Concrete Stoop Replacement

Concrete stoop replacement in Grand Rapids

The front stoop is the first thing people step on and one of the first things they notice about a house. A stoop that is cracked, sinking toward the house or too small to stand on while you open the door is worth fixing. Tell us about your entry and a local contractor will follow up with a free written estimate for a new stoop and steps.

Planning a better stoop

  • Landing size: a landing should give you room to stand while a storm door or front door swings open.
  • Drainage: the landing should slope slightly away from the house so rain and snowmelt don’t run toward the foundation.
  • Steps: even risers and deep enough treads make the stoop easier and safer to use.
  • Railings: plan where handrails will mount before the concrete is poured.

Older Grand Rapids homes

Frequently asked questions

Can you make my stoop bigger?

Often, yes. A bigger landing may need a new footing and can affect drainage and setbacks, so mention the size you have in mind in your notes.

Should the stoop slope away from the house?

Yes, slightly. A small slope away from the door helps keep water away from the foundation and keeps ice from forming at the threshold.

Can a stoop be replaced in winter?

Demolition and precast work can sometimes happen in cold weather, but pouring concrete in freezing temperatures needs care. Your contractor will advise on timing.
