Expert masonry porches for Plainview homeowners. Mid-to-high residential, strong paving demand
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.
Plainview is located in Nassau County, Long Island. Plainview is a well-established residential community in central Nassau County, built largely during the post-war suburban expansion. The hamlet's streets are lined with ranch homes, split-levels, and Colonials, many of which are undergoing significant renovations and upgrades by a new generation of homeowners. Washington Avenue and Old Country Road frame the community, with residential neighborhoods branching off in orderly grids. Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District draws families to the area, and rising property values have fueled demand for exterior improvements. Driveway replacements are especially popular as original asphalt from the 1950s and 60s reaches end of life. Brothers Paving has completed hundreds of projects in Plainview, from full driveway reconstructions with proper grading and drainage to decorative paver walkways that modernize mid-century homes.
Whether you're upgrading an existing property or starting fresh, our masonry porches solutions are designed for Plainview's unique conditions, including Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, and local soil characteristics.

Plainview's postwar Levitt-style housing stock features thousands of homes with original concrete walkways and asphalt driveways now well past their serviceable lifespan. The flat Hempstead Plain terrain and compacted sandy outwash soils make for straightforward excavation and grading, though the shallow topsoil layer can complicate planting adjacent to new hardscapes. Freeze-thaw cycling combined with road salt tracked onto driveways is the primary cause of surface scaling and joint failure in this area.
