Concrete Steps in Winnipeg
If your concrete steps in Winnipeg have pulled away from the house or started to sink, Concrete Winnipeg rebuilds front and back entry steps on proper frost-depth footings so they stay level, safe and tight to your door.
What's Included in Your Steps
Steps fail when their footing is too shallow for frost, so we build from the ground up. We excavate footings below the frost line, pour a solid base, and form the steps with correct rise and run for safe, comfortable use. We reinforce with rebar and tie the steps to the house or landing so they move as one unit.
We pour 32 MPa air-entrained concrete, finish the treads with a broom texture for grip, edge cleanly, and seal. Where steps meet a walkway or porch we pin the sections together. The finished steps are level, solid underfoot, and built to stay that way through Manitoba winters.
Common Signs You Need This Service
- Steps that have separated from the house and left a gap
- Sinking or tilting treads that no longer sit level
- Cracked or crumbling edges and spalling surfaces
- Risers that have shifted enough to feel unsafe
Our Process
- Free estimate. We assess the entry, confirm rise and run, and give a written price.
- Footings below frost. We dig footings deep enough to sit below the frost line.
- Form and reinforce. We form the steps and landing and set rebar, tying into the structure.
- Pour and finish. We place 32 MPa concrete, broom finish the treads, and edge.
- Seal and cleanup. We seal the surface and leave a safe, finished entry.
Step Finishes and Add-Ons
Most steps get a practical broom finish for traction in ice and snow. For a more finished entry we also pour exposed aggregate and coloured steps, and we can match a stamped or decorative patio or walkway. Railings can be anchored into the concrete, and we set sleeves or anchors at pour time when you know the railing layout.
Getting the rise and run right is both a safety and a comfort issue. Consistent step heights prevent trips, and we build to comfortable, code-appropriate dimensions rather than whatever the old, failed steps happened to be.
Winnipeg Context
The reason so many Winnipeg steps sink and pull away from the house is frost. Manitoba frost can penetrate 6 feet or more in a hard winter, and steps set on shallow footings ride that frost up and down until they separate. The fix is footings that reach below the frost line, which is exactly how we build every set of steps so they stay tight to your entry.
What Affects Your Price
Step pricing depends on the number of steps, the width, footing depth, whether a landing is included, the finish, and site access. A simple two-step entry costs less than a wide staircase with a large landing and railings. We give free written estimates. Rebuilding sinking steps on proper footings is far more durable than mud-jacking or patching steps that will simply move again.

What Winnipeg Customers Say
“Our old driveway was cracked and heaving. Concrete Winnipeg tore it out, rebuilt the base and poured a new one in a few days. Two winters later it still looks perfect.”Dave M.River Heights
“Booked them for a garage pad and a walkway. Fair quote, showed up when they said, and cleaned up after. Exactly what you want from a contractor.”Sandra L.St. Vital
“We got a stamped concrete patio and it looks like natural stone for a fraction of the cost. Neighbours keep asking who did it.”Mark and Jen T.Charleswood
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do concrete steps pull away from the house?
Shallow footings. When footings do not reach below the frost line, frost lifts the steps each winter until they separate from the structure. We build footings below frost depth so it does not happen.
Can you add a railing to new steps?
Yes. We set anchors or sleeves for railings at pour time when the layout is known, giving a solid, safe mount in the concrete.
Can you match steps to my patio or walkway?
Yes. We can broom finish for grip or match an exposed, coloured or stamped finish so the entry ties into your other flatwork.
Is it better to repair or replace sinking steps?
If the footing has failed, replacement on proper footings lasts. Patching or lifting steps with a bad footing usually buys only a season or two before they move again.
