Replace wood stoop and stairs w/ brick and cement?


Posted by Alan on October 22nd, 2003 01:57 PM

My house has a wooden front stoop and stairs. Underneath the stoop is a hollow space, then the dirt of the crawl space. I'd like to replace the wooden stoop and stairs with a cement pad and brick stairs. What's the best way to go about this? I've thought I could fill the area underneath the stoop with dirt, then pour concrete on top, but I don't know if that would be feasible. Also, there are foundation vents that would be blocked by doing that.

Also, I have a wooden rail and post I'd like to replace with wrought iron, but I don't know how to brace the roof over the stoop--the post is at the corner.

Thanks for any help you can give.
