What is the best material to use to cover a very ugly brick steps? The bricks have been cleaned and repointed. Should I consider fiberglass impregnated stucco that will it hold up?

A photo would help. I have never seen stucco on steps, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Can you provide more info?
Allan, here are several videos showing how to clad them in different materials. I'm sure whatever you decide will be just the answer. Good luck with it.

What about stone veneers? They are natural stone pieces that have been cut to thin slices. Or to give the brick that you already have a new look have you consider staining it?
Stucco is basically for walls. I doubt it will hold up on stairs. Use a concrete self leveling compound.

That is what leveling compound is. Acrylic latex modified concrete.
Sure is . No problem.
Thank all of you. I believe we will go with Williams acrylic information. This is for my sons first house. It is older and I'll need to help him. Thanks again.
