Brownstoners, this is my dilemma: As you can see from the pics, my stoop is on the way to being repaired. However, I was thinking perhaps the flat wall on one side of the inner stoop and the outside wall (where the mailbox is) would look better “roughened” like the stone on the rest of the facade, and as it was originally. They can do it with concrete (create imitation limestone to match the other stone). This will cost more $, and don’t know if it is even necessary. Would love any feedback. (yes, i probably should have negotiated beforehand, but we discovered the whole wall had to be rebuilt, and their was little original material to work with, which I hadn’t expected). Thank you!
