Expert masonry porches for Hempstead homeowners. Historic village center and county seat area
A masonry porch extends your home's living space outward, creating a functional area for relaxing, greeting guests, and enjoying the outdoors. Unlike a compact stoop, a porch offers a broader platform (often covered) with room for seating, planters, and architectural details like columns and railings. On Long Island, a well-built masonry porch adds significant curb appeal and real estate value while standing up to our coastal climate year after year.
Older masonry porches across Nassau and Suffolk County frequently show signs of structural distress: cracking floor slabs, leaning columns, crumbling step edges, and settlement pulling the porch away from the house. These issues create fall hazards and, at larger scale, risk structural collapse under load. The root causes (freeze-thaw cycling, water infiltration, shallow footings, and soil settlement) must be addressed at the foundation level for a lasting solution.
Brothers Paving designs and builds custom masonry porches using brick, natural stone, concrete block, and premium finishing materials. Our process includes on-site design consultation, complete demolition when needed, reinforced concrete footings poured below the frost line, structural masonry build-up, column and railing construction to code, and surface finishing in your chosen material, including brick pavers, bluestone, brownstone, or granite. We slope all surfaces for water runoff and use air-entrained mortar rated for freeze-thaw exposure. From permitting through final walkthrough, we manage every detail.
Hempstead is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Hempstead is one of Nassau County's most populous and historically significant communities, serving as the seat of the Town of Hempstead.

Hempstead's dense residential grid includes some of the oldest housing stock on the Hempstead Plain, with brick stoops, concrete porches, and stone steps dating to the early twentieth century. The flat terrain and mixed fill soils in this heavily developed area can vary widely from lot to lot, often containing construction debris from prior renovations that complicates excavation. Stormwater management is a particular concern here, as impervious surface coverage is high and municipal drainage capacity is sometimes strained during heavy rain events.
