Professional masonry services for Levittown homeowners. Historic first American suburb with renovation demand
Levittown homeowners trust Brothers Paving & Masonry for masonry that finally replaces the aging, failing original features that have defined this community's homes for over seven decades. From stoop rebuilds along Hempstead Turnpike to stone veneer transformations in the neighborhoods near Levittown Memorial Education Center, we bring expert craftsmanship and frost-line engineering to America's most iconic suburban community. Levittown's original homes were built fast — Brothers Paving builds their replacements to last.
Our masonry services in Levittown include stoop and porch construction, brick and block step systems, natural and manufactured stone veneer, decorative columns, chimney repair, garden walls, planter walls, stone caps and treads, window sills, and custom masonry features. Materials range from traditional clay brick to stacked stone veneer, Pennsylvania bluestone, granite, brownstone, and cultured stone from Eldorado and Boral — giving Levittown homeowners options to either restore the original look or modernize entirely.
Every masonry structure in Levittown starts with reinforced concrete footings at the 36-inch frost line — the one detail most original Levittown masonry got wrong. We pour with air-entrained concrete, build with severe-weather-rated mortar, waterproof every junction, and tool every joint for maximum water shedding. The result is masonry that will still be performing when the next generation owns the house.
Levittown is Long Island's most iconic post-war community — 17,000 homes built between 1947 and 1951 in a range of standardized floor plans that have since been expanded, renovated, and adapted by successive generations of homeowners. The original construction prioritized speed and affordability: stoops were poured on shallow footings, entry features used economy materials, and mortar mixes were basic. After 75 years of Long Island weather, the vast majority of original masonry features in Levittown are past their useful life.
Levittown sits on flat glacial outwash that drains well in most areas — favorable conditions for masonry foundations. The uniformly flat terrain means drainage depends entirely on proper grading rather than natural slopes. Brothers Paving addresses this by ensuring positive pitch away from every structure and installing catch basins or channel drains where lot constraints prevent adequate slope.
Levittown falls within the Town of Hempstead for building permits. Our team handles all permitting as part of every project.
Levittown's housing market has evolved significantly — many homes have been expanded, modernized, and updated by homeowners investing in the community's strong schools and central location. A rebuilt masonry stoop or stone veneer facade upgrade is one of the most effective ways to modernize a Levittown home's street presence and signal quality to potential buyers in an increasingly competitive market.

Learn MoreLevittown's flat terrain and well-drained glacial outwash create favorable conditions for masonry foundations. The primary challenge is the uniformly flat topography — without natural slopes, every inch of drainage must be deliberately engineered. Brothers Paving ensures a minimum quarter-inch-per-foot pitch away from every stoop and wall. For Levittown homes where decades of landscaping and grading changes have created negative drainage toward the foundation, we regrade the entry area as part of the masonry project to permanently solve water management.
Real projects we've completed for Levittown homeowners.
Demolished the original 1948 poured concrete stoop with a 12-inch footing that had heaved and separated from the house. Poured new 36-inch reinforced footings tied to the foundation, built CMU core, faced with tumbled colonial brick, and capped with bluestone treads. Added a stone veneer accent panel and new aluminum railings. The project transformed the entire street-facing appearance.
Scope: Full stoop rebuild, deep footings, bluestone treads, veneer accent, railings
Rebuilt the stoop, installed stone veneer across the foundation wall, built two new columns at the walkway, and replaced the old concrete walkway with a paver path connecting the stoop to the driveway. Used Eldorado Stacked Stone veneer and Cambridge pavers for a cohesive modern look on a 1949 ranch.
Scope: Stoop rebuild, 250 sq ft veneer, two columns, paver walkway
