Rebuilding Damaged Brick Steps Before Another Roanoke Winter

Brick steps are among the most common masonry features we repair around Roanoke. Years of settling, moisture intrusion, deteriorated mortar, and freeze-thaw cycles can cause bricks to loosen, joints to crack, and entire sections of a staircase to shift.

Sometimes the visible damage is only part of the problem. If the base underneath the steps has settled, simply replacing a few bricks may not provide a lasting repair.

Roanoke Masonry evaluates the structure, foundation, mortar, brick, drainage, and surrounding concrete before determining the best repair method.

We can rebuild damaged brick steps, replace deteriorated mortar, repair porches, install stone or paver accents, rebuild retaining walls, repair walkways, pour concrete, and construct new masonry features.

For homeowners wanting to update an older entrance, we can also combine brick, natural stone, pavers, granite, concrete, and lighting to create a completely new look.

Quality masonry should look good, drain correctly, remain structurally sound, and complement the home.
