Repairs & Restorations for Steps and Columns
Over time, Nashville’s climate can take a toll on brick and stonework. Cracked mortar, loose bricks, or settling foundations can compromise both appearance and safety. We offer:
- Repointing & tuckpointing to restore mortar joints
- Rebuilding damaged steps or columns
- Replacing cracked or missing bricks and stones
- Structural reinforcements for long-term stability
In many cases, a repair or partial rebuild can save you money compared to full replacement — while still giving your steps or columns a fresh, updated look.
Frequently Asked Questions About Steps & Columns
Can damaged brick or stone steps be repaired, or do they need to be replaced?
It depends on the condition of the steps. Minor cracks, loose bricks, damaged mortar, or isolated areas of wear can often be repaired. However, steps that have significant movement, foundation problems, or extensive deterioration may require partial rebuilding or complete replacement.
We'll evaluate the condition of the steps and recommend the most practical long-term solution.
What causes brick or stone steps to crack or become uneven?
Steps can crack or shift because of settling foundations, soil movement, moisture intrusion, freeze-thaw cycles, poor drainage, normal aging, or improper installation.
Addressing the underlying cause is important to help prevent the problem from returning after repairs are completed.
Can you match the brick or stone on my existing steps or columns?
In many cases, yes. We work to find brick, stone, and mortar that closely match your existing masonry.
While older or discontinued materials cannot always be matched exactly, we strive to create repairs and additions that blend naturally with the original construction.
Do you build new front entry steps and porch columns?
Yes. We build custom brick and stone steps, entry columns, porch columns, and other masonry features for new construction, home renovations, and outdoor living projects.
Every project is designed to complement the style and architecture of your home.
How long do masonry steps and columns last?
Properly constructed brick and stone steps and columns can last for decades. Their lifespan depends on factors such as quality materials, foundation preparation, drainage, weather exposure, and routine maintenance.
Addressing minor damage early can help extend the life of the structure.
How much does it cost to build masonry steps or columns?
The cost depends on the size of the project, the materials selected, site conditions, design complexity, foundation requirements, and whether the work involves new construction, repair, or replacement.
We provide estimates based on the specific details of each project.
Are loose or cracked steps a safety concern?
Yes. Loose bricks, cracked mortar, uneven surfaces, or shifting steps can create tripping hazards and may become more serious over time if left unrepaired.
Having damaged masonry inspected early can often help prevent more extensive repairs and improve safety.
Can you repair only part of a brick staircase?
In many cases, yes. If the damage is limited to one section, individual steps or damaged masonry can often be repaired without rebuilding the entire staircase.
We'll inspect the structure and recommend the repair approach that provides the best long-term results.
Do you build decorative entry columns for driveways and entrances?
Yes. We build custom masonry columns for front entrances, driveways, gates, and landscape features.
Columns can be designed using brick, stone, or other masonry materials to complement your home's architecture and improve curb appeal.
What maintenance do masonry steps and columns require?
Brick and stone steps and columns generally require very little maintenance. Periodically inspecting for cracked mortar, loose bricks, water damage, or signs of movement can help identify small problems before they become larger repairs.
Keeping drainage away from the structure also helps protect the masonry over time.
