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.
