I remember that there were lots of WPA sidewalk stamps in that area. A. F. Thompson, too. And Winberg & Kurtz. Kids notice these things more, being closer to the ground . . . .

If several nearby houses hire the same contractor for repairs on the same day, costs of bringing in equipment and ready-mixed concrete are lower. Most contractors are willing to discount their price accordingly. For names of a few recommended contractors see our website, DEXMIL.com in the Repairs and Renovations section.
