How to build custom basement stairs without using pre-cast concrete components
Building basement entrance stairs often relies on pre-cast units, but it is possible to pour them in place. This video demonstrates the process at the Saratoga house, showing how to prep forms and execute the pour for a custom result.
At the Saratoga project, Matt Whitbeck leads the effort to pour basement entrance stairs directly in place. By avoiding pre-cast materials, the team demonstrates a method for creating custom concrete stairs tailored to the specific site requirements.
Kevin O’Connor and Tom Silva assist with the essential preparation of the forms, which is a critical step in ensuring the structural integrity and shape of the concrete pour. This project highlights the craftsmanship involved in home renovation, providing viewers with the knowledge to either perform the work themselves or better understand the process when hiring professional contractors.
