How Much Do Concrete Steps Cost in 2026?

Concrete steps cost $300-$500 per step for a standard 3-4 foot wide staircase. A typical 4-step front entry runs $1,200-$2,000. Wider steps (6-8 feet) for front porches cost $500-$800 per step. Prices include forming, pouring, and finishing.

Cost Per Step

Standard width (3-4 feet): $300-500/step. Wide entry (5-6 feet): $400-650/step. Full-width porch (8+ feet): $500-800/step. Landing/platform: $15-25/sqft additional. Handrail: $50-200/linear foot (aluminum, iron, or cable). These prices include forming, concrete, finishing, and cleanup.

Pre-Cast vs. Poured

Pre-cast steps: $200-500 per unit (delivered, set in place). Quick installation (same day), limited sizes, can look generic. Poured-in-place: $300-500/step, custom sizes, built to fit, stronger bond to foundation, unlimited design options. For 3+ steps, poured-in-place is usually preferred.

Replacing Old Steps

Removing old concrete steps: $500-$1,500 depending on size. Demo is expensive because steps are heavily reinforced. If the old steps are structurally sound but ugly, resurfacing with concrete overlay ($5-10/sqft) is much cheaper than full replacement.

Design Options

Broom finish (standard): included in base price. Bull-nose edge: add $5-10/linear foot. Stamped treads: add $5-10/sqft. Colored concrete: add $1-3/sqft. Exposed aggregate: add $3-5/sqft. Non-slip strips: $5-10 per strip. LED riser lights: $50-150 per riser.
