Stone Steps in Bloomington, MN
Work on stone steps in Bloomington is mainly about entries that already exist. The city filled up quickly in the decades after the war, and the front steps laid with those houses, whether stone, brick or poured concrete, are often still the way to the door. We repair and rebuild them in the material the house already has, and new steps go in as natural stone.

Bloomington at a Glance for Stone Steps
The City's 2026 assessing report counts 9,124 single-family houses built in the 1950s and 5,049 more from the 1960s, and the City's Forward 2040 plan gave its single-family homes a median age of 57 years back in 2018. Front steps that have stood that long have had plenty of time to move. So part of Sam's visit is settling whether yours have shifted and whether they are still shifting, because a set that dropped years ago and then stopped is a different job from one that sits a little lower every year.
The same report puts 82 percent of Bloomington's single-family houses built in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, and only 4 percent built in 1990 or later. In practice most steps jobs here mean reworking an entry somebody else built, and on a stone entry the old stone is part of the material for the new work. Sound stone is lifted, stacked, and laid again, and under stone or brick steps, the footing gets the same test: if the old one is good, we reuse it, and if it has failed, we replace it.

Bloomington Stone Steps Questions
Our 1950s Bloomington house still has its original concrete stoop, and it has cracked right across. Can it be repaired?+
It may be. A crack across the full width usually means the ground under the stoop has settled unevenly, and the extent of the drop determines whether a concrete repair or a rebuild is needed. Your written estimate names the one yours needs. Ours is one of the few Bloomington houses built since 1990, and the front door opens onto a flat poured slab. Could it be faced in stone? Yes, provided the slab is in good shape, since the stone or brick goes on top of it as a facing. Pouring or replacing the slab itself is outside our work, so if the concrete has broken up, Sam will tell you that before anything is priced.
Can you build steps up the slope in the backyard as well?+
Yes, garden steps are work we take on. Mention the slope when you book, and Sam will go out back to look at it once he has seen the front entry.
We have an iron railing on the front steps. What happens to it?+
That part goes to a metalworker, since railings are outside our trade. Sam has a reliable one he refers people to and will pass on the number.
Our front steps are bluestone. Is that something you repair?+
Yes. We repair bluestone steps, resetting loose treads and repointing the joints between them, and a new set can be built in bluestone as well.
