Stair sizes in the residential code
Research at Cornell University found that treads narrower than 9 inches lead to the greatest number of tripping accidents. Waco has enforced the 2024 International Residential Code since January 1, 2026; the figures below come from the code's 2015 text, so confirm the current wording with the City's Inspection Services.
The landing outside an exterior door must be at least as wide as the door and 36 inches deep, and a porch or landing more than 30 inches above the ground needs guards 36 inches tall or more. Inspection Services counts a covered porch, like a deck, as a Residential Addition that needs a permit; for uncovered steps, ask the office before you build.
Where steps meet a patio or walk
NRMCA separates stairs from the drives and patios beside them with isolation joints, so each part can move on its own, whether the steps come down to a patio slab or meet a walk to the street.

Measure the rise
The free estimate measures the total rise to the door and works out the step count and landing size.
Form and pour
Waco sees 24.3 days of 100°F or hotter in an average year (NOAA, 1991–2020 normals), and ACI 305.1 caps concrete at 95°F when it leaves the truck.
Texture and cure
A textured finish, or anti-slip grit in the sealer, adds grip. In cold weather, fresh concrete needs protection from freezing until it hits 500 psi, roughly two days after placement.

Concrete steps and porch questions
How much does a set of concrete stairs cost?
Nationally, 5 to 10 poured steps come to $1,000 to $5,000 installed, and a precast set to $500 to $3,500 (2025).
What type of concrete is best for a porch?
The residential code's table gives porches and steps exposed to the weather a 28-day minimum of 2,500, 3,000 or 3,500 psi, rising with the weathering exposure. One steps guide adds a low water-cement ratio and adequate air entrainment, because step edges may chip and spall if the concrete is weak or badly cured.
Can you buy concrete steps already made?
Yes: precast steps come ready-made. National 2026 figures put them at $70 to $110 a step, against $200 to $400 for poured. Made or poured, steps answer to the same riser, tread and handrail rules.
