Concrete Steps & Stairs in Jacksonville, FL
Precast, poured-in-place, and block-supported concrete steps for residential entries, decks, and retaining structures. FL CBC1269043.
Florida Building Code governs step dimensions
Concrete steps in Jacksonville must meet Florida Building Code requirements for riser height (4 to 7.75 inches), tread depth (minimum 11 inches), and landing dimensions. Handrail requirements apply when steps exceed 30 inches total rise. We design all step work to code and pull the appropriate permit.
The most common failure mode for concrete steps in Jacksonville is the foundation, not the steps themselves. Steps poured without a proper base on sandy soil settle unevenly, creating trip hazards and pulling away from the house entry. We install a continuous concrete footer under all step installations, sized for the load and soil conditions.
Poured-in-place concrete steps with integral block or CMU support are more expensive than precast steps but far more durable and customizable. Precast steps are appropriate for simple 2 to 3 step entries where cost is the primary consideration.
