Professional step repairs in Dedham that fix dangerous cracks, loose stones, and crumbling masonry before they become expensive foundation problems.
You get steps that won’t shift, crack, or separate from your foundation when Massachusetts weather hits. No more wobbling when you walk up to your door. No more water seeping behind loose stones, creating bigger problems down the line.
Your visitors notice the difference immediately. Clean lines, matching materials, and solid construction that looks like it belongs with your home. Steps that handle New England’s freeze-thaw cycles without falling apart next winter.
Most importantly, you’re not dealing with this again in two years. When we rebuild or repair your steps, we dig down to proper depth, use the right materials, and follow Massachusetts building codes so the work actually lasts.
We’ve been fixing steps and masonry problems in Dedham and the greater Boston area for over three decades. We’re the family-owned contractor that homeowners call when they need the job done right the first time.
We understand Dedham’s unique challenges. The town’s mix of historic homes and newer construction means we work with everything from original fieldstone to modern concrete block. We know which materials work best with your existing structure and how to match what’s already there.
Our team is fully licensed and insured, and we follow Massachusetts building codes including the 48-inch frost depth requirements that prevent foundation problems. That’s not just paperwork—it’s how we make sure your repairs actually hold up through New England winters.
First, we assess what’s actually wrong. Sometimes it’s just repointing mortar joints. Sometimes the whole structure needs rebuilding because the foundation wasn’t deep enough to begin with.
We dig down to solid ground—at least 48 inches in Massachusetts to get below the frost line. This prevents the freeze-thaw cycles that cause most step problems in the first place. We pour a proper foundation, then build up with materials that match your home’s existing masonry.
During construction, we protect your landscaping and clean up daily. The work typically takes 2-3 days for standard step repairs, longer for complete rebuilds. We walk you through what we’re doing and why, so you understand exactly what you’re getting.
When we’re finished, you have steps that are properly anchored, correctly sloped for drainage, and built to handle whatever New England weather throws at them. Plus a warranty that backs up our work.

Every step repair project includes proper excavation to frost depth, new foundation work if needed, and reconstruction with materials that match your existing masonry. We handle brick, stone, concrete, and combination materials commonly found in Dedham homes.
You also get proper drainage solutions. Many step problems start because water pools around the foundation. We grade and slope everything correctly so water flows away from your home, not into the basement.
Dedham’s historic district has specific requirements for maintaining the character of older homes. We work with natural stone, reclaimed brick, and traditional mortar mixes that meet both modern building codes and historic preservation guidelines. Our team knows how to source materials that blend seamlessly with existing structures while providing the structural integrity you need.
