Steps & Landings in St. James, NY

Exterior steps and landings connect different elevations around your home, from the sidewalk to the stoop, the yard to the porch, or a patio to a raised deck area. They endure constant foot traffic, direct weather exposure, and the full force of Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles. Cracked, uneven, or crumbling steps are among the leading causes of slip-and-fall injuries at residential properties, and the risks are compounded by winter ice on already compromised surfaces.

Brothers Paving builds and rebuilds masonry steps and landings that are structurally sound, code compliant, and finished with materials that enhance your home's appearance. We construct risers and treads from brick, concrete block, natural stone, or poured concrete, with landings sized to meet New York State building code requirements, typically a minimum of 36 inches in the direction of travel.

Our construction process begins with an evaluation of existing conditions, followed by demolition and excavation as needed. We pour footings below the frost line (approximately 36 inches on Long Island), build the step structure with consistent riser heights and tread depths, and finish with bluestone, brownstone, granite, brick, or natural stone caps. We use air-entrained mortar, install drainage behind and beneath step structures, and add code-compliant railings where required. Steps are integrated with your existing stoop, porch, walkway, or retaining wall for a unified look across Nassau and Suffolk County properties.
