What is the best stone for steps and how much does it cost?

• <div><p>The material you use depends on how hard-wearing your steps need to be and what you want them to look like. The most common stone for exterior steps is bluestone. It’s hard-wearing and durable, and bluestone steps cost between <b>$15 and $30 per linear foot</b>. Limestone is also a popular option and is mid-range, costing <b>$25 to $50 per linear foot</b>. You should always consider the specific requirements of your project before ordering any materials.</p></div>

Is brick spalling normal?

• <div><p>Spalling brick is not uncommon, but it does indicate a serious issue. It can be caused by water damage, an intense freeze-thaw cycle, or something else. Painted bricks can be susceptible to spalling, as the paint doesn’t allow the porous material of the brick to breathe, which can trap moisture. Spalling should always be addressed immediately before more serious structural damage occurs.</p></div>
