RL Sanborn Masonry, A Portland Maine masonry stairs contractor, provides top quality:
All steps by RL Sanborn Masonry are built on site with the highest standards of craftsmanship & attention to detail. RL Sanborn Masonry steps and stairs are custom built, starting with excavation, a stone sub base, a steel reinforced poured concrete footing and a steel reinforced poured concrete core structure. The steps or stairs are then finished with brick veneer, stone veneer or concrete finish coatings. There is a major difference between our solid core, steel reinforced steps and the common concrete block structure steps. By first appearance, block structure stairs, with veneer finishes, look about the same as solid core, steel reinforced stairs. The difference is that block steps, set on sod then finished with masonry veneer, simply will not last. The block will disintegrate rapidly, due to the moisture sealed environment. As a result of settling, the mortar joints and veneers will begin to crack. RL Sanborn Masonry builds solid core, steel reinforced steps that will withstand frost and moisture. Solid core, steel reinforced steps last much longer because moisture does not penetrate the central core structure. The steel reinforcement is installed, before the solid core structure is poured. Steel reinforcement is what gives concrete strength and durability. Installing a footing, prior to construction, is crucial to the longevity of the stairs. Another benefit of solid core, steel reinforced steps is that they can be restored in the future at a much lower cost than having to replace failed block structure steps. We know, because we replace so many block structure steps. RL Sanborn Masonry is prepared to earn your business with courteous professional steps and stairs installation services. No dream is impossible.

What is masonry? Masonry is the building of structures from individual units laid in and bound together by mortar. The common materials of masonry construction are brick, stone such as marble, granite, travertine, limestone; concrete block, glass block, and tile. Masonry is generally a highly durable form of construction. However, the materials used, the quality of the mortar and workmanship, and the pattern the units are put in can strongly affect the durability of the overall masonry construction |
