Precision Safe Sidewalks, Inc.

Precision Safe Sidewalks removes trip hazards from concrete and asphalt sidewalks to assist communities in alleviating trip and fall liability, meeting the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and improving community assets. Our approach has been awarded 6 U.S. patents. We use a horizontal saw to repair trip hazards as small as 1/4 inch (as defined by the ADA) to as high as 2.5 inches. Municipalities find that our proprietary service is more efficient and costs 15-20% of the cost of conventional methods of trip hazard removal.

Removing hazards up to 2.5 inches in height means we deal with hazards a full inch and a half higher than what most grinding crews would attempt. Municipalities that grind up to an inch and replace over an inch face a combined cost of repair significantly greater than that of our saw cut method.

Precision Safe Sidewalks does not grind or pulverize concrete. Grinders can cause crevices and pitting, resulting in further damage and deterioration to the concrete due to water retention in the low, uneven spots. Grinders often leave partial hazards at the edges of a sidewalk panel, which means after you've paid for a repair, you are still left with the liability.

Precision Safe Sidewalks guarantees there will be no damage to any adjacent or surrounding concrete, landscaping, utility covers, retaining walls or otherwise. Damage often results from heavy equipment such as demolition back hoes or trucks on the sidewalk.

Precision Safe Sidewalks uses no heavy equipment. Each trip hazard removal specialist is equipped with a compact, mobile set up, which the specialist pulls along with him as he repairs each hazard. A two person crew can remove approximately 100 hazards in a day with minimal disturbance to business, homeowners, schools or other public venues.
