STONE STEPS
We all know what steps are. But, did you know that there are many ways a stone contractor can improve and fix a set of old or damaged steps? Most exterior steps are built out of concrete. Porches, basement steps, front steps, etc... This concrete, although strong, can fade or crack over time. Which creates a problem because the only way to properly repair concrete is usually a full replacement.We offer a better solution. We can patch and fix your concrete steps and then we can cover them with flagstone or a different stone. 
This, not only fixes the aesthetic issues with old steps, but it improves the look of the house by a big marging. Making your front entrance or your basement steps look better than they did when they were originally built. Stone steps 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 your new flagstone steps, gives us a call. We offer free estimates for all Montgomery County, Maryland!! |
