Sidewalk trip hazard repair

Eric Lee

Hello,

The Mesquite city inspector informed me that at my rental property there's a section of uneven sidewalk that is a trip hazard.  I know the city has a cost share program for making these kind of repairs, but they tell me I'm not eligible because one of the requirements is the water bill being in my name.  So seems like I have to get this taken care of on my own.

Can anyone recommend a contractor or handyman that does this kind of concrete repair?  Most of the contractors/companies I've reached out to either won't come out for such a small job, or have a minimum charge that's way more that what something like this should cost.  

Appreciate any help or advice.  Thanks!

Eric

Hi JD, thanks for the response.

The program is a 50/50 split, but from what I understand the cost should be pretty low anyways since it's only one section of sidewalk that needs repair (<$100).  So if that's the case I was thinking I'd rather just pay the full price to avoid the hassle of transferring the utilities.
