Build Outdoor Steps - Cost Estimate
How is this for a set of steps? They need replacement. These steps failed because the foot of the stringer was resting on bare earth. When the wood rotted away, the steps crumbled.
To install these properly, footings need to be added at the bottom of the steps. A post for the railing was sunk to provide extra stability for the steps and rail.
This job required two trips to complete. The first trip was to remove the old steps, prepare and pour the concrete. The second to build the steps. The railing and the step surface materials were build using recycled redwood from a dismantled water tank.
Low estimate for materials and labor using recycled redwood:
- Redwood step stringers, post
- Concrete
- Misc. screws, nails, hardware
- Labor 6.5 hours
- Redwood step stringers, post
- Redwood 2x4 and 2x6
- Concrete
- Misc. screws, nails, hardware
- Labor 8.0 hours
