No more patching the same cracked steps every year or worrying about someone getting hurt on your uneven stoop. Our step repair services ensure that your stairs are safe and durable, providing peace of mind throughout the harsh winter months.
You walk up to your front door without thinking twice about whether the step will hold or if someone might trip. Your steps look clean and level, matching the rest of your property instead of standing out as the one thing that needs fixing. When step repairs are done right, you stop getting that sinking feeling every time you see a crack getting bigger. You stop worrying about liability if someone gets hurt. You stop scheduling the same repair every couple of years because the fix actually lasts. That’s what happens when your steps are built to handle Newton’s freeze-thaw cycles instead of fighting them. The materials work with the weather, not against it, so your investment protects itself.
We’ve been serving Newton and surrounding communities for over 30 years. We’re a family-owned masonry contractor that understands exactly how New England’s harsh winters affect different types of stone and mortar. We’ve seen what works in Newton’s climate and what doesn’t. We know which materials handle the freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior repairs within a few seasons. Most importantly, we understand the specific challenges of working with Newton’s older properties while meeting current building standards. When you work with us, you’re working with contractors who’ve been solving the same problems your neighbors face. We’re licensed, insured, and committed to doing the job right the first time.
We start by inspecting your steps to identify not just the obvious damage, but the underlying issues that caused the problems in the first place. Most step failures happen because water gets where it shouldn’t, or because the original materials weren’t right for New England weather. Next, we remove the damaged sections completely. Half-measures and patches might look cheaper upfront, but they fail quickly in Newton’s climate. We prepare the area properly and source materials specifically suited for your project and our local weather conditions. During construction, we use techniques that work with Newton’s freeze-thaw cycles. That means proper drainage, appropriate mortar mixes, and materials that can handle temperature changes without cracking. We keep you informed about progress and handle any unexpected issues that come up. After completion, we clean up thoroughly and walk through the finished work with you. You’ll understand what we did and why, so you know your steps are built to last decades, not years.

Your step repair includes a complete assessment of the underlying structure, not just the visible damage. We identify drainage issues, foundation problems, or material failures that cause repeated repairs. You get a permanent solution, not a temporary patch. We use materials specifically chosen for New England’s climate. That means mortars that allow proper water movement while maintaining structural integrity, and stones that handle temperature changes without spalling or cracking. For Newton’s historic properties, we often use lime-based mortars that match original construction methods. Our repairs meet current ADA standards and Newton’s building requirements. Steps rebuilt to these standards typically last 24+ years before needing repair again, compared to patched repairs that often fail within 1-2 years. You get realistic timelines upfront, with small repairs usually taking 1-2 days and larger projects taking several days to a few weeks.
