"We had a backlog of trip hazards that would have taken us three years and most of our annual budget to fix the traditional way. PCC's team mapped every one of them, prioritized by severity, and cleared the backlog in under two weeks. The GIS data alone is worth what we paid."

Trip Hazard Removal — without the demolition.
Conventional sidewalk repair means jackhammers, concrete trucks, days of disruption, and a new section that never quite matches. Our patented slicing technology shears the displaced edge in a single pass, leaving a smooth 1:12 transition that's 33% gentler than ADA requires — and looks like part of the original sidewalk.
No demo. No dust storms. No new concrete poured. We typically finish 80–150 linear feet of repair in a single day, at roughly 1/4 the cost of replacement. Sidewalks reopen the moment we leave the property.
- 1:12 ADA-compliant slope
- Up to 75% cost savings vs. replacement
- Same-day repair, same-day use
- No new concrete, no curing time


GIS-based assessment & sidewalk data management.
Before the first cut, we map every linear foot of your sidewalk inventory. Each trip hazard is GPS-located, photographed, measured, and tagged with severity and ADA-compliance status. The result is a living digital map of your sidewalk network — searchable, exportable, and ready to drop into your existing GIS, work-order, or risk management system.
Public works departments use it to prioritize repair budgets across districts. HOA boards use it to demonstrate due diligence to insurers. Property managers use it to defend against slip-and-fall claims with photographic evidence dated before the incident.
- GPS-tagged hazard locations
- Severity & priority scoring
- Exportable to ArcGIS, Cartegraph, etc.
- Photographic before-and-after record
Verified ADA compliance, documented for the record.
When the work is done, you don't have to take our word for it. Every repaired hazard is re-measured to confirm a sub-1/4" vertical displacement and verified ADA-compliant transition. Slope, length, and finish are all photo-documented and re-logged into the same GIS record we built during the assessment.
You receive a closeout PDF and a digital data file showing every cut, the date it was made, and the technician who performed it. It's the kind of evidence that ends slip-and-fall cases before they get filed — and the kind of paper trail risk managers and insurance carriers actually ask for.
- Per-hazard before/after photos
- Slope verification on every repair
- Closeout PDF for legal & insurance
- GIS file you keep — forever

Proven scale. Documented results.
A single sidewalk lawsuit can cost more than 20 years of preventive repair.
In 2025, a now-disabled woman reached an $18M+ settlement with the City of Davis, California after tripping on a public sidewalk. The repair that would have prevented it would have cost less than $200.
Proactive compliance is an investment. Reactive litigation is a balance-sheet event. Your assessment is your first line of defense.
Indicative ranges. Final pricing depends on hazard count, severity, and site access. Your free assessment quote is firm.
Built for the buyers who own the liability.
We work exclusively with commercial and municipal buyers. No residential driveways, no roadways. Just the people responsible for keeping public-facing concrete safe.
Municipalities & Public Works Departments
Stretch your sidewalk maintenance budget with repairs that cost a fraction of replacement and finish in days.

HOAs, COAs & Multi-Family Property Managers
Liability claims at your front door are the fastest way to spike your master insurance premium. We work with HOA boards and management companies to assess every linear foot of sidewalk inside your community, prioritize repairs by severity, and document the work for your insurance carrier — protecting both your residents and your reserves.

Commercial Properties, Schools & Hospital Campuses
Office parks, retail centers, school districts, and hospital systems can't shut down a walking path for two weeks of demolition. We schedule around your hours — early mornings, weekends, breaks — and re-open every section the moment we leave. The result is a safer pedestrian environment, fewer slip-and-fall claims, and tenants who never noticed we were there.
- After-hours and weekend crews available
- Flagging and pedestrian routing handled
- Multi-site rollouts across portfolios
- OSHA-compliant, fully insured crews
“With their specialized equipment, PCC has completed hundreds of projects in record time.”
When “close enough” won't cut it.
Six reasons HOAs, property managers, and city officials choose PCC™ over grinding contractors and concrete-replacement bids.
Patented slicing — not grinding, not replacement
Our proprietary horizontal cutting technology is the only method that delivers a 1:12 ADA-compliant slope in a single pass without demolition. Competitors grind (rough finish, slow) or rip out and repour (10x the cost, weeks of disruption). PCC is the only contractor that can do this.
33% gentler than ADA requires
ADA defines a trip hazard as any displacement 1/4 inch or higher. PCC delivers a 1:12 final slope, which is 33% gentler than the maximum the ADA permits. We don't meet the standard. We exceed it — every cut, every time.
GIS-based sidewalk data — proactive, not reactive
We don't just fix what you point at. We map your entire inventory with GPS-grade accuracy and hand you the data so you can plan, budget, and defend your decisions. This is the documentation that beats premises-liability lawsuits and wins ADA Title II audits.
$18M+ in lawsuit settlements is what neglect costs
In 2025, a now-disabled woman reached an $18M settlement with the City of Davis, CA over an unrepaired sidewalk hazard. Cases like that are now routine. PCC's assessment and repair program is your first line of defense — and it costs less than a single deposition.
80 locations across the US, Canada & Australia
Whether you have one campus or a multi-state portfolio, PCC's franchise and licensee network can mobilize. We've completed work everywhere from single-block downtown corridors to multi-thousand-property HOA portfolios. One process, one quality standard, one set of paperwork.
25+ years and 50 million hazards eliminated
We've been doing this since the 1990s. The patented technology is ours. The methodology is ours. The certified surveyors and operators are ours. When you hire PCC, you're hiring the company that invented this category — not someone who just bought equipment last year.
Trusted by the people who own the liability.
"Our insurance carrier was threatening a 22% renewal increase because of trip-and-fall claims. We hired PCC to do a full sidewalk survey and remediation. The carrier dropped the increase and our claims went to zero. Best money we've spent in five years."
"I expected the usual contractor circus — arguments over scope, hidden fees, missed dates. PCC sent one project manager who handled everything. Crews were quiet, fast, and gone before tenants noticed. Then we got a 30-page PDF documenting every fix. That's how it should work."
Questions buyers ask before they sign.
Instead of jackhammering and pouring new concrete, our proprietary horizontal cutting equipment slices the displaced concrete edge in a single pass. The result is a smooth, sloped 1:12 transition (33% gentler than ADA's 1:8 maximum) with no demolition, no concrete waste, and the sidewalk fully usable the moment we leave.
