Can My Porch or Steps Be Saved?

Absolutely — but timing matters. If caught early, we can often lift and stabilize steps or stoops without removing or rebuilding them, even when matching brick or stone is hard to find. Waiting too long may lead to structural damage that requires full demolition and reconstruction. If you’re seeing separation, cracking, or tilting — now is the time to call.

Don’t Let a Failing Entrance Hurt Your Home’s Value

A sagging stoop or cracking front step may not seem urgent, but these problems can lead to major structural issues down the road. They also hurt curb appeal and buyer confidence — especially if you’re planning to sell. With Anglin’s, you get expert foundation repair and masonry restoration in one. That means fewer contractors, lower costs, and a finished result that’s built to last — and looks great, too.

Our Proven Repair Process

Whether your steps are sagging or your front porch is separating from the house, Anglin’s has a reliable solution. Our process is fast, effective, and designed to last.

Here’s how we repair sinking or settling stoops and porches:
1
Inspection & Evaluation

We start with a detailed inspection to assess the root cause of the problem — from soil movement to improper support systems.

2
Foundation Stabilization

When needed, we use deep-driven steel piers to stabilize and lift the structure. These piers are installed beneath the steps or slab until they reach stable, load-bearing soil or bedrock.

3
Hydraulic Lifting & Leveling

Using precision hydraulic equipment, we carefully lift the stoop or porch back into its original position.

4
Anchoring & Reinforcement

Once realigned, we permanently anchor the structure to prevent future movement — all without damaging your existing brick or stonework.

5
Masonry Repair & Cosmetic Finishing

As experienced masons, we restore any cracked mortar, chipped brick, or damaged concrete for a seamless, like-new appearance.

In most cases, we’re able to complete the work without disturbing surrounding landscaping, walkways, or hardscapes.

Our Anchoring Process

In cases where traditional reinforcement, like installing steel beams, isn’t enough, we recommend a specialized anchoring system. This process involves securing the failing wall to undisturbed soil behind it. We often use engineered anchors—sometimes referred to as seawall anchors—designed to lock the wall in place and provide permanent stability.

Our approach typically includes:
  • Assessing the Cause – Before we start, we identify why the wall is failing to ensure we address the root problem.
  • Placing Anchors in Stable Soil – Anchors are strategically positioned and connected to the wall for maximum support.
  • Locking the System in Place – Using steel plates, reinforced concrete, and corrosion-resistant hardware, we secure the wall to prevent future movement.

Note: A foundation repair job requires 28 days for mortar to properly cure before pressure washing and cleaning. Many of our job site photos show completed structural repairs prior to final cleaning.

We promise what we do and we do what we promise.
