Overview
Municipal Sidewalk Repair for Spokane properties.
Municipal sidewalk programs run into the same wall every year: an aging inventory of public sidewalk, a growing list of documented trip hazards, and a replacement budget that can only address a small fraction of them each cycle. Meanwhile every reported hazard is a documented liability that isn't going away.
ADA guidance treats vertical offsets greater than a quarter inch as non-compliant, and larger offsets as a hazard requiring beveling or repair. Polyurethane concrete leveling brings settled public sidewalk panels back into compliance without demoing the sidewalk, without week-long pedestrian closures, and at a fraction of the per-panel cost of replacement — so cities can address multiples of the panels they'd otherwise defer.

What we solve
Municipal Sidewalk Repair challenges we address.
ADA vertical offset compliance
The goal on most municipal work is a compliant surface — no vertical offset greater than a quarter inch, or beveled per current guidance. Leveling routinely brings settled panels back inside that tolerance.
Documented hazard backlogs
Every reported hazard is documented. Every day it isn't repaired is a day of exposure. Foam lets a city clear a documented list in a fraction of the time replacement would take.
Public pedestrian access
Public walks stay in use during work. Ports are dime-sized, no jackhammers, no debris — the sidewalk is open again the same day.
Prevailing wage and public bidding
We coordinate on prevailing wage projects, certified payroll, and standard public-works bidding requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Questions we hear from property managers and public-works teams.
- Does polyurethane leveling meet ADA sidewalk compliance requirements?
- Polyurethane leveling is used specifically to bring settled panels back into ADA vertical-offset compliance. Post-lift measurements are included in the completion report so the record shows a compliant surface.
- How is municipal work priced?
- Per panel or per lineal foot of hazard, with unit pricing that fits standard public-works bidding. Larger scopes can be structured as a purchase order or an on-call contract.
- Do you carry the insurance limits public works requires?
- Yes — general liability, auto, and workers' comp at limits common to municipal contracts. COIs are issued naming the city or agency before mobilization.
- How many panels can you complete per day?
- On a typical urban sidewalk run, a crew clears 30–80 panels per day depending on lift required and traffic control. Larger city programs can be structured as multi-week engagements.
- What about panels that are too damaged to lift?
- During the walk we flag panels where lifting won't get to a compliant surface — usually severe spalling or displacement. Those get separated out so the city can plan targeted replacement.
- Can you work in Spokane's freeze-thaw window?
- Polyurethane is temperature-tolerant and we work in the shoulder seasons in Spokane. Deep-winter work is possible on a case-by-case basis; we'll say so in the estimate.
- Do you handle traffic control?
- We handle pedestrian detour signage around the immediate work area. On roadway-adjacent panels we coordinate with the city's standard traffic-control plan or a subcontracted TC provider.
