Steps & Stoops
Rebuilding Crumbling and Heaving Steps in Toronto
Front steps and stoops take more punishment than almost any other masonry around a house. Snow is shovelled off them, salt is scattered on them, and water sits in every crack before freezing. Over time mortar joints open, stones loosen, concrete treads flake and the whole set of steps can tilt or pull away from the house. Uneven risers and loose stones are also a trip hazard for everyone coming to your door.
Toronto Roofing & Masonry rebuilds front steps, stoops and porch steps in natural stone, poured concrete or pavers. Where only part of a set has failed, we can reset loose stones and repoint joints; where the footing or core has moved, a rebuild is usually the lasting option. We explain the options that suit your home and keep risers consistent in height so the steps feel even underfoot.

Why choose us
Why Our Step Repairs Hold Up
Repair or Rebuild, Explained
We check the footing, core and joints, then tell you whether resetting and repointing will hold or whether a rebuild is the better option.
Even Risers and Firm Treads
Consistent step heights and solid treads make the entrance safer for everyone using it, in every season.
Detailing for Snow and Salt
Treads are given a slight fall so water does not sit and freeze, and we explain which materials cope best with salt.
A Final Review Together
When the steps are finished, we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.
