No more wobbling on loose bricks or warning guests about that “tricky step.” Professional step repairs that match your Jamaica Plain home’s character perfectly.
You stop thinking about your steps entirely. No more testing each brick before putting your full weight down. No more embarrassment when friends visit or worry when elderly relatives come over.
Your steps look like they were built yesterday but match your home’s original character perfectly. The brickwork is so seamless that neighbors ask if you had the whole front redone. Water runs off properly instead of pooling in cracked mortar joints.
The peace of mind changes everything. Your family uses the front entrance without hesitation, and you actually look forward to people seeing your home’s curb appeal. That’s what happens when step repairs are done right the first time.
We’ve been handling step repairs throughout Jamaica Plain and the greater Boston area for over three decades. We understand what works in this neighborhood—repairs that honor the historic character while meeting modern safety standards.
We’re not the cheapest bid you’ll get, and there’s a reason for that. You’re investing in certified professionals who use quality materials and provide real warranties. We’re fully licensed and insured because that’s what responsible contractors do, not because someone made us.
Jamaica Plain’s unique mix of historic homes and modern expectations requires contractors who get both sides of that equation. We know how to source period-appropriate materials and use construction techniques that will handle Boston’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles for decades.
We start with a complete assessment of your step damage. This means examining the obvious cracks plus checking the foundation, drainage, and structural issues that might be causing the problems. You get a clear explanation of what needs fixing and why.
Removal of damaged materials comes next, and we do it carefully. Your landscaping stays protected, we clean up daily, and you maintain safe access to your front door throughout the project. We match your existing materials precisely—this isn’t guesswork.
The rebuild happens systematically. Any drainage or foundation issues get addressed first, then we construct your new steps to last. Every brick is set properly, every joint sealed correctly, and we don’t rush the curing process. When we finish, you get steps that look original but perform like new construction.

Our step repair service handles everything from simple mortar repointing to complete step reconstruction. Brick steps, stone steps, concrete steps, combination materials—we work with whatever your Jamaica Plain home has. If your steps connect to walkways or retaining walls, we coordinate those repairs seamlessly.
Jamaica Plain’s housing stock creates unique challenges. Many homes date to the early 1900s, which means finding materials that match and using techniques appropriate for the building’s age. We source period-correct bricks and use lime-based mortars when historically accurate restoration is needed.
Weather resistance is built into every repair. Boston’s climate destroys masonry—winter freeze-thaw cycles, spring storms, summer heat, and fall moisture all attack your steps differently. Our repairs include proper drainage, appropriate sealers, and construction methods designed specifically for New England’s weather extremes.
