Replacing steps in Southbury
With newer housing (half built after 1977), Southbury step work is often deck-to-patio steps, garage entries and wider front steps with a stamped finish. Southbury mixes single-family homes (59%) with multi-family buildings that have more entries, so step work here runs from a three-riser stoop to the rear stairs on a three-family.
On a typical Southbury 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 Southbury was built in 1977, newer than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door Naugatuck (median 1971) and older than Oxford (1986).
