Water seeps into cracks and causes further damage to the steps below. We replace damaged treads with new stone or brick that matches your existing steps. If your steps are older and the exact material is hard to find, we work with suppliers who specialize in matching historical materials. The replacements blend in seamlessly so you cannot tell where the old ends and the new begins.

Settling and Uneven Steps

Steps should rise at a consistent height from one tread to the next. When they settle unevenly, some steps end up higher or lower than they should be. This throws off your rhythm when climbing and creates a tripping hazard. Uneven steps often indicate problems with the foundation or inadequate base preparation when the steps were originally built. We level and rebuild settled steps with proper foundation work that prevents future movement. This includes compacting the soil, installing drainage to keep water away from the base, and using techniques that account for Montgomery's clay soil conditions.

Experience You Can Count On

Building and repairing steps requires more skill than most masonry work. Steps need to be perfectly level and consistently sized or they become dangerous. They need a foundation that accounts for soil movement and water drainage. They need to meet building codes for safety while also looking attractive. This is specialized work that demands experience and attention to detail.

Our team has built and repaired hundreds of staircases throughout Montgomery and the surrounding areas. We understand the local soil conditions, climate challenges, and building requirements. We have worked with every type of material from historic brick to modern stone pavers. This experience means we can handle unusual situations, match difficult materials, and solve problems that less experienced contractors might not even recognize.
