Q: Are stone steps cheaper than concrete?

• <div><p>Stone steps are often more expensive than concrete steps as they are specially cut and installed, on top of the material costs. Concrete is more readily available as many steps are precast, although custom-poured concrete steps are an option more similar in price to stone steps.</p></div>

Q: Are concrete stairs cheaper than wood?

• <div><p>No, high labor costs and the project's complexity make concrete stairs more expensive than steel or wood stairs. Wood steps cost between<b> </b>$100 and $200 per step, including labor and materials, while concrete steps are about triple, at between $200 and $600 per step. Building codes may also have stricter requirements for concrete steps, as they&rsquo;re considered permanent, so you might also pay more for permits.</p></div>

Q: Who do I hire to install stamped concrete?

• <div><p>Many concrete companies that handle installing concrete slabs or standard concrete patios can also install stamped concrete, but you can also hire a company that specializes in stamped concrete. These textured concrete surfaces take some finesse to get right, and choosing a company that concentrates on stamped concrete patios and walkways is a good way to ensure the finished product looks top-notch. Additionally, specialists in stamped concrete will likely have more texture options that suit your preferences, like riverstone, sandstone, yorkstone, and cobblestone.</p></div>

Q: How much does concrete labor and pouring cost?

• <div><p>Labor and pouring adds between <b>$8 and $18 per square foot</b> to your total for concrete delivery. Especially for larger projects, it&rsquo;s usually a good idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-delivery/">hire a professional concrete delivery company</a> when it comes to installing concrete surfaces even though it will undoubtedly cost more to hire a pro to do the work for you. </p></div>

Q: Do steps need a foundation?

• <div><p>Concrete steps need concrete footings, which is a type of foundation. They are made of concrete with rebar reinforcement poured into a trench. The footings support the stairs, spread the vertical load, and prevent the steps from sinking. Footings need to be below the maximum depth that the ground freezes, typically at least 42 inches in depth.</p></div>

We hired Hanson's to install new siding on the house. The "What work did you need done" drop down did not include siding installation. The job is now complete and the workmen did an excellent job; however, there was a substantial delay in getting the project started,

Dan was very professional and stayed in communication from start to finish. Our shingles, patio deck, siding and down spouts look new again and they haven’t looked that way in a long time. No more miss!

Ron and his staff were excellent to work with. The patio turned out better than expected, we changed a few things on the fly and they made it happen! We will be working with them again this season.

Advanced Concrete Lifting's employees did a very nice job the first time but the patio had a small area that didn't quite drain right. We called them about it and they fixed it promptly. Very personable and the patio looks wonderful. Thank you!

We had hoped they could start the project while we were away for two weeks, but getting the permits, equipment, and supplies, as well as lining up the subcontractors to do the work didn't allow that to happen. The project started the day after we got back. We didn't have a sink, stove,...
