STONE PORCHES
We all know what porches are. But, did you know that there are many ways a stone contractor can improve and fix an old or damaged porch? Most exterior porches or stoops are built out of concrete. This material, although strong, can fade or crack over time. Which creates a big problem because the only way to properly repair concrete is to usually do a full replacement. We offer a better solution. We can patch and fix your concrete porch and then we can cover them with flagstone or a different stone. This, not only fixes the aesthetic issues with old porches, but it improves the look of the house by a big marging. Making your front entrance look better for an affordable price. 
Stone porches can also be built from the ground up, creating proper footer and installing the stone on top of it. And since the stones can be cut to size and vary in colors and details, the posibilities are endless. This is not a recomended DIY project... So, if you need a professional stone contractor to help you install or repair your flagstone porch, gives us a call. We offer free estimates for all Montgomery County, Maryland!! |
