Professional stoops & porches for North Hills homeowners. Affluent North Hempstead village, convenient North Shore location
North Hills is one of Nassau County's most desirable North Shore communities — an incorporated village of elegant homes set on rolling, tree-lined streets between Manhasset and Roslyn. The front stoop or porch is the architectural handshake between your home and the world, and in North Hills, it must reflect the refined character of the community. Brothers Paving & Masonry builds masonry stoops and porches that elevate your North Hills home's entry to match its surroundings, using premium materials and construction techniques designed for decades of North Shore performance.
Our North Hills projects include formal stoops with natural stone veneer and bluestone treads, elegant porches with brick columns and copper-capped details, and entry staircases that navigate the village's rolling terrain with grace. We work with brick, bluestone, brownstone, granite, and natural stone to complement architectural styles ranging from stately Colonials and Tudors to mid-century contemporaries and recent new-builds.
Every project begins with reinforced concrete footings below the 36-inch frost line, air-entrained mortar rated for freeze-thaw exposure, waterproof membranes on all below-grade surfaces, and premium finish materials set with polymer-modified mortar and sealed against moisture penetration. North Hills deserves masonry that lasts, and that is exactly what we deliver.
North Hills sits on the rolling terrain of Nassau County's North Shore moraine, with gentle to moderate grade changes across the village that add visual interest to the streetscape but require thoughtful foundation engineering for stoop construction. Properties with grade differences between the driveway and front door may need stepped footings, integrated retaining elements, or multi-step entries with landings. Brothers Paving designs every entry to work with the natural topography.
The housing stock in North Hills is predominantly upscale, with well-maintained Colonials, Tudors, and contemporary homes on generous lots. The village's proximity to Manhasset, Roslyn, and the Long Island Expressway makes it attractive to professionals who value quality neighborhoods and strong schools, which keeps property values elevated and motivates homeowners to invest in high-quality exterior improvements.
Many North Hills homes were built in the 1950s through 1970s, and their original stoops and porches are reaching the age where freeze-thaw damage, settlement, and moisture exposure create both safety concerns and aesthetic issues. A professionally built replacement stoop or porch is one of the most impactful upgrades available — transforming the first impression of the entire property.
North Hills is an incorporated village with its own building regulations. Building permits for stoop and porch construction may go through the village or the Town of North Hempstead depending on the scope of work. We navigate these requirements and handle all permitting as part of our project management.

Learn MoreNorth Hills' North Shore terrain is characterized by glacial moraine deposits — a mix of clay, sand, and gravel that can vary across a single property. Clay-heavy pockets are common on the rolling hillside lots and can trap water beneath stoop structures if drainage is not properly engineered. We excavate deeper and add drainage gravel layers where we encounter clay. The village's elevated, exposed location means stoops catch wind-driven rain from multiple directions, warranting polymer-modified mortar and penetrating sealers on all exposed surfaces. North Hills has its own village building code and may require permits separate from the Town of North Hempstead. We manage the permit process and ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
