How it works
From the first call to the final DOT sign-off, here’s how we take care of sidewalk repairs across Brooklyn.
Every job starts with a proper look at the problem. We review your DOT violation notice and any photos you have. If we can see the sidewalk clearly on Google Street View, we might not need to come out. But if trees, cars, or shadows block the view, or if you ask, we’ll schedule a free site visit to see it ourselves.
After inspecting your site and understanding your requirements, we’ll provide a clear, detailed estimate. It will include the full scope of work, required materials, and a transparent cost breakdown with no hidden fees. Once you approve the proposal, we’ll schedule your project, start obtaining the necessary permits, and keep you updated at every stage.
Once the city approves the permit, our crew shows up on the scheduled day, secures the work area with caution tape and barricades, and gets moving. We break up the damaged concrete, clean out the debris, and pour fresh concrete at the right depth: 4 inches for sidewalks, 6 to 7 inches for driveways. We add wire mesh if it’s needed.
After the concrete cures, we apply caulk to the joints for a clean finish. Once payment is wrapped up, we file for the violation dismissal with DOT and send you the tracking info. The city inspects it, and when it passes, your violation is officially taken care of.

Yes. If the repair is more than a small patch or involves a DOT violation, you’ll need a sidewalk construction permit from the city.
Costs depend on the size of the repair and whether it’s a home or a business. For residential properties, repairs usually range from $1,500 to $10,000. For larger commercial sidewalks, costs can go up to $12,000 or more, depending on the scope of work.
Property owners are responsible for maintaining sidewalks next to their buildings. Failing that can lead to DOT fines, liens, or even lawsuits under NYC codes.
After you receive a Notice of Violation, you must complete repairs and request a re-inspection within 75 days. Otherwise, the City can repair it and bill you.
Yes, under NYC Parks’ Trees and Sidewalks program, one- to three-family homeowners may get free repairs if tree roots caused the damage. But commercial properties and multi-unit buildings aren’t covered.
Most sidewalk repairs take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the job and weather conditions. Bigger jobs may take a little longer, especially if permits or inspections are needed.
All our repairs come with a workmanship guarantee. If the same issue returns from normal use, we’ll fix it. However, if the damage is caused by external factors like heavy vehicles or impact from accidents, it wouldn’t be covered under our warranty.
We accept cash, checks, Zelle, and wire transfers. We also provide clear invoices for every job.
