Safe, Solid Porches for Chicago's Two-Flats, Bungalows & Greystones
A cracked, sunken, or deteriorating porch is a safety hazard and a liability. Chicago's stoop porches, front landings, and rear porches take some of the hardest weather in the Midwest, decades of heavy use, freeze-thaw cycling, and de-icing salt applied by building owners and the city alike. We repair and replace concrete, brick, and masonry porches and front stoops across Chicago's neighborhoods, diagnosing the root cause before recommending targeted repair or full replacement.
Chicago's classic housing types, two-flats, three-flats, bungalows, and greystones, were built with front stoops and porch landings that have been in service for the better part of a century. The recurring failure points are consistent citywide: slabs settled away from the building, gaps at the porch-to-wall joint where water enters and accelerates deterioration, spalled brick and concrete from salt and freeze-thaw, and stair treads worn or chipped from generations of daily use. Many of these porches combine brick and masonry with concrete, so the repair scope often needs to cover both.
We assess the porch slab, masonry, coping, drainage, and the porch-to-house connection before recommending anything. If the base is sound and the damage is localized, targeted repair can restore the porch for a fraction of the cost of replacement. If the structure has settled away from the house or the base has failed, replacement is the better long-term answer. We scope it honestly and tell you which makes sense.
