Shared-entry brick steps made steady
Multi-unit and ranch entries in Skokie often share brick stoops that rock after frost. We rebuild steps brick-by-brick, match existing color ranges, and leave solid landings that hold up under daily foot traffic and winter salt.
Our process
- 1 We adore these vintage steps Numerous homes across the North Shore feature charming brick stoops that simply require some TLC. Loose bricks and fractured joints typically indicate water infiltration and freezing. The positive news: addressed early, most brick steps can be repaired instead of fully replaced.
- 2 Handled with care, one brick at a time We gently remove intact bricks and set them aside, reconstruct the underlying base, and relay each one using mortar tinted to match. For older homes, we employ softer mortar that won't damage antique brick—a crucial detail. It demands patience, but that's how we would want our own front steps treated.
- 3 Safe for every visitor Solid steps are important when grandparents arrive for dinner or children dash to the door. We slope each tread so rainwater drains off, and we will note any other factors—like a nearby downspout—that might cause future issues. Then we clean up and leave your entrance looking well-cared-for.
