"Corad Construction's work was done to perfection and we are deeply grateful and appreciative of how well Cornel, who owns Corad Construction, put himself into this project to ensure we'd love it. And we absolutely do love it and have gotten many compliments. We highly recommend him. We chose Cornel to do our major project because he came to our first interview having done his homework, and, because he does the work himself. He knew what design would best compliment our home's style and offered suggestions on how best to do the job. And, he did the work himself so there was no subcontracting. He is proficient in his work. Our project was, in part, to build a front walkway which curved up to a concrete front porch, with a flare ending at the porch landing, and, which began with a flair from the driveway. It also included rebuilding the concrete porch by pouring concrete over it to make it properly (the original builder never attached the landing to the house!) safe and attached to the house, going down several feet with concrete. He built up the porch landing with concrete, enlarging it, and covered it with gorgeous slate. He built concrete steps with slate covering and used beautiful slate to serve as veneer on all sides of the porch, including the steps. I cannot say enough or use words to do justice to express my witness of his strong and sincere dedication to ensure this job was done properly and professionally. His assistant was hard working and professional. Cornel kept us in the loop all along the way with the progress he was making and asked us for our feedback and decision making. Never rushing us in our decision making. In this day and age, to find such a professional who has the dedication to do the job well and with pride, and, to ensure we are happy, is rare. It exists in Corad Construction a hundred fold. We trusted Cornel would do the job exceptionally well, within budget, and to our great satisfaction. He told me ensuring the customer was happy was very important to him and I believe it guided his work. There are those who come to bid on a job who have no knowledge of how the work is done. They are salespeople. And then there is Corad Construction who does the work himself with precision and quality AND values his customers. His dedication to us was unrivaled. One rainy night he brought me slate samples since I could never see them myself at the shop in the daylight. He explained his recommendations well and made sure I understood the decisions I was making by being well-informed. He has been doing this work for many years and has been successful throughout. He came to our first appointment ready with ideas that would make our project as successful and beautiful as it turned out to be. As I mentioned, we needed our front walkway redone and our small, concrete porch landing enlarged and built up. Also, we needed several old bushes removed as they were in the way of the walkway that was to come. His ideas of how best to do the work made sense and put my husband and me at ease, knowing he knew what he was doing and would do the work with utmost professionalism and profound skill. And our happiness was always paramount to him. You will be in tremendously good hands with Corad Construction. And so very pleased with his amazing work. His resultant efforts have added value to our home and is a show stopper to those who drive by. Corad Construction is the one with whom to contract for excellent, exceedingly well-done work, with the customer's satisfaction at the heart of his efforts."

Most professional brick step replacements require three to five working days to complete. The process begins with demolition of existing structures, followed by foundation preparation, brick installation, and finishing touches.
Weather conditions, project complexity, and the contractor's schedule can all influence the timeline. Simpler projects with fewer steps may finish more quickly, while elaborate designs or unexpected structural issues could extend the process by several days.
Spring and fall provide ideal conditions for masonry work, with moderate temperatures that allow proper mortar curing. Summer installations may require special precautions to prevent materials from drying too quickly in extreme heat, while winter projects face challenges in freezing conditions that can compromise mortar integrity.
Beyond weather considerations, scheduling during a mason's less busy season might result in more attentive service and potentially better pricing.
Permit requirements vary significantly by location. Many municipalities require permits for structural changes to entrances, especially if you're modifying the size, configuration, or adding features like railings.
The permitting process involves submitting plans, paying a permit fee, and scheduling inspections. Professional contractors often handle these requirements as part of their service. Check with your local building department before beginning work to avoid potential fines or complications.
Maintaining brick steps involves regular sweeping to remove debris, prompt cleaning of spills or stains, and annual inspection of mortar joints for signs of deterioration. During winter, use calcium chloride-based ice melt products rather than rock salt, which can damage brick surfaces.
Avoid high-pressure washing, which may erode mortar joints over time. With proper care and occasional maintenance like repointing (replacing deteriorated mortar), quality brick steps can last decades before requiring significant repairs.
