Brick Step Rebuilds for Townhome Entries
Shared and private brick steps on Schaumburg townhomes loosen when water freezes in thin joints. We rebuild steps with matched units and solid beds so entries stay safe and association-compliant.
Our process
- 1 Why Brick Steps Fail Brick steps are vulnerable to water and frost. Failing mortar joints admit moisture; freeze-thaw cycles then loosen bricks and settle the foundation beneath them. Inadequate drainage at the stoop hastens all of it. Comprehending the cause is vital before relaying any brick.
- 2 The Craft of the Relay We meticulously lift and label sound bricks, reconstruct the base with a proper footing, and relay each course in mortar matched to the original in color, texture, and hardness. For historic homes we employ softer, breathable mixes that will not harm vintage brick. The finished work should be impossible to distinguish from the original.
- 3 Preserving the Repair A rebuilt step endures only as long as its drainage permits. We slope treads to shed water, seal the masonry where suitable, and advise on downspout placement near the stoop. Executed correctly, your steps will withstand another half-century of winters.
