Sidewalk permits in Meriden. Public sidewalks are in the city's right-of-way, so replacing one means a permit and building to the city's detail for thickness, slope and joints. Walkways on your own lot don't usually need one. Roots from public trees are the town tree warden's call before anyone cuts them.

Concrete sidewalks in Meriden: questions
Who is responsible for sidewalk repair in Meriden?
It depends on Meriden's ordinances. State law lets towns put snow-and-ice liability on the abutting owner, and many towns also make owners responsible for repairs. The city's public works or engineering office can confirm the local rule, and we can price the work from any notice you've received.
Do I need a permit for sidewalk work in Meriden?
For a public sidewalk, almost certainly: it's in the city's right-of-way. We apply for the permit and build to the city's requirements. Private walkways on your own lot don't usually need one.
Can a lifted panel be fixed without replacing it?
Often. If the panel is in one piece and has just settled, lifting it with foam and sealing the joints costs much less than replacement. If it's broken or pushed up by roots, replacement is the fix.
Do you repair sidewalks near Meriden?
Yes. We also repair sidewalks in Berlin, Wallingford and Cheshire, and across New Haven County.
