Brick Steps Construction

What This Service Involves

Brick steps bring enduring, traditional charm to an entrance and hold up well when built on a sound base with proper drainage. We set brick over a reinforced footing and structure so the steps resist frost movement and the constant damp of our climate. Careful mortar work and sealing keep water from working into the joints and causing spalling. The result is a warm, classic approach that ages gracefully. We build to code with attention to safe, consistent step dimensions.
