Front Steps veneer repair
In this project, I was tasked with repairing the front steps of a home. The client's goal was to enhance both the durability and aesthetics of their entranceway, ensuring it remained both functional and visually appealing.
The Challenge
The primary challenge was addressing wear and tear that had accumulated on the stone steps over time. The stone facade had become weathered, and the concrete surface of the steps had experienced some cracking, compromising both the appearance and safety of the entrance. The client needed a reliable, professional team to restore the steps without compromising the charm and integrity of the home’s exterior.

My Approach
From the start, I focused on clear communication with the homeowners to understand their needs and preferences for the restoration. My approach was to carefully repair the damaged areas without replacing the original materials, preserving the authenticity of the stone steps. After thoroughly inspecting the condition of the steps, I cleaned the surfaces, repaired cracks, and replaced sections of the stonework where necessary. Attention was given to seamlessly blending new stone with the existing structure, ensuring the steps looked cohesive and inviting.
THE TRANSFORMATION
The transformation of the front steps is evident in the before-and-after images. The once weathered and cracked stone steps have been revitalized with clean lines and a more polished appearance. The restoration process not only improved the structural integrity but also restored the original charm of the entrance. The newly repaired steps now complement the elegant porch area, creating a welcoming focal point for the home.
CLIENT’S ENDORSEMENT
The homeowner was delighted with the outcome, as expressed in their kind words:
"Just had a repair completed by Earth and Mortar. Brett and Faith are professional and it was easy to work with them. There was good communication throughout the process and appointment times were honored."
CONCLUSION
This front-step repair project highlights the importance of both skill and communication in delivering successful masonry repairs. Earth and Mortar’s approach ensured that the homeowners were fully satisfied with the outcome, as the restored entrance steps are now both sturdy and visually striking.
