Sidewalks
At Lapnet Construction, we offer a wide range of home renovation and contracting services, including sidewalk work. Sidewalks are essential for any home or commercial property, providing a safe and convenient path for pedestrians. As the city’s leading home renovations contractor, we aim to enhance the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your property with our sidewalk services.
SIDEWALK PROCESS
Sidewalk work usually includes several steps: site preparation, concrete pouring, finishing, and curing. First, we grade and excavate the area, then set up forms to guide the concrete. Next, we pour, level, and smooth the concrete to create an even surface. After the concrete cures, we add finishing touches like sealants, edging, and color for a polished look. For every project, we consider key factors to ensure we complete it on time and within budget.
- Local Building Codes: It is important to ensure that the sidewalks are constructed to the appropriate width, slope, and thickness, and that they meet other safety and accessibility requirements. Failure to comply with local building codes and regulations can result in costly fines and legal penalties.
- Type of Concrete: Different types of concrete have varying strengths, durability, and aesthetics. It is important to choose a concrete mix that is appropriate for the intended use of the sidewalk, local climate conditions, and the client’s aesthetic preferences
- Sidewalk Maintenance: This includes regular inspections and repair of any cracks, as well as regular cleaning to remove debris and prevent slip hazards.
Concrete sidewalks can degrade over time due to weather, environmental factors, and general wear and tear. Regular inspections are crucial to identify areas needing maintenance or repair to prevent injuries and safety hazards.
