Porches

Porches

Depending on the age, level of deterioration, or extent of damage, repairing a porch usually requires one of two options:
  • If you have a concrete top that is in good shape, but the bricks are cracked, flaking, defacing, or just plain looking bad, we can remove the bad bricks and reface front-facing walls to revive the appearance it once had.
  • If we inspect your porch and determine that it needs a total rebuild, we can tear down the entire porch to the foundation. The average brick porch is built with double layer walls, the outside front face and an inner brick wall. Our process involves putting backfill inside the porch and adding a 4” 6 bag mix concrete cap with steel rebar or fiber mess throughout.

Sidewalk and Ramp Repair Programs

Curb Ramp Replacement Program

What is a Curb Ramp?

A curb ramp is the section of concrete, typically on a slope, that connects the sidewalk to the roadway and provides pedestrians a location to cross the street. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has multiple requirements for these ramps, which the City is obligated to follow. Some of these requirements include maximum slopes on the ramps and the level landings (i.e. the “top” of the ramp), as well as the need to install detectable warning surfaces (the “dots” or “domes” installed at the bottom of the ramp) that act as a cue for visually impaired pedestrians.

Accessible sidewalks enable people with disabilities to reach their desired destinations in the community and to enjoy the benefits of city services, programs, and activities. Where sidewalks are provided, public agencies are required to ensure that continuous, unobstructed sidewalks are maintained in operable working condition. This guidance is supported by a steady stream of cases interpreting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provisions.
