A Concrete Front Step TransFormation
This recent project involved the transformation of a client's worn-out front steps into a stunning stone feature. The client sought to enhance the visual appeal of their home while ensuring the steps were safe and durable. This undertaking required both aesthetic consideration and technical expertise to achieve a result that would stand the test of time and provide a welcoming entrance to the home.
“ Brett took my old worn stairs and turned it into a gorgeous stone piece. He walked me through the entire process and even helped me pick out the stone at the stoneyard. “
THE CHALLENGE
The original steps were in disrepair, with noticeable cracks and an outdated appearance. The challenge was to replace these steps with a structure that was not only beautiful but also functional and safe. The project required precise craftsmanship to ensure the new steps would seamlessly integrate with the existing porch and surrounding landscape.
MY APPROACH
To address the challenges of this project, I began with a thorough assessment of the existing steps and the surrounding area. I collaborated closely with the client to understand their vision and preferences. Together, we visited the stoneyard to select the perfect stone that would complement the home's exterior.
The demolition of the old steps was carried out carefully to avoid any damage to the surrounding structures. Following this, the foundation for the new steps was meticulously prepared to ensure stability and longevity. Each stone was then carefully placed, paying attention to both the structural integrity and the overall aesthetic
THE TRANSFORMATION
The transformation from the old, cracked steps to the new stone feature was remarkable. The before image shows the worn-out steps with visible cracks and an overall tired appearance. In contrast, the after image showcases the newly installed stone steps, exuding elegance and durability.
CLIENT’S ENDORSEMENT
The homeowner's satisfaction with the completed stone steps was best expressed in their own words:
“ Brett took my old worn stairs and turned it into a gorgeous stone piece. He walked me through the entire process and even helped me pick out the stone at the stoneyard. He communicated well, arrived on time and cleaned up after himself everyday! I cannot recommend Brett enough!”
