I just had a paver patio installed and had the builder re-install the old wooden steps that he removed to do the work. We did this as a cost savings measure since stone steps would've doubled the price of the project. Now with this nice new patio, our old steps look pretty decrepit. I would like to replace the steps I have with something similar, maybe using a composite decking material if possible both for looks and for longevity. Can anyone provide some insight for a do-it-yourselfer? There are only about four steps/stairs that make up the unit.

@Tester101 - I don't have the measurements with me at the moment but I'll update the question when I get home. – j08691 Jul 13 '12 at 19:38

A picture with dimension might be useful, if you are looking for a very specific answer. – Tester101 Jul 13 '12 at 20:14

5most home centers sell precut stringers which is typically the tough part for a novice. – mikes Jul 14 '12 at 01:12

Your local home improvement store may have prefab/precut stair case parts for decks and they about the size you mention (3-4 steps). You can purchase the stringers, and treads and attach them in place of your old stairs.

If you are looking for Prefab Stairs - you could search google for "Prefab Stairs", there should be something for your area.
Or Make your own deck steps like the following: (DIY LINK)
