Should I repair or replace crumbling concrete steps before adding a railing?

• <div><p>Crumbling concrete steps will affect your ability to drill into the material and affix a sturdy railing. If the damage is primarily cosmetic, you might be able to DIY the repair with a patch kit. If the concrete is badly crumbling, hire a professional who specializes in pouring concrete. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-repair-chipped-broken-concrete-step-steps-lead-front-door.htm">concrete step repair cost</a> is <b>$500</b> from a professional, but the extent of the damage will determine your actual cost. The professional may recommend a replacement if the damage is extensive.</p></div>

Is it safe to stay in a home with foundation problems?

• <div><p>It’s usually not an immediate safety risk to live in a house with foundation problems, but you don’t want to let those problems persist. Most foundation issues don’t lead to a house’s sudden collapse, but they can lead to health issues like mold growth and pest intrusion, as well as problems like uneven floors or rotten beams and joists, which can pose injury risks and be costly to fix.</p></div>

Are foundation repairs permanent?

• <div><p>Some foundation repairs are permanent, like underpinning and exterior drainage systems like the French drain. These fixes address the underlying problems—insufficient support from the soil and hydrostatic pressure on your foundation walls, respectively—so they can last for many decades, making them “lifetime fixes.” There are other solutions to address these issues that will last for up to a decade, making them temporary. These include slabjacking to raise concrete slabs back into place and dampproofing to reduce the water in the soil that interacts with the concrete foundation. </p></div>

What should I do at the same time as repairing concrete steps?

• <div><p>You may want to hire a concrete floor contractor to check out your home’s concrete surfaces or inspect your home’s foundation for minor damages that they can fix while on site. They may be able to fix <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-concrete-and-asphalt-driveway-cracks.htm">cracks in your driveway</a> or garage floor the same day they fix your concrete steps, as well. General concrete repair experts usually won’t be able to handle larger jobs, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-mudjacking.htm">leveling a sunken foundation</a>, so you’ll need to hire a structural engineer for bigger projects.</p></div>

Midwest Concrete did a very good job replacing our concrete driveway. It looks very good and the workers were very nice and professional. We were 100% satisfied and highly recommend them to anyone that needs their services. They were also less expensive than other bids we received.

Now for the review, Feth Construction likes to make sure you know how many years of experience they have and that they stand behind their work. In my experience with them nothing could be further from the truth. I now have a 12' by 15' slab of concrete with two concrete steps that looks like...
