It's not complicated in concept, but there's a lot that can go wrong. We've been pouring concrete in this city since 2002 — we know subgrade prep for Chicago soil, how to approach pours when temps are marginal, and what the city expects in the right-of-way.
Chicago homeowners are often responsible for maintaining the sidewalk in front of their property, and violations are common. We handle violation-driven concrete repairs end-to-end, including the re-inspection process.
