Professional masonry services for Hempstead homeowners. Historic village center and county seat area
Hempstead homeowners choose Brothers Paving & Masonry for masonry projects that deliver structural integrity and lasting curb appeal in one of Nassau County's most historic and active communities. From stoop rebuilds along Front Street to stone veneer upgrades near Hempstead Lake State Park, we build masonry that handles Long Island's freeze-thaw climate while transforming the appearance of homes across this diverse village. Whether your property is a pre-war home with original brickwork or a recently renovated house needing a new entry, we have the skills and materials to deliver.
Our masonry scope in Hempstead includes stoop and porch construction, brick and block step systems, natural and cultured stone veneer, decorative columns, chimney repair, garden walls, planter walls, stone caps and treads, window sills, and custom masonry features. We work with every common masonry material — clay brick, bluestone, granite, brownstone, fieldstone, cultured stone, and concrete block — and help homeowners choose materials that fit their budget and style.
Every masonry structure we build in Hempstead starts below grade with reinforced footings at the 36-inch frost line. Air-entrained concrete, waterproof membranes, and properly rated mortar are standard. This discipline is what ensures your masonry investment lasts decades rather than deteriorating within years.
Hempstead is an incorporated village in the Town of Hempstead and one of the largest and most historically significant communities in Nassau County. The housing stock spans a wide range — from pre-war homes with original masonry facades to mid-century Capes and ranches to more recent construction and renovations. This diversity means Brothers Paving encounters every type of masonry project in Hempstead, from matching 1920s brick on a Tudor to building a brand-new stoop on a recently flipped property.
Hempstead's central location provides generally well-drained soil conditions, though areas near Hempstead Lake and the Southern State Parkway corridor can experience elevated moisture. Brothers Paving evaluates soil and drainage conditions at every property and designs foundations appropriate for the specific site.
As an incorporated village, Hempstead has its own building department with permit requirements for masonry work. Our team handles all permitting as part of the project — applications, plans, and inspections.
Hempstead is undergoing significant reinvestment and revitalization. Homeowners who invest in quality exterior masonry — rebuilt stoops, upgraded facades, and durable entry features — contribute to the community's upward trajectory while protecting their own property values. A professionally built masonry stoop is one of the most impactful exterior improvements available.

Learn MoreHempstead's soil conditions vary across the village — generally well-drained glacial outwash in the central and northern sections, with elevated moisture near Hempstead Lake and the park areas to the south. Brothers Paving adjusts foundation specifications based on site conditions. For most Hempstead properties, standard 36-inch reinforced footings with waterproof membrane provide excellent performance. Near the lake, we may add drainage gravel beneath footings and specify enhanced waterproofing. The village's diverse housing stock also means we frequently work with vintage brick and stone that requires careful matching.
