stoop restoration

Can anyone recommend a company for stoop restoration?

I have this same problem. We are redoing our stoop this summer and are currently in the process of obtaining bids. Can you recommend anyone?

don't bother. that space will always be wet and never good for storage.

I have the exact same problem, but don't have $5-10K to spend this summer to fix it. my stoop steps were painted by the previous owner. I have heard conflicting opinions on what will happen if i strip the paint off the brownstone stoop stairs. Will the stairs then breath and last better until i can save up to have them repointed with brownstone or will they disintegrate quicker?

Any advice because i know the paint trapping the moisture isn't a good thing, but i don't want to make things worse? thanks.
