Stay ADA-Compliant | Reduce Liability | Keep Your Walkways Safe
ADA compliance isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a responsibility to keep your sidewalks safe, accessible, and risk-free. At Precision Concrete Cutting, we specialize in helping cities, property managers, and businesses meet ADA standards without the cost or disruption of full sidewalk replacement. If you manage a public-facing property, this page will show you exactly what you need to know—and how we make compliance easy.
What the ADA Requires
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that any vertical change over ¼ inch between sidewalk panels be corrected—otherwise, it’s considered a trip hazard and a violation. These hazards pose serious risks not only to pedestrians using mobility aids, strollers, or canes, but also to the property owners and cities who could face legal action and fines if the issues aren’t addressed.
​
Compliance standards require:
​
-
Transitions between sidewalk panels to be smooth and flush
-
Surfaces to be stable, firm, and slip-resistant
-
Clear width and path of travel for wheelchair users
Avoid Costly Lawsuits and Citations
ADA-related trip hazards are one of the most common—and costly—violations found on sidewalks today. Lawsuits and citations can add up quickly, but with the right approach, they’re also the easiest to prevent. At Precision Concrete Cutting, we’ve helped thousands of cities, HOAs, and facility managers across the U.S. and Canada eliminate these risks efficiently and affordably—without replacing a single slab. Our compliance-first process keeps sidewalks safe, accessible, and liability-free for communities of every size.
Our Solution — Fully Compliant, Without Full Replacement
Precision Concrete Cutting, you don't pay extra for ADA compliant sidewalks - it comes standard. We use a patented saw-cutting method that restores sidewalk panels to full ADA compliance—without replacing slabs, shutting down sidewalks, or leaving behind dust and debris. (We don't grind, as it's harder to achieve ADA compliance with grinding.) Our process eliminates the vertical offset entirely, cutting edge-to-edge and correcting slope with precision. It’s clean, fast, and fully compliant.
Why our solution works:
​
-
Removes 100% of the trip hazard, flush with adjacent panels
-
Corrects slope to match ADA standards
-
Works around tree roots, curbs, gutters, and walls
-
Immediate pedestrian access after service
-
No demolition, jackhammers, or slab pouring
