Exterior under-stoop help
the storage space under our house’s exterior front steps/stoop rains down fine red dust on everything in there. I think we need to have the ceiling resealed or something…has anyone had anything like this done and can they recommend someone who could do it?

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.
don’t bother. that space will always be wet and never good for storage.
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?
You probably have to have the steps redone. I have the same thing & am going to use VinRoy Barronette of Park Slope Brownstone – 646 554 4513. You can see work he’s doing on 6th Av. between Lincoln Pl. & St. John’s in the Slope – there’s a sign on the fence of the building he’s working on.
