Searching for a NYC Sidewalk Contractor? Here's What You Should Know About Eden, and About Us
If you've been getting quotes for sidewalk repair or dealing with a DOT violation notice, there's a good chance you've already come across the Eden name. It's one of the most visible names in NYC sidewalk repair, and it shows up across several different websites. We put this guide together to help you understand what you're looking at when you see the Eden name online, what to check before you hire anyone, and how we, QuickFix Sidewalk NYC, compare on the details that actually matter.
Eden's Websites at a Glance
When we looked into it, here's what we found: the Eden name is attached to several separate websites, each with its own domain, phone number, and in some cases its own address.
- edensidewalkrepair.com: "Eden Sidewalk Repair NYC," based at 2423 Esplanade Ave, Bronx, NY, reachable at 718-577-5999. Focused on sidewalk repair, driveway repair, curbs, and fire escape maintenance.
- edenconstructionny.com: "Eden Sidewalk Contractors NYC" / "Eden Construction NY," based at 2569 Lurting Ave, Bronx, NY, reachable at (718) 673-5555. Covers sidewalk repair and replacement, DOT violation removal, driveways, steps, patios, and general concrete work.
- edencontractingny.com: "Eden Contractors NY," described as focused exclusively on sidewalk repair, replacement, and DOT violation removal across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens.
- contractorinny.com: "Eden General Construction," a broader licensed general contracting operation (established 1999, per the site) that lists sidewalk repair and DOT violation removal alongside masonry, patios, and window work.
- edengc.com: "Eden Roofing & Waterproofing," reachable at 718-673-4444, which folds sidewalk repair and violation removal into a roofing and waterproofing focused business.
Beyond those five sites, the Eden name also appears on separate Yelp listings ("Eden Sidewalk Repair" and "Eden Sidewalk Contractors," both in the Bronx) and on separate Facebook pages ("Eden Sidewalk Repairs & Violation Removal Contractors" and "Eden Contractors NY"). Each of these is its own contact point, with its own reviews and, in some cases, its own address.
None of this is unusual on its own. Plenty of contractors run more than one branded site. But since the names and services overlap, we'd suggest confirming which specific entity, phone number, and address you're actually working with, and asking for that entity's license number and certificate of insurance before you sign anything. A little clarity upfront saves confusion later.
What Eden's Sites Say About Their Services
Across the sites we reviewed, the advertised services are broadly similar, though the specifics vary from page to page:
- Experience claims range from "25+ years" and "since 1999" on some pages to "Established in 2014" on a Yelp listing for one of the affiliated entities, and "over 3,900 successfully repaired sidewalks" on another.
- Project totals are cited as "3K+" on one site and "5,000" on another.
- Pricing, where published, ranges from "$5 to $20 per sq ft" on one site's FAQ to a more detailed breakdown on another: a roughly $1,700 minimum job size, $12-$18 per square foot for standard repairs, and $3,000-$5,000 for typical 100-200 sq ft jobs.
- Materials: 4000 PSI concrete is cited consistently, positioned as exceeding standard NYC DOT specifications.
- Certifications listed include NY State MWBE certification, BBB accreditation, Lead-Safe certification, and a set of trade licenses (General Contractor, DCA Home Improvement, Special Rigger, Westchester Home Improvement, Yonkers Excavation).
- Guarantee language is present but general. Sites reference "a comprehensive warranty" with a period that "will vary depending on the type of repair," and a "guaranteed DOT violation removal" line on pricing pages, without one consistently worded guarantee across every domain.
- Process is described as: free estimate, appointment, repair work, then DOT violation dismissal, with permits and paperwork handled on the customer's behalf.
If you're comparing quotes, it's reasonable to ask any Eden-branded entity to confirm current pricing and put guarantee terms in writing.
What We Think You Should Check Before Hiring Anyone
Whoever you're considering, us included, a few things matter more than marketing copy:
- Active DOB/DOT licensing for the specific entity signing your contract, not just a brand name
- A written guarantee that spells out what happens if the sidewalk fails DOT reinspection after the work is done
- Permit handling included in the price, with a clear timeline for filing
- Concrete spec: 4000 PSI is the standard benchmark for NYC sidewalk work
- A written estimate, itemized by labor, materials, permits, and disposal
- Payment terms confirmed in writing before work begins
Ask us these same questions. We'd rather you hire us because the answers hold up, not because we asked you not to check.

FAQs
Who is legally responsible for sidewalk repair in NYC?
Under NYC Administrative Code, the property owner adjacent to the sidewalk is generally responsible for its repair and maintenance, with limited exceptions for certain owner-occupied residences and some government-adjacent properties.
How long do I have to fix a DOT sidewalk violation?
Property owners typically get 75 days from the violation notice to complete the repair. Miss that window and the city can perform the repair itself and bill you at a higher rate, plus place a lien on the property.
How much should I expect to pay for sidewalk repair in NYC?
Published rates across the companies covered in this guide range roughly from $5 to $25 per square foot depending on scope and condition, with full slab replacement often falling between $1,700 and $2,500. We recommend getting a written, itemized estimate before committing to anyone.
Are you licensed?
Yes, we're authorized by the NYC Department of Buildings, the DOT, the Department of Consumer Affairs, NYC Parks, and OSHA.
What happens if my sidewalk fails DOT reinspection after you repair it?
We come back and correct the issue at no additional cost until it clears DOT reinspection. We'd encourage you to get this kind of guarantee in writing from anyone you're considering, us included.
How fast can I get a quote from you? We provide a written estimate within 24 hours of receiving photos of your sidewalk or violation notice, and we can begin filing DOT permits within 3-4 days of a signed estimate.
