Solid, well-constructed concrete steps and landings are much more than an entryway; they’re the first impression of your property and an essential safety feature.
Whether you’re a homeowner, commercial property manager, or municipality, proper design and installation of steps and landings ensure durability, code compliance, and year-round performance in Oregon’s climate.
Why Invest in Professional Concrete Steps & Landings?
From residential front entrances to commercial access points and municipal walkways, steps and landings serve critical functions:
- Smooth Transition: Provides a seamless connection between levels and surfaces.
- Safe, Stable Access: Ensures reliable footing and accessibility in all weather conditions.
- Structural Support: Reinforced construction resists cracking, settling, and erosion over time.
- Aesthetic Integration: Complements landscaping, building façades, and surrounding walkways for a cohesive look.
Concrete Steps & Landings for Portland Area Property Owners
At Wallace Construction, we use our engineering-driven approach to create steps and landings that meet load, elevation, code, and finish requirements—from single-family homes to multi-unit developments and public facilities.
Our Step & Landing Installation Process
We follow a disciplined sequence to guarantee high performance and lasting value:
- Site Assessment & Design: We evaluate grade changes, soil conditions, drainage, and building codes (including rise/run dimensions) to integrate with existing structures.
- Excavation & Base Preparation: The area is excavated or cut, the subgrade is compacted, and base material is placed and graded for optimal stability and drainage.
- Formwork & Reinforcement: Custom forms are set to precise elevations, and steel rebar or mesh reinforcement is installed to strengthen the structure and control cracking.
- Pouring & Finishing: High-strength concrete is poured, leveled, and finished with attention to edge details, nosing, treads, and landings for safety and aesthetics.
- Curing, Jointing & Sealing: Proper curing is applied; control joints are placed; and surfaces are sealed or treated to withstand freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and heavy use.
- Final Inspection & Clean-up: We ensure the finished work meets all specifications, codes, and your expectations, then clean the site and conduct a final walk-through.
