West Seattle Streets & Areas We Cover

Common Sidewalk Problems in West Seattle

West Seattle covers a wide area, from the beach walks at Alki to the hillside streets of Admiral and the newer blocks in High Point. Sidewalk problems change with the terrain. Near the water, salt air and constant wet weather wear the surface of older concrete. On the slopes above the beach, settling and runoff crack slabs from below.

In the California Ave SW business district at the Junction, the work is mostly trip-hazard grinding and panel replacement in front of shops. We work in stages to keep entrances open and follow the street-use permit's pedestrian-path rules.

Across residential West Seattle, street trees are again the most common cause of lifted slabs. We grind small lifts, replace broken panels and coordinate any root pruning with an SDOT arborist before we cut. Owners can compare options in our grind, lift or replace guide.

Permits and Who Is Responsible in West Seattle

Seattle property owners are responsible for the sidewalk next to their lot, and repairs need an SDOT street-use permit. We pull the permit and handle inspection for West Seattle jobs, and we include permit costs in the written estimate. For typical prices, see our Seattle sidewalk repair cost guide.

West Seattle Sidewalk Repair FAQ

Do you serve all of West Seattle?

Yes, including Alki, Admiral, the Junction, Fauntleroy, High Point, Delridge and the areas around Lincoln Park.

Does salt air near Alki damage concrete?

Over many years, salt and moisture can wear the surface and attack reinforcement in thin slabs. A penetrating sealer slows this down, and we use air-entrained concrete on new pours.

How long does a sidewalk replacement take?

Demolition and the pour usually take one to two days for a few slabs. The new concrete is ready for foot traffic in about 24 hours.
