Our 5-Stage Masonry Protocol

How We Rebuild Front Steps For Decades

01

Demolition & Structural Foundation Inspection

Chisel away loose, spalling concrete down to solid substrate. Drill and pin steel rebar into the existing foundation.

02

Cinder Block Masonry & Elevation Trueing

Lay high-density cinder blocks to form the structural stair steps, checking each rise and run with laser levels for code compliance.

03

Metal Lath & Scratch Coat Preparation

Fasten galvanized metal lath over the block, apply a polymer-modified scratch coat, and allow to cure for maximum mechanical key.

04

Hand-Laying Stone Veneer & Bluestone Treads

Back-butter each stone with high-bond exterior thinset mortar, hand-fit edges, and set 2-inch thick thermal bluestone treads with overhang drips.

05

Mortar Joint Pointing & Breathable Sealer

Point all joints with weather-rated mortar, strike joints clean, and apply a breathable silane-siloxane penetrating sealer.

Exterior Masonry & Step FAQs

Answers on stone veneer over concrete, bluestone tread benefits, and salt resistance.

Yes, provided the core structure is solid. We grind away old paint and loose concrete, repair any cracks with structural epoxy, fasten galvanized wire lath with concrete anchors, and apply a scratch coat before hand-laying the stone veneer. If the steps are structurally compromised, we rebuild the core with reinforced cinder blocks.
