Professional stoops & porches for East Hills homeowners. Upscale village, hilly terrain, spacious properties
East Hills is an incorporated village in the heart of Nassau County where spacious homes on generously sized lots set a high standard for exterior quality. Brothers Paving & Masonry builds and rebuilds masonry stoops, porches, steps, columns, and stone cap details for East Hills homeowners who expect their front entry to match the premium character of this community. From elegant Colonials along Harbor Hill Road to custom contemporaries near the village parks, our entries are designed to complement each home's architecture and built to withstand decades of Long Island weather.
East Hills properties often feature substantial front entries with multiple risers, wide platforms, and architectural details like columns, planters, and custom railings. When these entries deteriorate, the impact on curb appeal is significant because the stoop or porch occupies such a prominent position in the facade. We rebuild these entries to their full architectural potential, often improving upon the original design with better materials, wider platforms, and integrated lighting.
Our construction process is consistent across every East Hills project: reinforced concrete footings below the 36-inch frost line, concrete masonry unit build-up with waterproof membrane and drainage, and premium finish materials installed with air-entrained mortar. This engineering foundation is what separates a stoop that fails in five years from one that performs for fifty.
East Hills sits on rolling terrain characteristic of the northern Hempstead Plains transition zone, with properties that range from gently sloped to significantly graded. This topography means many homes have elevated entries with four to six risers and substantial stoop platforms, increasing the structural demands on footings and the visual prominence of the entry in the overall facade.
The village's housing stock includes mid-century Colonials, ranches, and split-levels alongside newer construction and major renovations. Original stoops from the 1950s and 1960s frequently show advanced deterioration: settled platforms, horizontal and vertical cracking through the structure, spalled brick surfaces, and mortar joints that have eroded to the point where water flows freely into the core.
East Hills is served by the Roslyn Union Free School District, one of Long Island's most prestigious, which maintains strong property values throughout the village. Homeowners here understand the return on investment from quality exterior improvements, and a professionally built masonry entry delivers one of the strongest value signals visible from the street.
The village's generous lot sizes typically provide excellent access for equipment and materials, and the established streetscape of mature trees, manicured lawns, and quality hardscape sets a context where a new stoop or porch must meet a high visual standard to look appropriate among its neighbors.

Learn MoreEast Hills is an incorporated village with its own building department, separate from the Town of North Hempstead. Stoop and porch projects typically require a building permit, particularly when new footings are poured or the structure's footprint is altered. We handle all permit applications and inspection coordination. The village's rolling terrain requires attention to surface drainage around entries, and we engineer positive grading away from every stoop foundation, supplemented with subsurface drainage where natural runoff is constrained by adjacent landscaping or hardscape.
