Connect different levels of your property safely and beautifully with custom concrete stairs and steps from A.C.M Construction. Serving Chattanooga and East Tennessee, we design and build concrete stairs that meet strict safety codes while enhancing your property’s appearance. From welcoming front entry steps to functional basement stairs and grand outdoor staircases, we create transitions that are both secure and attractive.
Concrete stairs require precise construction, proper rise and run dimensions, adequate landings, correct slope for drainage, and solid foundations. Our experienced team understands Tennessee building codes and ADA requirements, ensuring your stairs are safe, compliant, and built to last through decades of daily use and seasonal weather changes.
Custom-built concrete stairs designed for your specific needs and property. We calculate proper rise and run dimensions, build solid foundations, and create stairs that are comfortable to use and compliant with codes. Choose from simple functional designs or decorative finishes that enhance curb appeal.
Cracked, settling, or deteriorating stairs are safety hazards. We repair minor damage or completely rebuild stairs with failed foundations. Our repairs address underlying issues, not just surface problems, ensuring long-term stability and safety for your property.
Your home’s entrance makes the first impression. We build welcoming front steps with decorative edges, integrated planters, side walls, and provisions for handrails and lighting. Stamped patterns and custom colors create distinctive entries that showcase your home’s character.
Connect elevated decks to ground level or navigate sloped yards with properly designed concrete stairs. Wide, gradual steps feel safer and more comfortable than steep narrow stairs. We design stairs that fit your landscape while providing secure, weather-resistant access.

As a fully licensed and insured concrete company in Chattanooga, TN, your property is completely protected. We carry all required insurance and follow proper building codes for your total peace of mind.
Building codes specify maximum rise (step height) and minimum run (step depth) to ensure stairs are safe and comfortable. Residential stairs typically require 7-7.75″ rise and 10″ minimum run. We calculate dimensions precisely for each project to meet code and user comfort.
Wet stairs are slipping hazards. We apply textured finishes, broom finishes, or exposed aggregate to provide traction in all weather conditions. The texture is strong enough for safety but comfortable enough for bare feet on pool stairs.
Stairs exceeding certain heights require landings for safety. Landing size, placement, and slope are code-specified. We design stairs with appropriate landings that provide rest points and meet accessibility requirements for commercial properties.
Water pooling on stairs creates slip hazards and freeze damage. We design proper slope, drainage channels, and runoff paths to keep stair surfaces dry and safe. Correct drainage extends stair life significantly in Tennessee’s climate.
Don’t risk accidents with unstable or non-compliant stairs. A.C.M Construction has designed and built hundreds of concrete stairs throughout Chattanooga that combine safety, code compliance, and aesthetic appeal. Our precise engineering, quality materials, and attention to detail ensure stairs that serve your property safely for decades, backed by 15+ years of concrete construction experience.
Residential building codes typically require maximum 7.75" rise and minimum 10" run for safe, comfortable stairs. Commercial and ADA-compliant stairs have different requirements. We calculate exact dimensions for your specific application to ensure code compliance and user comfort.
Proper foundation preparation, adequate thickness, steel reinforcement, control joints, and quality concrete mix all prevent cracking. We also address drainage to prevent water infiltration and frost damage. Properly built stairs resist cracking for decades.
Minor cracks can be repaired, but settling or structural issues usually require rebuilding. During our free assessment, we'll determine if repair or replacement is the better solution. We never recommend temporary fixes for serious structural problems.
