While you can certainly lay brick over existing brick, most times doing so on a set of steps will mess the rise/ height of the steps up. You are going to be adding 2.5" -3" to the overall height of your steps. You need to make sure the elevation change won't affect what you're stepping on to.

2.5" -3"

3.5 if using old brick. Call Steven Hebert with Hebert's Masonry @ 225-445-0385.

It won't the first step is currently at ground level. I'm also building a new sidewalk with it so I can match up the height to ensure the first step is fine.

What about the top step (porch, door threshold, whatever you're stepping up too)? Will having a 3" higher step screw it up?

Nope. It's a 4-5" rise currently.
