Masonry Steps, Porches & Walkways in Toronto and the GTA

Crumbling front steps and porches rebuilt, plus new masonry steps and walkways.

Front steps take a beating: water, salt, snow shovels and constant foot traffic. Once the treads crack or the brick starts to loosen, they become a tripping hazard and the deterioration speeds up every winter.

We repair and rebuild brick and stone steps, porches and landings, and build new masonry steps and walkways.

Steps, Porches & Walkways questions

Should I repair or rebuild my steps?

If the base is sound and the damage is on the surface, repairs can work well. If the steps have moved or the core is crumbling, a rebuild usually lasts much longer.

How long does a step rebuild take?

A typical front step rebuild takes a few days, plus time for the mortar to cure before heavy use.
