PROBLEM: We have two stoops that are slanted “toward” their doors!
You should also know that we’re having some major landscaping done and flagstone patios will be constructed to meet the level of the stoop … BUT of course … slanted away from the doors. The stone will of course have to be thinner to accommodate missing the height of the threshold by an 1/8″ or so.
I’ve had 2 suggestions so far: 1)jack hammer the stoop out and re-pour and 2) use a a grinder with mason blade and cut lines into the stoop to drain the water – which is UGLY and doesn’t really solve the overall height problem!
The house has adobe, exterior walls, with that flexible kind of stucco.
Would sure appreciate any other suggestions, real soon. We have new doors coming in the next week.
Thanks so much,
Ginny
ps: Sure enjoy seeing all the great advice and “know-how” out there!
