Cracked, sunken, or spalling sidewalks are more than cosmetic issues—they create tripping hazards and lower curb appeal. For residential neighborhoods across San Antonio, timely concrete repair protects property value and keeps families safe. CountBricks combines on-site expertise with AI-driven estimating to deliver accurate budgets and superior craftsmanship for every sidewalk repair project.
The Alamo City’s unique mix of expansive clay soils, extreme summer heat, and periodic flash flooding is tough on concrete.
• Clay soils swell and shrink, lifting and dropping concrete panels
• Intense UV rays accelerate surface drying, leading to hairline cracking
• Rapid temperature swings stress expansion joints
• High salinity in some irrigation water speeds up rebar corrosion
Understanding these local stressors lets CountBricks craft long-lasting repair strategies rather than quick patches.
1. Voice-Driven Site Walkthrough – Using the CountBricks mobile app, our project manager records real-time notes and measurements, instantly turning spoken observations into a detailed takeoff.
2. AI Estimate Generation – The app references current material costs, labor rates, and task durations in San Antonio to build a line-item quote in seconds.
3. Homeowner Review – You receive a clear, editable proposal, complete with optional upgrades such as decorative scoring or integral color.
4. Permitting & HOA Coordination – CountBricks handles municipal sidewalk permits and communicates with your HOA, saving you paperwork headaches.
5. Precision Demolition – Only damaged panels are removed, protecting nearby landscaping and utilities.
6. Sub-Base Stabilization – We inject expanding polyurethane or install cement-treated base where soils have settled.
7. Reinforced Pour – New 3,000-psi concrete is poured with #3 rebar dowels epoxied into adjoining slabs for long-term load transfer.
8. Finishing & Curing – Our crews broom-finish the surface for slip resistance, apply curing compound, and install expansion joints every 5’.
9. Final Walkthrough & Digital Invoice – You approve the work via the CountBricks app, and your invoice is generated automatically.
Every home is different, yet CountBricks sees consistent cost drivers in Bexar County:
• Scope of demolition (full panel versus corner-to-corner crack)
• Access constraints—backyard walkways often require wheelbarrow transport
• Required thickness upgrades to meet ADA or city specifications
• Decorative finishes such as stamped patterns or colored sealers
• Mobilization fees when projects are under 50 sq ft
Because CountBricks sources local ready-mix suppliers daily, your estimate reflects up-to-the-minute pricing with zero hidden markups. Visit CountBricks.com/services for a sample pricing matrix.
San Antonio homeowners are handy, but sidewalk repair demands more than a mixer and a Saturday afternoon.
DIY Challenges
• Jackhammer rentals raise noise and safety concerns

Concrete production carries a carbon footprint, so CountBricks mitigates impact by:

• Offering permeable concrete options that reduce storm-water runoff
• Reroute downspouts away from walkways to prevent undermining
• Reseal concrete every three years with a breathable silane sealer
• Plant drought-tolerant groundcover instead of thirsty turf along edges
• Trim tree roots early—oak and pecan roots are sidewalk’s #1 enemy
