What to Look For in a Concrete Sidewalk Contractor
Whichever contractor you end up going with, a few basics separate a good sidewalk job from one that cracks in two years:
- Base prep: A proper sidewalk starts with 4-6 inches of compacted gravel base. If the estimate doesn't mention base prep, ask.
- Rebar or mesh: Residential concrete sidewalks in North Carolina should be reinforced. #4 rebar on 18-inch grid is a common spec.
- Thickness: Standard residential sidewalk is 4 inches thick minimum; heavy-use areas step up to 6.
- Control joints: Cut in the first 24 hours, spaced roughly 2-3x the slab thickness in feet.
- Cure time: A quality sidewalk shouldn't be driven on for at least 7 days.
All seven contractors above handle these fundamentals well — which is why they made the list.
