Stoops & Steps
Stoop repair, step replacement, and complete front entry rebuilds across Long Island — built to withstand our freeze-thaw climate.
Your front stoop is one of the most visible and heavily used features of your home. Long Island's freeze-thaw cycles, salt exposure, and age take a serious toll on masonry stoops and steps — causing cracking, crumbling, shifting, and safety hazards.
JZ Development specializes in stoop repair and replacement across Nassau and Suffolk County. Whether your stoop needs repointing and patching or a complete tear-down and rebuild, we deliver clean, lasting results using materials rated for our coastal climate.
Our stoop rebuilds start with a proper concrete foundation, followed by precision masonry work in your choice of brick, concrete pavers, natural stone, or bluestone. We install proper drainage, flashing, and railings (when required by code) to ensure your new stoop is safe, attractive, and built to last.
We also build and repair side entry steps, rear steps, basement entrance steps, and landing areas. Every step project includes proper footing depth for frost protection — a critical detail that many contractors overlook on Long Island.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does stoop replacement cost on Long Island?
A complete stoop replacement on Long Island typically costs $3,000-$12,000 depending on size, materials, and design.

Can you repair my stoop or does it need to be replaced?
It depends on the extent of damage. If the foundation is solid and the damage is limited to surface mortar or individual bricks, repair is often the best option. If the stoop is shifting, settling, has extensive cracking, or the foundation is compromised, a full replacement is the better long-term investment. We assess honestly and never recommend replacement when repair will do.
How long does a stoop replacement take?
A typical stoop replacement takes 3-5 days including demolition, foundation work, masonry construction, and cleanup. Complex designs or larger stoops may take up to a week. We minimize disruption by providing temporary access to your door during construction.
What material is best for front steps on Long Island?
Brick and bluestone are the most popular choices for Long Island stoops and steps. Brick offers a classic look and excellent durability. Bluestone provides a natural, high-end appearance. Concrete pavers are a versatile and budget-friendly option. We help you choose based on your home's style and your budget.
