Concrete Step & Stoop Lifting
Settled steps tilt, wobble, and pull away from the house. We lift and stabilize both single steps and full sets.
Concrete steps are heavy, and erosion can remove the soil that supports them. They sink as a unit, tilt backward toward the door, and open a gap at the house that swallows water.
Polyurethane goes under the structure and brings it back up level, closing the gap and giving the steps solid support. The polyurethane we use weighs about 4 pounds per cubic foot, providing sturdy support for residential through industrial applications.
Signs it’s time
- Steps tilting back toward the door
- A gap between the top step and the house
- Handrail posts pulling loose from movement
- Bottom step sinking into the grade
Planning your concrete repair
We inspect the stoop or step unit, the landing, and the height of the transition at the door. We also look for cracks, separation, and connections to the building or handrails that could limit movement during lifting.
When a different repair may be needed
Raising a step unit does not repair damaged handrails or reconstruct broken treads. Steps attached to the building may need a different approach from freestanding concrete. Our visit establishes whether lifting can improve the entry safely.
What affects the cost?
The area of concrete, the amount of settlement, the space beneath the slab, and access to the work all affect the quote. We inspect and measure your project in person, then email a written quote. There is no job minimum, and we do not estimate from photos alone.
Our polyurethane lifting process uses ⅜-inch injection holes and foam weighing about 4 pounds per cubic foot. We discuss the expected lift, patching, and return to use for your particular project before scheduling the work.
Can a sunken front stoop be raised?
A sound, settled concrete stoop may be suitable for polyurethane lifting. We evaluate its construction, support, and relationship to the doorway before recommending a repair. See the gallery for actual Level Up entry and stoop projects.
