They did a great job in a timely manner. The stairs look great and I would definitely recommend them.
Front Steps & Stoops Front stoops, garden steps, and entry treads in brick, bluestone, or granite — built level, plumb, and to code
The first thing a guest touches at your house. We build steps that don't shift, don't wobble, and don't read as patched-on five years later.
Front Steps & Stoops — what's included
Front stoops, garden steps, and entry treads in brick, bluestone, or granite — built level, plumb, and to code.
- Bluestone tread entries, three to seven risers
- Brick stoops with reinforced concrete substructure
- Granite slab treads and landings
- Code-compliant handrails: powder-coated steel or wrought iron
Front Steps & Stoops — start to finish
The four stages we run on every front steps & stoops job. Same workflow whether it's a small fix or a full install.
Tear-out and inspection
Old stoop comes off. We pull a brick or a riser to look at the footing — if it's cracked or undersized, that's a conversation before we pour anything new.
Footing and substructure
New footing below frost depth. CMU or poured-in-place substructure carries the load. Substructure has to be square before anything decorative lands on it.
Tread and riser set
Bluestone or brick treads bed on a 1-inch mortar setting bed. Risers shimmed for equal height. Each tread back-pitched 1/4 inch for water shed.
Railing and final pitch
Rail posts core-drilled and grouted (no surface mounts). Final walkthrough with a level so you can verify every step is square.

About front steps & stoops work
The four things people actually want to know before they sign an estimate.
How long does a front step replacement take?
A standard three-to-five-riser front stoop is typically three to five working days, weather depending. We can usually leave you with at least one workable approach to the door overnight.
Do I need a railing?
NJ residential code requires a handrail on any flight with four or more risers. We can build to that minimum or add a railing for a shorter flight if you want one — it's a code question, not a style question.
Bluestone vs. granite vs. brick — which holds up best?
All three last decades with the right substructure. Bluestone is the most common in North Jersey — it ages to a soft gray-brown. Granite is the hardest and resists salt damage best, which matters in our winters. Brick is the most replaceable course-by-course if a single one chips.
