Steps & Stoops across Ontario

Your front steps are the first thing every visitor touches. Build them to last and they lift the whole front of the house.

Overview

Why this service matters, and how we approach it.

Front steps take more abuse than almost any part of the building, salt, freeze-thaw, heavy foot traffic, and impact. We build them to handle it: steel-reinforced concrete cores with natural stone or cast-stone treads, proper drainage at the base, and frost-protected footings.

We rebuild crumbling concrete stoops, clad tired steps in natural stone or porcelain, and design new front entrances that match the style of your home.

Can you just re-clad my existing steps?
Sometimes, if the underlying concrete is structurally sound. If it's crumbling or shifting, re-cladding over it just hides the problem.
Do I need a permit?
In most Ontario municipalities, front-entrance steps on existing footings do not require a permit. New steps over 600mm high or with new footings may.
How long do the steps take?
A typical front stoop demo and rebuild takes 3 to 5 working days, with curing time between pour and cladding.
What cladding material lasts longest in Ontario winters?
Natural granite and porcelain pavers are virtually bulletproof, 50+ years with no maintenance.
Can you add or replace handrails?
Yes. We install wrought iron, aluminium or stainless steel handrails to Ontario Building Code.
