re-brownstone stair costs
Our once brownstoned exterior stairs up to our house are falling apart. These are pretty typical stairs for a brownstone and it seems I see people redoing these all the time. But as we started looking for estimates, the numbers were staggering, over 20K for 12 steps?!?! Anyone have thoughts here on what "going rate" to do this?

You said "once brownstoned"
If they are, in fact, brownstone steps, 20K sounds a little high, but not out of touch. I remember a figure somewhere about 12K from about 8 - 10 years ago.

I paid $8k about 7 years ago for a total rebuild of our stoop including the entry area and storage space underneath. Some of these brownstone guys are way over-priced for the current economy. I suggest you bargain hard with them.

I just did my stoops last summer and I must say these prices I am here is quite high. I only paid $6,500. They reconstructed my whole stoops including underneath the stoops. They did a great job and I was very happy. The quality of work was impeccable and the service was efficient. I suggest you call Micheal at 1347-792-1266. He is an honest contractor. I wish you the best of luck!!!!!!

Definitely get a quote from Z. Abedin. Best rates I have seen for this work. Tell him Chris Montgomery from Decatur Street referred you. You can reach him at 917 903 0196.
All the best.

So I wound up going with Z Abedin and commented on another posting referencing him - cheaper than all prices quoted above and the work was top notch.
