What HOAs usually own
Responsibility depends on your governing documents and plat. Common-area sidewalks, pool decks, amenity parking, mailbox pads and private streets are often association-owned. Public sidewalks along city streets and individual driveways may fall to the city or the homeowner. Check your CC&Rs and with your city before you bid.
Prioritize the list
- 01
Safety first
Trip hazards over 1/2 inch, broken edges, and settled panels on main walking routes.
- 02
Water problems
Standing water, washouts and failed joints that will grow into bigger repairs.
- 03
Appearance
Cracked but stable panels, staining, and sealing.
Getting bids the board can compare
- Ask for each location numbered on a map with photos
- Price per location so the board can approve in phases
- Specify thickness, reinforcement, and removal for replacement work
- Ask how residents will be notified and how access is kept open
Typical cost ranges
Published ranges: trip-hazard grinding often about $50 to $200 per spot, sidewalk panel replacement about $10 to $18 per square foot (often $500 to $1,500 per panel), and curb repair about $20 to $50 per linear foot.
These are typical published market ranges for Dallas-Fort Worth and national cost guides, not a quote. Your estimate varies with size, access, site conditions, thickness, and finish. Call 903-634-7201 for a free estimate on your job.

HOA Concrete Repair Guide: common questions
Who is responsible for sidewalk repair in an HOA?
It depends on your governing documents and the city. Common-area walks are usually the association’s; public sidewalks along streets may fall under city rules.
How often should an HOA inspect concrete?
Many communities walk the property once a year, and again after big storms or before a reserve study update.
Can repairs be phased to fit the budget?
Yes. With per-location pricing, the board can approve safety items now and schedule the rest.
Do you provide documentation for the board?
We number each location on a site map and send before-and-after photos.
Send us the address. We'll come look.
Photos get you the fastest answer. One wide shot that shows where the problem is, then a couple of close-ups. Put a shoe or a tape measure in the close-ups so we can judge size.
