Replacing steps in Wallingford
Houses in Wallingford are mostly mid-century (half built before 1973), about when precast steps became common. After a few decades those tend to sink and pull away from the door. Wallingford mixes single-family homes (61%) 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 Wallingford 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 Wallingford was built in 1973, newer than the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than nearby Meriden, where the median is 1960.
