Your front steps are the first thing visitors use and one of the first things to show wear. StoneForge Paving & Masonry builds and rebuilds front stoops, entry steps and garden steps in bluestone, brick, pavers and stone, with even risers and solid footings.
Cracked, loose or uneven steps are a trip hazard and let water into the structure, which speeds up damage. New steps built with consistent riser heights, proper footings and slip-resistant treads are safer and instantly improve curb appeal.
We build steps in Stamford, Greenwich and Norwalk. Steps often connect to a paver walkway, a bluestone landing or retaining walls.
Options include bluestone treads and landings, brick steps, paver steps, natural stone slab steps and stone or brick veneer over a concrete core, with optional railings by others.
Cost depends on the number of steps and width, the landing size, the materials, demolition of existing steps and footing requirements. We give a free written estimate after a site visit.
We build steps to be safe and comfortable to use every day.
Common questions about rebuilding entry steps and stoops.
If the core is solid, loose treads and failing joints can often be reset and repointed. If the core has shifted or cracked, a rebuild is the safer long-term fix.
It depends on the height from the ground to your door. We calculate riser heights so every step is the same, which is safer and more comfortable.
Yes. A wider landing at the door makes it easier to open a storm door and greet guests.
Railings are installed by a specialist fabricator. We plan the steps so railings can be mounted securely.
Bluestone treads with brick or stone risers are a classic Connecticut look. Pavers and stone veneer over a concrete core are also durable choices.
