Sidewalk and Concrete

NYC Sidewalk Repair and Concrete Work

In New York City the sidewalk in front of your building is your responsibility, and the Department of Transportation will issue a violation against the property when it fails. We replace and repair sidewalk flags to DOT specification, and we pour driveways, stoops, walkways, curbs and general flatwork. Concrete is unforgiving work: once it is down, it is down, so the sub-base, the forms and the timing are where the job is actually won.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Best Valana

Built to DOT Spec

Correct thickness, scoring, slope and expansion joints, so a repaired flag passes rather than earning a fresh violation.

Violations Handled

If DOT has already issued a sidewalk violation against the property, we do the corrective work it calls for.

Proper Sub-Base

Failed concrete is usually a base problem. We excavate and compact properly instead of pouring new slab over old trouble.

Access Kept Open

Work on a live city sidewalk is staged so pedestrians keep moving and your entrance stays usable.

Our Process

Our Process

1

Measure and Quote

We count the flags, check what DOT has on record for the address, and price the work in writing.

2

Break Out

The failed concrete comes out and the sub-base is excavated and compacted.

3

Form and Pour

Forms set to the correct slope and depth, then the pour, finished and scored to spec.

4

Cure and Protect

The new work is protected while it cures, and the site is cleaned before we leave.
