Sidewalk and concrete repair in Washington Heights, Manhattan, by Easyfix Concrete NY

Washington Heights is built on steep ground, and its sidewalks show it: sloped flags, stepped curbs and long frontages in front of five and six story prewar apartment buildings. Easyfix Concrete NY repairs sidewalks and concrete across the neighborhood, a short trip from our Edgecombe Avenue office.

Slope matters on these blocks. A replaced flag has to drain properly and meet the curb at the right height, so we check grades before we pour and keep the new sidewalk consistent with the rest of the street.

Working in Washington Heights

The Landmarks Preservation Commission regulates sidewalk and curb replacement only in historic districts where historic paving is a significant feature; there, bluestone and granite are kept where possible and new concrete is tinted to match. New or enlarged tree pits need LPC review in every historic district. We check your address against the LPC rules during the estimate.

Washington Heights FAQs

Is sidewalk repair harder on steep blocks?

It takes more care. The new flags have to drain and meet the curb correctly, so we check the grade first and set the forms to match the street.

My building is near Jumel Terrace. Are there special rules?

Jumel Terrace and Audubon Terrace are historic districts where LPC regulates sidewalk paving, so replacement there needs Landmarks approval and matching materials. We check the exact address during the estimate.

Can you fix the sidewalk in front of a large apartment building in stages?

Yes. We can phase a long frontage so part of the sidewalk and the entrance stay open while the rest is poured.
