Porch stair rebuilds on early brick homes
Many Park Ridge porches still use original brick risers that have settled toward the sidewalk. We rebuild steps with proper pitch, match the bond, and reset landings so deliveries and guests are not stepping on rocking treads after a thaw.
Our process
- 1 We adore these classic steps So many homes around the North Shore feature lovely brick stoops that just need some TLC. Loose bricks and cracked joints typically mean water has infiltrated and frozen. The good news: addressed early, most brick steps can be repaired instead of replaced.
- 2 Handled with care, brick by brick We carefully lift intact bricks and set them aside, rebuild the base beneath, and relay each one with mortar tinted to match. For older homes, we use softer mortar that won't harm historic brick — a crucial detail. It requires patience, but that's how we'd want our own steps treated.
- 3 Safe for all who visit Sturdy steps matter when grandparents come for dinner or children dash to the door. We slope each tread so water drains off, and we'll note any other factors — like a nearby downspout — that could cause future issues. Then we clean up and leave your entryway looking cared for.
