If you've been getting quotes for sidewalk repair or a DOT violation notice, you may have come across JBS Concrete NYC. We put this guide together to help you understand what's published on their site, what to check before you hire anyone, and how we, QuickFix Sidewalk NYC, compare on the details that actually matter.
JBS Concrete NYC Overview
JBS Concrete NYC is a Bronx-based contractor operating from a single site, jbsconcretenyc.com, with one phone number listed: (347) 773-3118. According to its public business listings, the company has been family owned and operated since 1998.
The site describes JBS as an exterior contractor covering several trades rather than sidewalks alone:
- Concrete and sidewalks: installation, repair, replacement, and DOT violation correction
- Masonry: brick walls, retaining walls, block foundations, tuck pointing, chimneys, and fireplaces
- Roofing: repair, replacement, gutters, and emergency leak response
- Scaffolding: facade access and Local Law 11 support
The company states it is fully licensed, fully insured, fully bonded, and carries workers' compensation coverage, along with an NYC Scaffolding and Rigger License. It lists its main service area as the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island, with its FAQ page confirming Manhattan and the wider NYC metro area as well.
A few things worth noting: pricing, a specific DOT reinspection guarantee, and estimate turnaround times aren't published on the site. JBS states that every project is priced after a free site visit. Its business listing separately notes that it accepts credit cards and cryptocurrency as payment.
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
- 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
Are you the same company as JBS Concrete NYC?
No. We're QuickFix Sidewalk NYC, an independently operated contractor focused specifically on sidewalks and concrete. We put this guide together because we know property owners often compare more than one contractor before hiring.
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?
JBS Concrete NYC doesn't publish pricing and prices each job after a free site visit. We publish our current rates directly: $8 to $25 per square foot for repairs, and $1,700 to $2,500 per slab for full replacement. Either way, get a written, itemized estimate before committing.
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.
Does JBS Concrete NYC only handle sidewalks?
No. Based on their site, JBS also offers masonry, roofing, and scaffolding services in addition to concrete and sidewalk work. Our focus stays specifically on sidewalks and concrete.
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.
