CATEGORY 1: Must-Know Questions (Primary FAQs)
These are the key questions every property owner needs to know before hiring a sidewalk violation contractor:
How much does it cost to remove a DOT sidewalk violation in NYC?
Most jobs range between $14–$18 per square foot, depending on the PSI requirement, site conditions, and how much area needs to be replaced. We offer clear pricing with no hidden fees.
What’s the typical timeline from permit to completion?
Once permits are approved, we usually complete work in 3 to 5 business days. We manage everything — permits, work, and inspections — so the process stays smooth and efficient.
Will you handle DOT permits and paperwork for me?
Yes. We manage all filings, DOT permits, and coordination with inspectors. You won’t need to deal with the city — we handle it start to finish.
What if the violation isn’t removed after the work is done?
We back our work with a 100% violation removal guarantee. If it doesn’t get cleared, we refund you in full.
Do you cover all 5 boroughs in NYC?
Yes — we work throughout Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Our crews are local and experienced in the nuances of each borough.
Is all work done by your team or subcontracted out?
We never subcontract. All work is performed by our licensed, in-house crew. Most of our finishers have been doing this 6 days a week for over 30 years.
CATEGORY 2: Smart Questions to Ask (Secondary/Insightful FAQs)
These are things clients don’t always ask but should — this builds trust and positions you as the expert:
What finish is best for NYC sidewalks — broom, float, or smooth?
We typically recommend a broom finish — it’s DOT-preferred, adds traction, and blends best with surrounding slabs. We’ll match the look as needed for curb appeal and compliance.
Do you recommend replacing just the flagged slabs or more?
We always stick to what the DOT flagged, but we’ll alert you if nearby sections are borderline. You’ll get honest advice and options — no pressure.
How long before I can walk or drive on the new concrete?
Sidewalks are walkable within 24–48 hours, but full curing (for vehicles) takes up to 7 days. We’ll let you know exact timing based on weather and concrete PSI.
Will this affect my property value or insurance?
Yes — ignoring violations can cause insurance issues, blocked refinancing, or sale delays. Fixing the violation protects your liability and helps maintain your home’s value.
Do you fix the curb or driveway if it’s connected to the sidewalk?
Yes, if the curb or driveway section is part of the violation or in poor condition, we can include it in the same permit and scope.
