Brick Porch Steps Rebuilt for Des Plaines Weather
Front stoops on Des Plaines bungalows take the worst of freeze-thaw and plow splash. Loose treads get a rebuilt foundation bed, re-laid brick, and tooled joints so the entry stops rocking underfoot.
Our process
- 1 What Is Actually Going Wrong Bricks loosen when mortar joints fail, allowing water underneath. Repeated freezing and thawing then shifts the entire step assembly. Ignoring it often leads to needing a whole new stoop instead of a simple repair.
- 2 How We Fix It We extract loose bricks, remove all failed mortar, repair any compromised base material, and relay everything with color-matched mortar. We slightly slope the treads so water sheds away. Most repairs are finished within a couple of days.
- 3 Keep It From Happening Again Once repaired, direct water away from your steps. Ensure downspouts discharge elsewhere and have the joints inspected periodically. Inexpensive upkeep is far cheaper than a major rebuild down the line.
- 4 Free On-Site Estimate Schedule a free, no-pressure estimate in Des Plaines and nearby IL communities.
