When steps need replacing
- Steps pulling away from the house or tilting

Design and safety
Consistent riser heights and tread depths are what make stairs safe. Pennsylvania municipalities enforce the Uniform Construction Code, which sets limits on step dimensions and when handrails or guards are required — your contractor or municipal code office can confirm what applies to your project. Treads should pitch slightly so water runs off.

Construction
Steps are typically formed and poured in place on a footing below the frost line, or set as precast units. Poured steps can be shaped to fit landings and walkways; precast steps install quickly but come in set sizes. Railings are anchored into the concrete or the landing.
04
Cost factors
Number of steps, width, landings, demolition of old steps, footing depth, railings and decorative finishes such as stamped treads or stone veneer.
