NYC Sidewalk Pros is a New York City, New York sidewalk installation and repair contractor serving homeowners, businesses, HOAs and municipalities across the metro since 2008.
Sidewalk damage from storms, vehicles, vandalism, fallen trees and flooding is often covered by your insurance policy — but only if the claim is documented correctly. NYC Sidewalk Pros works with adjusters from every major New York carrier and writes scopes of loss in formats they accept the first time.
Most denied sidewalk claims are denied for one of three reasons: insufficient photos, vague scope of loss, or contractor pricing that doesn't match the carrier's database. Our team documents to insurance industry standards and prices to Xactimate baselines so your claim moves through review in days, not months.

Supplement requests when adjusters miss covered scope
We've worked with State Farm, USAA, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, Nationwide, American Family, Progressive and dozens of regional and surplus carriers. Each one has slightly different documentation preferences, supplemental request channels and unit pricing tables. Our admin team is fluent in all of them and handles the back-and-forth so you don't have to.
New York allows assignment of benefits on property claims, which means we can bill your carrier directly once you sign a one-page form. You only pay the deductible, the carrier pays the rest, and the sidewalk gets repaired without you fronting the cost. We never inflate scopes to game the deductible — that's both unethical and a fast way to lose carrier relationships.
