Concrete steps, porches and front stoops carry foot traffic every day. They are also one of the first things people see when they walk up to your house. At Ready Reading Concrete, we build new concrete steps and stoops and repair or replace porch slabs for homes in and around Reading, PA.
We focus on solid support, safe riser heights and clean finishes so your concrete steps and stoops feel steady under foot and look like they belong on the house.
New Concrete Steps and Front Stoops
Good concrete steps start with the right layout. We look at door height, walks, driveways and grade before we set any forms. The goal is to keep risers consistent, treads deep enough and the stoop wide enough for normal use. We also plan how the steps tie into walkways or patios so you do not end up with odd gaps or tight corners.
When we pour new concrete steps and front stoops, we treat them as part of the entry system, not just a pile of concrete. We support them on solid base, tie them into nearby slabs or foundations where needed and finish them with a texture that grips your shoes in wet weather. We keep the design simple and strong so it holds up and stays safe.
Porch Caps and Concrete Overlays
Some porches do not need full tear out. If the structure under the slab is sound, we can sometimes cap or overlay it with new concrete. This can clean up rough surfaces and give fresh edges without removing the entire porch.
Common porch cap and overlay fixes include:
Capping a worn porch surface with new concrete
Rebuilding broken front edges and corners
Filling low spots that hold water at the entry
We look at cracks, movement and support first. If the porch moves or the base is weak, a cap is not the right fix and we will say so.
Safety and Code Details for Steps
Safe steps are more than just concrete in the right place. Riser heights need to be close to each other, and treads need enough depth so the step feels natural. We pay attention to these basic measurements and match them as we build. We also set space for handrail posts or blockouts where rails will be installed. The surface gets a broom or light texture to reduce slipping when the steps are wet.
Concrete Step Repair and Porch Repair
Not every step or porch needs full replacement. In some cases, concrete step repair or concrete porch repair can handle broken corners, spalled surfaces or loose nosings. We remove weak material, prep the area and bond new concrete or repair material where it will hold. Where the damage is deep, wide or tied to a failing base, we talk about replacing the steps or porch instead of patching them so you do not pay for a short term fix.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can cracked steps be repaired instead of replaced?
Hairline cracks and small chips can often be repaired. Deep cracks, loose treads or steps that have settled away from the house usually call for full replacement. We can look in person and tell you which side your steps fall on.
Can you match my existing porch or stoop size?
In most cases, yes. We can rebuild concrete steps and stoops to match the general size and shape of what you have now, or adjust them a bit to improve comfort and access. We check door swing, walks and grade as we plan it.
Do you pour steps and a new walk at the same time?
Often it makes sense to pour new concrete steps and a new front walk together. That way the heights, joints and finishes line up and you get one clean entry. We can price them as one job.
Will new concrete steps be slippery in winter?
We use broom or light textured finishes on concrete steps, porches and stoops to help with grip. You still need to clear snow and ice, but the surface will not be polished smooth.
