Replacing steps in Orange
Half of Orange's homes were built before 1963. Steps from that era were often precast or poured without a real footing, and by now many have settled, cracked or tipped toward the house. Most Orange homes are single-family (89%), so step work here is mainly front stoops, back-door steps and garage entries.
On a typical Orange lot, new steps get footings dug to 42 inches, rebar tied into the steps, and treads pitched just enough to shed water.
The median home in Orange was built in 1963, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door Ansonia (median 1954) and older than Shelton (1977).
