ECI: A Missouri Exterior Co. | Masonry by The Stone Men
Restore the Entrance You Use Every Day.
Your front steps should feel solid and look like they belong to your home. ECI evaluates damaged brick and stone steps, then recommends targeted repairs or rebuilding based on the condition of the entry.

More Than a Cosmetic Repair.
Loose masonry, worn joints, displaced treads, and uneven landings can make an entrance difficult to use and diminish the appearance of the home.
We examine the visible damage and surrounding assembly before defining the work. The goal is a repair plan that addresses the affected areas and produces a coherent finished entrance.
What We Can Evaluate.
- Loose or missing brick.
- Deteriorated mortar joints.
- Cracked or damaged stone treads.
- Displaced caps and landing materials.
- Damaged sidewalls or wing walls.
- Settled or deteriorating masonry sections.
- Porches and steps that may need reconstruction.
Repair the Section—or Rebuild the Entrance?
Some projects need localized masonry replacement and mortar restoration.
Others involve widespread deterioration or movement that makes a larger rebuilding scope more appropriate.
We explain the options, including how each approach affects the appearance and extent of the work.
Keep the Character. Improve the Finish.
Brick selection, tread material, joint profile, sidewall details, and transitions to the walkway all affect the finished entry.
We review these choices so the repair feels connected to the home rather than added as an afterthought.

Common Questions
Do all damaged steps need replacement?
No. The appropriate scope depends on the extent of the damage and the condition of the supporting construction.
Can you reuse existing materials?
Sound materials may be reusable where practical. We discuss their condition and the requirements of the proposed repair.
Can you coordinate the steps with a new walkway?
Yes. Include both in the evaluation so materials and transitions can be planned together.
