Replacing steps in North Branford
With newer housing (half built after 1977), North Branford step work is often deck-to-patio steps, garage entries and wider front steps with a stamped finish. Most North Branford homes are single-family (80%), so step work here is mainly front stoops, back-door steps and garage entries.
Near Totoket Mountain, a footing hole can hit rock before 42 inches. Footings on solid ledge are fine; the rock is cleaned and the footing doweled into it.
