Front Entry Rebuild in Rose Valley, Pennsylvania
Project Overview
The original front entry had reached the end of its lifespan. The concrete stoop and brick steps were uneven and no longer felt proportional to the home. Rather than making surface repairs, we rebuilt the entry entirely, focusing on long-term durability, clean geometry, and a more intentional arrival at the front door.
Existing Conditions
The original concrete stoop showed clear signs of wear and settling. Landing depth was limited, step heights were inconsistent, and the overall scale didn’t match the façade of the house. These conditions made a full rebuild the most practical and lasting solution.
Demolition & Preparation
We removed the existing stoop and steps entirely, exposing the underlying base so elevations could be corrected. This phase allowed us to reset the structure properly and ensure the new entry would be square, level, and aligned with the front door and surrounding hardscape.
Rebuilding the Entry
With the old structure removed, we rebuilt the entry using new stone block risers to establish consistent step heights and clean lines. Bluestone treads and landing pieces were then installed, creating a strong visual frame around the front door while tying into the existing walkway materials.
Finished Entry
The completed front entry provides a safer, more comfortable approach while giving the home a clearer sense of arrival. The new stonework feels grounded and balanced, with materials chosen to complement the house rather than compete with it.
