Stone Steps & Stoops in McIntire District, Salem, MA
Looking for stone steps & stoops in McIntire District in Salem, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Salem and the rest of Essex County from our Boston base. Salem has some of the oldest masonry in the country. Historic lime mortar and correct joint profiles are non-negotiable here.
Housing in McIntire District in Salem includes older brick multi-families and colonials built before 1940, and road salt and plow damage every winter is what wears this masonry down. That is why our stone steps & stoops work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. Crumbling front steps are both a hazard and the first thing guests see. We rebuild stoops and landings in granite, brick, or stone with the risers even and the treads pitched to shed water.
Response time in Salem: Estimates within 48 hours · Typical range $2,400 – $12,000

Are you licensed and insured to work in Salem?
Yes. Ultimate Boston Masonry is licensed, fully insured, and family-owned with 5 years of experience on Greater Boston brick and stone.
Can my old steps be repaired instead of replaced?
If the footing is sound and the damage is limited to joints or a single tread, repair is often possible. Settled or cracked footings mean replacement.
Granite or brick for front steps?
Granite treads are nearly maintenance-free and handle salt well. Brick matches traditional facades but needs repointing over time.
