CONCRETE SIDEWALKS, WALKWAYS AND STAIRS IN OAKLAND COUNTY, LIVINGSTON COUNTY AND WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN
Cracked, heaving, or uneven concrete sidewalks and steps are more than an eyesore. They are a liability. A raised section of sidewalk or a crumbling set of front steps is a fall risk for your family, your guests, and anyone walking by your property. All American Cement handles concrete sidewalk replacement, walkway installation, and stair work for homeowners throughout Oakland County and Wayne County. Every project is run by owner DuWayne Fulcher, who has been doing this work in the area for over 30 years.
Safe, Clean, and Built to Last
All American Cement uses the same 4,000 PSI 6-bag mix for sidewalk and walkway work that we use on driveways and patios. That matters because sidewalks take constant freeze-thaw stress. A lower-quality mix will pop and flake at the surface within a few winters. A higher-strength mix with a proper base underneath it will stay clean and solid for decades.
We also set proper pitch on all walkways so water drains away from the surface instead of pooling and refreezing. That drainage detail makes a significant difference in how long the surface holds up over time.
Sidewalk and Walkway Installation
All American Cement installs new concrete sidewalks and walkways for residential properties throughout the area. Whether you need a public-side sidewalk replaced, a front walkway from the street to your door, a path to a backyard entrance, or a utility walkway around the side of your home, we handle the full job from demo to pour.
We set proper widths, slopes, and control joints on every walkway so the finished product looks clean, functions correctly, and holds up through Michigan seasons.
Concrete Steps and Stair Replacement
Front steps and entrance stairs take more abuse than almost any other concrete surface on a property. They carry constant foot traffic, get salted in winter, and are fully exposed to freeze-thaw cycles. When steps start to crack, chip at the edges, or settle unevenly, replacement is usually the better long-term call over patching.
All American Cement replaces concrete steps and stoops for residential properties. We remove the existing structure, prep the base, form and pour new steps to the correct dimensions, and finish them to match the profile you want. The result is a set of steps that are structurally sound, safe to use, and built to hold up.
When to Replace vs. Repair
Not every crack or surface chip requires a full replacement. Here is a general guide:
- Surface scaling or minor surface cracks: may be manageable with sealing depending on the depth and cause
- Heaving or settled sections creating a trip hazard: replacement is usually the right call
- Wide cracks that have shifted vertically: structural replacement needed
- Crumbling edges or missing sections on steps: replacement is safer and more durable than patching
- Multiple issues across a large run of sidewalk: full replacement is more cost-effective than patchwork repairs over time
If you are not sure whether your sidewalk or steps need repair or replacement, call DuWayne. He will come out and give you an honest assessment at no charge.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Sidewalks and Stairs
How much does it cost to replace a concrete sidewalk in Oakland County?
Sidewalk replacement pricing depends on the linear footage, the width of the walk, whether the existing concrete needs to be removed, and site conditions. All American Cement provides free written estimates for every project. Call or text (248) 224-6051 to schedule a time.
Do I need a permit to replace my sidewalk?
Public-side sidewalks that run along the street may require a permit from your municipality, depending on where you live in Oakland County or Wayne County. Private walkways on your own property typically do not. All American Cement will advise you on what your specific city or township requires during the estimate visit.
Can concrete steps be repaired, or do they have to be replaced?
Minor surface chips or small edge breaks can sometimes be repaired with a bonding agent and patching compound, but the results are often temporary. Full structural cracks, settled footings, or steps that have shifted significantly are better addressed with a full replacement. DuWayne Fulcher will give you an honest recommendation based on what he sees on-site.
How long does sidewalk or step replacement take?
Most residential sidewalk and stair replacements are completed in one day of active work. Concrete needs 24 to 48 hours before foot traffic. We give you a full timeline before the project starts.
