Precast steps in Edmonton

Concrete Steps and Precast Steps in Edmonton need to be replaced typically every 15-20 years, depending on the homeowner’s maintenance. This is due to the freeze that cycles in Alberta. Concrete steps have been known to require replacing in 2-5 years in some instances because salt or de-icing chemicals were applied to the surface, leading to degradation of the concrete material. In these instances, often repairs can be done; however, it all depends on the damage. Often repairs are a temporary fix that requires sealing and proper upkeep, or they will fail. We recommend that if ice builds up on your concrete, you use sand or fine course rock as an alternative to ice melt or salt. CONTACT US today to get your concrete step quote.
