What goes into building a concrete sidewalk in Redmond?
Concrete sidewalk building in Redmond means breaking out a worn walk, or starting fresh, and pouring a new one that's even underfoot, sheds rain and fits in with the concrete around it.
Most calls start with a walk that's cracked through, lifted at one edge or wearing away on top, or with a path from the driveway to the door you've never had. The price moves with the walk's length and width, whether old concrete has to come out first, how much of it has to match what stays, and whether it runs along the street, where the city asks for more. The schedule turns mostly on that street question, because if your walk needs a permit, that step sets the start date. If the walk ends at front steps in rough shape too, we can quote new concrete steps at the same visit.
How do you know your sidewalk needs replacing?
Cracks running across slabs
A crack that wanders through the middle of a slab usually means the concrete broke where nobody gave it a joint, or the ground under it moved. Water gets in every time it rains, and the pieces on either side start working loose.
One slab higher than the next
A raised edge at a joint usually comes from roots pushing up or the ground shifting under one section. It's a trip waiting to happen, and the gap tends to grow each season, not shrink.
A rough, flaking top
When the surface peels off in flakes and leaves pits behind, the top layer is breaking down from water and freezing. Once it starts it spreads, and there's no patch that holds well on a top that's coming apart.
How our concrete sidewalk building works
Before anything else, I settle with you where the new concrete meets the old, because when a new walk ties into an old one we work to match the finish and color so it doesn't look patched. If the walk runs along the street, we sort out the city side before anyone breaks ground. Then our crew breaks out and hauls off the old walk, sets forms to the line with a slight fall so rain runs off the walk and away from your house, and places the concrete. We finish the top and edges, cut control joints, shallow grooves that give the slab a straight place to crack instead of a random one, and leave a broom finish, a light brushed texture that gives your shoes grip when it's wet, before the walk cures, which is the wait that lets concrete gain its strength.
A new walk usually leads somewhere that could use work too. If it ends at a garage with a cracked or stained slab, we can price garage floor concrete on the same quote so the two meet cleanly, and if plain gray isn't what you want, decorative concrete adds color or texture to the walk itself.

What happens after you call about a sidewalk in Redmond?
From your side it's three steps, and you deal with me from the first visit through the last of the cleanup.
Call or send the form
Call (425) 285-8289 or use the form, and tell us the walk's rough length and width, whether it runs along the street or sits on your lot, and any old walk it has to match. We get back to you to pick a time for me to come out.
I measure and quote it
I look at the site, measure and ask how you'll use the walk, then send a written quote with each part of the job on its own line. You see what the removal, the concrete, the finish and any city work cost, so nothing is buried in one number.
We set a date and pour
Once you say go, we set a date and take care of the permit side if the job needs one. I run the job on site from breaking out the old walk to the cleanup.
Why Redmond homeowners call Allied Redmond Concrete for a new walk
If your walk is past saving, ask for an estimate and I'll come take a look.
I quote it and run it
I come out to look at the walk myself, and I'll know on that visit whether it sits on your lot or in Redmond's right-of-way, which changes the rules it has to meet. Our crew does the work with me on site, so the person who quoted it is the one you talk to on pour day.
In business since 2021
We've been at this since 2021, five years now, and slabs that sit level and shed water are what we're known for. I left a desk job to build things I could stand on, and a sidewalk takes that about as literally as it gets.
Licensed and insured, proof on request
We're licensed and insured. Ask for proof at the estimate and compare it with anyone else you're talking to, because it's the first thing that matters if something goes wrong on your property.
Sidewalk work in Redmond and the cities around it
A walk along the street sits in Redmond's public right-of-way, which covers the street, on-street parking and the sidewalk, and the city's Public Works Director issues the permit for any work there. If your job needs a permit, I tell you at the estimate, and we handle the application and the inspection requests. Street-side work brings two more city requirements, a traffic control plan when the work affects people walking or driving past, which a sidewalk job usually does, and open access to every property the whole time, worked out with the neighbors it touches. Next to a rolled curb, the city's standard also calls for a thicker walk, so that stretch takes more concrete. For a path on your own lot, I'll tell you at the estimate whether it needs a permit, and if a question goes past what we handle, I'll point you to the right office through the city's construction and permits page.
We're based in Redmond and work in the cities around it. We see a lot of half-replaced walks here, one newer slab beside three old ones, and front walks lifted where a street tree's roots got under them, and we meet the same things on jobs in Kirkland and Bellevue, where we check that city's rules before we break ground.
Questions about sidewalk building in Redmond
(425) 285-8289Do I need a city permit to build a sidewalk in Redmond?
Yes, if the walk runs along the street, because that's city right-of-way and the city issues a permit for any work in it. For a walk on your own lot, I'll tell you at the estimate whether you need one, and we handle the application when a job does.
How much does a concrete sidewalk cost near Seattle?
A concrete sidewalk in the Seattle area usually costs about $7.50 to $11.90 per square foot. That's the going rate around here, not our price, and breaking out an old walk, matching an old color or a thicker stretch by a curb can push yours toward the top. The estimate gives you the number for your walk, with each part listed.
What is the best concrete for a sidewalk that freezes in winter?
Air-entrained concrete holds up best, because the tiny air bubbles spread evenly through it give freezing water room to relieve pressure inside the slab. Redmond's sidewalk standard calls for it, and you can ask for it on any outdoor walk, not just one along the street.
Who can build a concrete sidewalk in Washington?
Any construction contractor working in Washington has to be registered with the state Department of Labor & Industries and be bonded and insured. The same concrete specialty also colors and repairs concrete, so one contractor can build your walk and handle fixes later.
Will a new sidewalk section match my old one in Redmond?
It should, because Redmond's standard calls for a matching finish and a coloring agent whenever new sidewalk joins existing sidewalk, unless the City Engineer directs a different finish. On a city walk that finish is struck off, troweled, lightly brushed across the walk and edged, and our own tie-ins get the same care described above.
How do I keep a new concrete sidewalk from flaking in winter?
Think about what you spread on it, because surface scaling, the flaking of the top layer, is the most common kind of frost damage to concrete and it's linked to de-icing salt. When you compare quotes, ask whether sealing the new walk is included.
Concrete work that often goes with a walk
Garage floor concrete
When the slab inside your garage is cracked, dusting or sloping the wrong way, a new floor gives you a sound surface that lines up with the walk outside.
Decorative concrete
For an entry walk you see every day, color, a stamped pattern or a textured finish can make plain concrete look like part of the house.
