Professional stoops & porches for West Hempstead homeowners. Affordable central Nassau residential community
West Hempstead is a densely settled Nassau County community where well-kept homes line streets with barely a gap between them — and that means your front stoop is on full display for every neighbor, visitor, and potential buyer who passes by. A crumbling or settling stoop does not just create a tripping hazard; it drags down the appearance of the entire block. Brothers Paving & masonry constructions and rebuilds masonry stoops throughout West Hempstead, delivering safe, attractive entries built to last on Nassau County's dense suburban lots.
Our West Hempstead projects prioritize efficient, high-quality work on compact lots: proper demolition and disposal of the old stoop, reinforced footings poured below the frost line, masonry construction with air-entrained mortar, and finish materials that match your home and neighborhood. We work with brick, bluestone, brownstone, natural stone, and concrete block, offering options at every price point.
We also specialize in porch construction and construction for West Hempstead's many Cape Cod and Colonial homes, where a front porch can add both functional outdoor space and significant curb appeal even on a compact lot.
West Hempstead sits on the Hempstead Plains outwash — flat terrain with sandy-loam soils that drain reasonably well. The flat topography simplifies stoop construction but demands precise surface grading to ensure proper drainage. On West Hempstead's compact lots, getting drainage right is especially important because the space between the stoop and the neighbor's property line is often just a few feet — water cannot be directed onto adjacent properties.
Most homes in West Hempstead were built between the 1940s and 1970s, and the community has a strong presence of Cape Cods, Colonials, and ranches. The original stoops on these homes are 50 to 80 years old, and many have exceeded their useful life. Cracked treads, crumbling mortar, settled footings, and rusted railing anchors are the common issues we address throughout West Hempstead.
West Hempstead's proximity to the LIRR and major highways makes it a commuter-friendly community with stable property values. Homeowners here understand that exterior improvements like a professionally built stoop or porch directly impact both daily curb appeal and future resale value.
Building permits for West Hempstead go through the Town of Hempstead. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our standard service.

Learn MoreWest Hempstead's compact lot sizes require careful work planning — equipment staging, material storage, and access routes must be coordinated to minimize disruption to the homeowner and adjacent properties. We protect neighboring landscaping and structures, manage debris removal efficiently, and clean up daily. The sandy-loam soils provide decent drainage, and we size footings to standard specifications for the area. Drainage from the stoop must be directed away from both the homeowner's foundation and adjacent properties. The Town of Hempstead handles building permits, and we manage the entire process.
Real projects we've completed for West Hempstead homeowners.
Demolished a crumbling 1950s poured concrete stoop on a compact Cape Cod lot and replaced with a new masonry stoop: concrete block structure, brick veneer matched to the home, thermal bluestone treads, and a wrought iron railing. Careful work staging on the narrow lot protected the neighbor's fence and landscaping.
Scope: Full stoop rebuild, 4 steps, brick veneer, bluestone treads, railing
Added a 90-square-foot front porch to a Colonial home on a compact lot. Brick columns with brownstone caps, bluestone deck surface, and composite railings. The porch fits within the required setback and adds a welcoming sitting area where only a small stoop existed before.
