What is Sidewalk Replacement ?

Sidewalk replacement involves the full removal of damaged or non-compliant sidewalk slabs and the installation of new concrete pavement, constructed to meet NYC Department of Transportation (DOT), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and local building code standards.

This process includes:

  • Demolition and removal of damaged sidewalk sections

  • Sub-grade preparation and compaction

  • Installation of expansion joints and forms

  • Pouring of DOT-spec concrete (typically 4000 PSI, air-entrained)

  • Finishing, brooming, curing, and cleanup

  • Optional: Tree pit compliance, curb replacement, and vault repair

Why is it Important?

  • Eliminates DOT Violations & Fines: Restores code compliance, avoiding costly penalties and potential legal action.

  • Enhances Pedestrian Safety: Removes tripping hazards, unstable slabs, and uneven joints.

  • Protects Property Value: A clean, professionally installed sidewalk improves curb appeal and buyer or tenant confidence.

  • Improves Accessibility: ADA-compliant sidewalks improve usability for all visitors and residents.

  • Reduces Legal Liability: Defective sidewalks are a leading cause of injury lawsuits—replacement minimizes risk.
