I am debating the two because I have been looking at “newer” ones and they all seem to be falling apart in my area. I guess workmanship isn’t as good with these.. I thought a safer bet will be a metal one (maybe aluminum powder coated black) which has less workmanship in it and more material quality. I only found one “full” metal stoop though… 119 Norman st, 11222\. Any thoughts on this? Anyone did a metal stoop and can give a recommendation? Or did anyone have a brick one installed a while back (4-5 years ago) and it is in still in good shape?

There are some nice metal ones being installed in a row of 4-5 houses on Congress or Warren maybe between Henry & Hicks.

was also thinking about replacing deteriorating stoop with metal stairs-but would miss the storage area under stoop. as i understand it, it may be less expensive to install metal stairs. considering getting an estimate from lopopolo(?) iron works but no idea who to contact re “brownstoning”.
