The work gets done efficiently without dragging out for weeks. Most step repair projects wrap up faster than you’d expect because our focus stays on getting quality work done right the first time.
We’ve been handling stonework throughout Brighton and the greater Boston area for over 30 years. We understand how New England weather attacks masonry and what it takes to build structures that last.
We’re licensed, insured, and familiar with local building codes. More importantly, we’ve seen what happens when masonry work is done wrong – and we know how to fix it properly.
Brighton’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on steps. We’ve repaired countless stoops damaged by ice, snow, and the temperature swings that make mortar crack and stones shift. That local experience matters when you need repairs that actually hold up.
First, you get an honest assessment of what’s actually wrong. No dramatic sales pitch about imminent collapse, just a clear explanation of the issues and what needs fixing.
Our estimate breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before any work starts.
Once the project begins, we show up when we say we will and clean up after ourselves daily. We remove damaged mortar, replace cracked stones or bricks, and rebuild sections that have shifted or settled. The materials we use are chosen specifically to handle Brighton’s weather conditions.
Quality masonry work requires temperatures above freezing for proper mortar curing, so we plan accordingly. Emergency repairs like temporary weatherproofing can be done year-round, but full reconstruction waits for proper weather conditions.

We use durable materials like natural stone, brick, and concrete that can withstand New England weather. The choice depends on your existing structure, budget, and aesthetic preferences.
Repointing works when the masonry units are still solid but the mortar has failed. It’s like getting new grout – same stones, fresh joints. Rebuilding becomes necessary when stones are cracked, bricks are spalling, or the structure has shifted significantly.
Brighton’s weather is particularly hard on steps because they’re exposed to the full freeze-thaw cycle. Water seeps into small cracks, freezes, expands, and widens those cracks. We address both the immediate damage and the underlying drainage issues that cause problems to return.
Simple repairs like fixing a few loose stones might take a day or two. Repointing typically takes 2-4 days. Major reconstruction can stretch 1-3 weeks, depending on the scope and weather conditions.
