Concrete Steps in Medina, OH: New Steps, Replacement and Repair
Front Steps, Back Steps, Landings and Stamped Steps for Homes Around Medina, Akron and Cleveland
Concrete Step Contractor for Medina and Northeast Ohio
If your concrete steps in Medina are cracked, sinking or pulling away from the house, call Kingdom Concrete at (216) 551-8835. We pour new concrete steps and landings and repair or replace old ones for homeowners in Medina, Akron, Cleveland, Parma, Brunswick, Wadsworth and nearby towns. Steps take more abuse than any other concrete around a house: rain runs down them, salt sits on them all winter, and the ground under them moves with the frost.
Most calls come from steps that have tipped, cracked across the tread, or chipped at the edges until they are a trip hazard. Sometimes a repair is enough, and sometimes the steps need to come out and be poured new. Kingdom Concrete also pours patios and walkways, so new steps can be built to match the surface they lead to.

Concrete Step Work We Can Help With
New Front Steps and Landings
Front steps are the first thing visitors walk on, and they have to be safe in every season. Each riser should be the same height, because one uneven step is the one people trip on, and the landing at the door should be large enough to stand on while the storm door swings open. A broom finish gives grip on wet and icy days.
Concrete Step Replacement
Steps that have sunk, split through or separated from the house usually need to be torn out and rebuilt. The old steps are broken out, the base is rebuilt and compacted, and new steps are formed and poured with reinforcement. One customer wrote that Marshall worked with them to rework their front steps along with a new driveway and parking pad.
Step Repair and Resurfacing
Chipped edges, hairline cracks and a worn surface can often be repaired or resurfaced instead of replaced, as long as the steps are still solid and haven't moved. Repairing early keeps water from getting in and freezing, which turns small chips into broken treads within a winter or two.
Stamped Steps and Steps for Patios
Steps from a sliding door or deck down to a patio are often poured with the patio, so they share the same finish. Stamped steps can match a stamped patio or walkway, and curved steps can follow a rounded patio edge. The photos on this page include stamped steps at a walkout basement and curved steps on a flagstone-pattern patio.

How New Concrete Steps Are Built
Good steps start with careful measuring and a solid base.
- Step 1
Measure the Rise
The total height from the door or landing to the ground is measured and divided into equal risers, with treads deep enough for a full footstep.
- Step 2
Base, Forms and Steel
The ground is dug out and filled with compacted gravel, forms are built for each step, and rebar is placed so the steps hold together as one piece.
- Step 3
Pour, Finish and Cure
The concrete is poured, the edges are tooled smooth, and the treads get a broom finish for grip. The forms come off once the concrete can hold its shape.
What Customers Say About Our Work
- J. K.Google review
Marshall was great. He listened to everything we had to say, he asked a lot of questions, made sure everything was clear and understood, and then delivered exactly what was asked for. Worked with me to make a few rain drainage repairs and rework my front steps. Timing of the job was perfect, began and finished exactly on time. New driveway and parking pad look wonderful.

We hired Kingdom Concrete for our driveway, walkway, and patio project, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Marshal and his team were professional, communicative, and always willing to answer any questions or concerns we had. Their attention to detail and quality of work exceeded our expectations. We plan to add a step-down patio in the future and will definitely be using Kingdom Concrete again. Highly recommend!

Why Hire Kingdom Concrete for Your Steps
Steps That Match the Rest of the Job
Steps are often part of a bigger project, such as a new walkway, a patio or a driveway. Because we pour all of those, the steps can be planned with the surfaces around them, with matching finishes and heights that line up. One customer wrote that we took the time to understand exactly what they wanted and offered suggestions that improved the project.
The Person Who Prices the Job Does the Work
Marshall started Kingdom Concrete to provide for his family, and he is out in the field on most jobs, forming, pouring and finishing with the crew. Too many contractors sell the job, take the money and send someone else to do it. When you call us about your steps, the person you talk to is the person who shows up.
Clear Answers Before, During and After
Customers say in review after review that Marshall listens, asks a lot of questions and stays available before, during and after the job. You'll know what is being done and when, and if something changes once the old concrete is out, you'll hear about it before the work goes on.

It depends on the number of steps, the width, the size of the landing, the finish and whether old steps have to be removed. We'll look at the spot and give you a clear estimate for your job.
Repair works when the steps are solid and level with only chips or surface cracks. If they have sunk, tipped or pulled away from the house, replacement is the lasting fix.
Usually the ground under the steps has settled or washed out, often from a downspout or poor drainage nearby. The steps sink and tip away from the foundation. Rebuilding on a compacted base and redirecting the water fixes it.
Tearing out and forming usually takes a day or two, and the pour itself is quick. The steps need a few days to cure before regular use, and we'll tell you when they're ready.
Residential codes set a maximum riser height of around seven to eight inches, and every riser in a set should be the same height. Treads should be deep enough for a full footstep.
Yes. Steps can be stamped in the same pattern as a patio or walkway nearby, so the whole area reads as one surface. A stamped tread still needs enough texture for grip.
Skip rock salt for the first winter, use sand or a gentler de-icer instead, and keep the steps sealed. Pointing downspouts away from the steps also keeps water from washing out the base.
Yes. We pour steps from doors, decks and walkouts down to patios, often in the same pour as the patio so they share the same finish.
Yes. When steps are replaced, the new set can be wider or have a larger landing at the door, which makes the entry safer and easier to use.
Building codes generally require a handrail once a stair has four or more risers. Your city's building department can tell you the rule for your address.
