Sidewalk work for owners on a city clock
Most sidewalk repair starts with a letter from the city. A city inspector writes up the frontage, a deadline lands in the mail, and the owner has to turn that letter into finished concrete. We measure the offset, price the panels, pull the permit and pour. If you are selling, we can also survey the frontage and document what the city will look for before your escrow date arrives.
- Sidewalk panel repair and replacement
- Concrete trip hazard removal to the quarter inch standard
- Sidewalk surveys for a sale, a refinance or a permit file
Polished concrete and epoxy floors
The same grinders that take a lip off a sidewalk also finish a floor. We polish concrete slabs to a hard, low maintenance surface, and we coat floors in epoxy where a shop, a garage or a warehouse needs something that shrugs off oil and wheels. Owner Danny Williams has worked in concrete and flooring for 31 years, and floor work is a large part of that history.
- Polished concrete for shops, offices and homes
- Epoxy floor coating for garages, warehouses and workshops
- Grinding, patching and slab prep before any finish goes down

Who is responsible for sidewalk repair in Oakland?
BA Sidewalk Restoration is a licensed concrete contractor serving Oakland, CA and San Francisco, Berkeley, San Leandro, Hayward and Fremont. We repair and replace sidewalk panels, remove concrete trip hazards, survey frontage before a sale, and polish and coat concrete floors. Oakland has about 1,100 miles of sidewalk and roughly $1 million a year budgeted for it, and the City limits that money to City tree damage and City facilities.
That is why most Oakland repairs land on the property owner. California Streets and Highways Code section 5610 makes the owner of the lot in front of a sidewalk responsible for keeping it repaired. If the City sends you a Notice to Repair, the City's own page says you must repair the sidewalk within 30 days. Oakland also counts any crack or vertical offset of more than 1/4 inch as a defect.
Being liable when someone trips is a separate question from having to repair the walk. Under the California courts' Sidewalk Accident Decisions rule, the owner in front is not automatically liable to an injured pedestrian unless the owner created the defect. A city can change that with its own ordinance, and Oakland did in 2019. Hayward did the same with an amendment effective December 18, 2025.
Oakland Ordinance 13549 adds one more trigger. You must repair your sidewalk if you are buying or selling the property, or if you are doing a renovation valued at more than $100,000. A permit is required for repairs larger than 25 square feet. Owner Danny Williams has worked in concrete and flooring for 31 years, and he opened BA Sidewalk Restoration in 2026 to do this work under his own name.

FAQ
Common questions
Where can I find a concrete contractor near me in Oakland?

We handle sidewalk repair, trip hazard removal, compliance surveys, polished concrete and epoxy floors. Our hours are 7:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Saturday. Call us and ask for a free sidewalk assessment.
What sidewalk and concrete services does BA Sidewalk Restoration offer?
Five. We repair and replace sidewalk panels. We remove concrete trip hazards by grinding, saw cutting or replacing the panel. We survey and certify frontage for a sale or a permit file. We polish concrete floors, and we coat floors in epoxy. If your job is not on that list, call and we will tell you plainly whether it is our kind of work.
The City of Oakland sent me a Notice to Repair. How long do I have?
Thirty days. The City of Oakland states that if you receive that letter you must repair the sidewalk within 30 days. That clock covers measuring, pricing, the permit and the concrete, so the first week matters most. Send us a photo of the letter and the frontage and we will tell you what the scope really is before you commit to anything.
Do I need a permit to repair a sidewalk in Oakland?
Over 25 square feet, yes. The City requires a Sidewalk Permit for repairs larger than that. Oakland's own page lists a typical permit at $433 for less than 200 square feet, plus about $0.93 per additional square foot, and asks you to verify permit fees with the City's Permit Counter. If a City tree caused the damage, the City waives the permit cost.
Which cities does BA Sidewalk Restoration serve?
Oakland is our base. We also serve five cities alongside it: San Francisco, Berkeley, San Leandro, Hayward and Fremont. Beyond those we cover Alameda, Emeryville, Piedmont, Richmond, Albany, El Cerrito, Castro Valley, Union City, Newark and Walnut Creek. Call us with your address and we will tell you honestly whether we cover it.
Do you work with property managers, HOA boards and real estate agents?
Yes. That is exactly the kind of work this business is set up for. A property manager needs an accessible route that will not generate a claim. An HOA board needs a defensible record. A listing agent needs the sidewalk cleared before escrow closes. We write the scope in plain language so a board or a seller can approve it without a construction background.
