Project Overview
Best Construction Choice Inc., a premier residential construction firm, completed an impressive backyard steps renovation in Scarsdale, NY, transforming a 10-step access point to a sloped backyard. Specifically, this project replaced an outdated metal staircase with a durable wooden structure, enhancing safety and aesthetic appeal for the homeowner. Consequently, our team delivered on schedule and within budget, showcasing top-tier craftsmanship, innovative design, and client satisfaction.

Construction Scope
The backyard steps project involved replacing an existing metal staircase with a new wooden design, from initial assessment to final inspection. Initially, our team evaluated the site to ensure slope stability and proper drainage. Then, we collaborated with the client to select pressure-treated wood and modern black railings for durability and style. Next, construction progressed through these steps:
Permitting and Preparation: First, we secured Scarsdale municipal permits in seven days. Subsequently, we removed the old metal stairs and prepared a stable foundation.
Installation Phases:
- To start, we laid a compacted gravel base for structural integrity.
- Following that, our team installed wooden steps with painted risers and secure railings.
- Moreover, we added anti-slip treads for enhanced safety.
Finishing Details: Finally, we applied weather-resistant sealant and conducted a thorough cleanup.
As a result, the project met International Residential Code (IRC) standards, ensuring safe and long-lasting access.

Project Achievements
- Timeline Success: For example, we completed the steps renovation in two weeks, meeting the client’s fall deadline.
- Budget Efficiency: Additionally, our team stayed within the $15,000 budget, saving 5% through efficient resource use.
- Safety Improvements: Furthermore, the new design eliminated rust hazards and added slip-resistant surfaces.
- Client Delight: Most notably, the homeowner gave a 5-star review, saying, “The new steps are a game-changer—Best Construction Choice exceeded our hopes.”
