My 8 year old front steps, first installed by our builder, needed to be replaced. The original design was flawed with the bottom three steps made of stacked blocks and the other five part of the poured concrete foundation. The bottom three steps shifted every year in the frost, dislodging the hand rail and causing the coping and risers to become loose and mortar to crack. I hired Three Little Pigs after speaking to a couple of contractors about the job. My aim was to replace the bottom three steps with permanent concrete ones that tied into the existing steps then to resurface all the steps with new Banas stone coping. I also needed some tuckpointing of the original brick and parging to tie the new steps into the original. The team from 3LP were thorough and thoughtful in their quote. David asked all the right questions and took time to understand exactly what I was looking for. The team got started right away and were highly professional throughout. We had a couple of delays due to COVID disruption in June / July and when I expressed concern, David always answered my calls, took responsibility and got things back on track. While the job took longer than I had originally expected, I am very pleased with 3LP’s work. My stairs look way better than new and are solid, evenly spaced and a massive improvement over the original. The team cleaned up the job site and left everything in great condition. Very happy with my decision to go with 3LP and pleased that when I am able to welcome guests into my home after social distancing is over, they will be able to enter via safe and solid front steps.
