What are the specifics I should be looking for in a quote to replace my concrete steps?
I'm not a concrete expert by any measure, but here are a few questions I would have about the job.  I'm not looking for you to answer them here - they are just questions you should know the answer to and possibly should be a part of the quote.


Are you sure you want the same rails replaced in the new steps?  Won't they be damaged when removed and if so, who pays for new rails/posts? Are they also replacing that stone "slope" the rails are sticking out of?
Does the current stair design meet all building codes or will it have to be modified to meet code?  Check on rise/run measurements, landing requirements, ok to have rails on just one side, etc.
Do you require any building permits or inspections to get this completed?  Who pays for the permits?
Are they hauling off and disposing of the old material?  You may be able to shop for cheaper demolition since that is unskilled labor.
Do you want a time estimate in addition to pricing?
