Do you really want to achieve a customized and visually appealing look for your steps and stairs? We are here to help you out. Steps and stairs have minor differences, but they serve the same purpose for everyone.
Construction base Types
Both steps and stairs have same construction types:
- precast concrete steps Tampa: The fastest way of installation is to manufacture off-site and deliver. Ensure consistent quality in a controlled environment, which is typically expensive due to manufacturing and transportation costs.
- Site-cast concrete steps: A low-cost and flexible design known as poured concrete steps. Framework and wet concrete were poured directly on-site. During concrete curing susceptible weather conditions are typically required for large and complex projects to maintain quality.
Designs of stair
- Straight run stairs: It is also known as common and flight stairs. Most common type of staircase without any turn or changes in direction that goes up from one level.
- L Shaped stairs: Another name is quarter-turn, return and right angle stairs. Resting point provides the flat landing at the corner turn and it clearly changes direction.
- U Shaped stairs: A half-turn staircase where two flights meet at an angle of 180 degrees and connected by a landing in the middle. For high volumes of foot traffic, it is recommended for buildings and public spaces, but customer preference matters for us.
- Slab-less stairs (saw-tooth): Open riser stairs don’t have risers between the treads. Its minimalist appearance makes them popular in architecture.
- Winder stairs: It is known as the dog-leg stair, a good option for limited space for home and building because it turns 90-degree (usually, but not always) from the middle of the stairs. It can be precast but due to potential space constraints we recommend site-cast.
- Spiral stairs: Helical stairs are in a circular shape, require less space, are ideal for tight spaces, and add a touch of elegance to your home, but they can be challenging when moving furniture or for people with mobility issues.
- Curved stairs: Serpentine and radius stairs have treads that are curved. The need for on-site customization and unique shapes is almost always site-cast.
- Cantilever stairs: Floating stairs that are supported one-sided create a modern look. Well-suited for precast as they manufacture in sections rather than assembled on-site.
- Deck stairs: Exterior or outdoor stairs are typically made of wood and treated lumber and used as a deck or patio for a house. Durability, versatility, fire resistance, and cost effectiveness make concrete deck stairs a popular choice.
- Split stairs: Bifurcated stairs have two flights diverging from a single landing. Precise on-site fitting and complex design are site-cast, save space, and create more interesting designs.
Designs of steps
- Bullnose Steps: The outer edge of the treads features a round, curved nose. It is ideal for gardens, outdoor patios, and indoor stairs because it is space-saving and good for drainage.
- Landing Steps: A flat platform between the stairs acts as a resting point and takes a break in climbing. It is well suited for longer stairs and provides a traditional and functional design.
making process
Our concrete steps Tampa contractors planned the number of steps we needed and designed the necessary permits. Then we evacuate the area with a proper drainage solution and make a strong foundation base with the help of gravel and stones. build a sturdy framework or define the shape of stairs with treads, risers, or stringers.
We did reinforcement, placed steel rebar within the framework, and mixed and poured concrete. In some cases, for minor adjustments, concrete cutting is used for precise modification and to add finishes to smooth the place. Once the concrete has fully cured after 3–7 days, we carefully remove the framework. Railing and handrails were installed for safety standards.
Material and finishing
Some people are bored with simple concrete stairs and concrete steps. Our concrete contractors add finishing and make modern looks customized; we can add lightning effects, exposed concrete, polished concrete, stained concrete, and combine concrete with wood or metal accents.

Our precast concrete steps are the most affordable option with basic design and finishing, followed by DIY-poured concrete. L-shaped, straight-run, and slab-less stairs are considered the cheapest type.
Due to complex design, labor costs, high-end finishing, and materials, helical and curved stairs are expensive.
20–25 MPa is suitable for low and moderate traffic indoor stairs; 30-35 MPa is recommended for high traffic areas; for heavy-duty commercial applications, we used 40 or above MPa.
