THE PCC MIDWEST ADVANTAGE
Why Midwest Property Owners Choose the PCC Midwest Approach
Not all sidewalk repairs actually solve the problem. The PCC Midwest Advantage is about fixing trip hazards the right way—cleanly, precisely, and without unnecessary cost or disruption. On this page, you’ll see why our concrete cutting approach delivers safer walkways, longer-lasting results, and better value for Midwest homes, neighborhoods, and communities.
Cutting the Problem at Its Source
Many traditional sidewalk repairs remove only part of a trip hazard. Grinding reduces height but often leaves rough textures, uneven slopes, or areas that still fail ADA guidelines—especially near edges or tight corners.
PCC Midwest uses precision concrete cutting to eliminate the hazard entirely. By cutting the concrete flush across the full width of the affected area, we restore a smooth, even walking surface that blends naturally with the surrounding sidewalk.
This approach produces cleaner results, works in more locations, and holds up better over time—especially in Midwest climates.
The PCC Advantage
Grinding & Scabbling
These methods focus on surface reduction. While they may reduce height, they often leave inconsistent textures, visible scarring, and incomplete slope correction. In many cases, the hazard is reduced—but not fully resolved.
The PCC Midwest Method
Our method removes the raised edge completely and reshapes the transition to meet ADA standards across the entire panel. The finished surface is smooth, flush, and safer for everyday foot traffic.
BETTER RESULTS.
LESS COSTLY.
Replacing sidewalk panels is expensive, disruptive, and often unnecessary. PCC Midwest’s cutting method provides a cost-effective alternative that improves safety without tearing out concrete or closing walkways.
Repairs are completed quickly, sidewalks remain accessible, and the area is safe to use immediately. For Midwest homes and communities, this means fewer interruptions, lower costs, and a solution that fits real-world conditions—not ideal scenarios.
Over time, this approach helps reduce liability while preserving existing infrastructure.
