Concrete Steps & Stairs for Redmond properties
Old concrete steps fail in predictable ways: they settle and pull away from the house, the risers are uneven, the treads tip toward the door, or the edges spall from years of water and freezing. New steps are a chance to fix the geometry as well as the concrete, so the steps are comfortable, safe and shed water.
1970s through 2000s subdivisions, townhomes, and new construction around downtown and Overlake. We work across Education Hill, Grass Lawn, Overlake, Idylwood, Bear Creek, Willows/Rose Hill, Redmond Ridge and downtown.
Front entry steps
Replacing tired steps and landings at the front door.
Porch and back-door steps
Short runs down to a patio or yard.
Garden stairs
Steps cut into a slope, often with walls on the sides.
Redmond conditions that affect your set of steps
Slope and access
Education Hill and the hills around Overlake and Bear Creek have sloped lots and stepped back yards, which brings retaining walls and steps into many projects.
Homes and existing concrete
1970s through 2000s subdivisions, townhomes, and new construction around downtown and Overlake.
Rain and drainage
Downspouts and yard drains that empty onto the driveway or patio are a common reason slabs settle and grow moss. We plan where water goes before we pour.
Details that help us price your concrete steps in Redmond
You don’t need answers to all of these. They’re the questions that shape the design and the price.
Total height
From the ground to the door threshold, or to the top of the slope.
Number of steps now
And whether the risers are uneven.
Landing
Is there one, and is it big enough to open the door?
Railings
Existing or wanted.
Photos
From the side and the front, plus any cracks or settling.
Connection
Attached to the house, a porch or a wall?
Options to talk through
| Choice | What to think about |
|---|---|
| Rise and run | Even risers and deep enough treads; inconsistent steps cause trips |
| Landing | Room to stand and open the door without stepping back |
| Railings | Plan post locations before the pour |
| Finish | Broom or exposed aggregate for grip; stamped needs grit in the sealer |
| Nosing | Rounded edges resist chipping |
Permits for concrete steps and stairs in Redmond
Replacing private steps like-for-like often doesn’t need a permit, but stairs that are part of a deck, addition or larger project can, and steps that meet the public sidewalk touch right-of-way rules. Redmond’s Development Services Center makes the call for your property, and we’ll tell you what we expect before you commit.

Concrete Steps & Stairs in Redmond: quick answers
How much do concrete steps cost?
Other Seattle contractors publish about $2,500–$5,500 for a typical 3–5 step entry with a landing. Your quote depends on size, demolition and finish.
Do I need a permit to replace front steps?
Like-for-like replacement often doesn’t, but new stairs as part of a deck, addition or larger project, or work touching the sidewalk, can. We’ll tell you what applies.
How long until I can use new steps?
Light foot traffic usually after a day or two, with care. Full strength takes weeks.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Redmond?
Ground-level patios and walks are often exempt, but retaining walls over 4 ft from the bottom of the footing and anything in the right-of-way, such as sidewalks and driveway aprons, need permits. Redmond’s Development Services Center can confirm for your lot.
