Why Concrete Steps Beat Wood Stairs Sacramento County
Most Sacramento homes built before 2000 have wood stairs rotting within 10-15 years from winter moisture and termite damage throughout Fair Oaks, Orangevale, and Citrus Heights.
Concrete stairs eliminate rot, warping, and squeaks plaguing wood alternatives.
Sacramento climate demands concrete. Temperature swings 35°F winter nights to 105°F afternoons warp wood creating dangerous gaps. Winter rains November through March saturate wood causing rot accelerated by Sacramento’s termite population. Metal stairs rust and become slippery when wet.
Properly constructed concrete steps last 40-50 years without rot, termites, or weather damage throughout Roseville, Folsom, and Elk Grove. Fire-resistant properties matter in California wildfire zones. Insurance companies prefer concrete eliminating wood’s fire risks.
Safety advantages throughout Sacramento. Textured concrete provides reliable traction during Midtown’s winter rain or East Sacramento’s morning dew. We build every step with consistent 7-inch rise and 11-inch run feet land exactly where expected preventing stumbles from uneven wood stairs common in older Arden-Arcade homes.
Property values increase with concrete stairs. Home inspectors flag rotting wood as immediate safety issues. Concrete steps pass inspection every time, appealing to buyers wanting low-maintenance Sacramento homes.
