Before you pay anyone to fix the sidewalk in front of your Romeoville home, check whether the village will do it for you. Romeoville runs its own sidewalk repair program, and that one fact changes how a concrete contractor in Romeoville, IL should scope a front-yard job: the public walk may be the village's, while the driveway, the apron and your front walk are yours.

We replace driveways and aprons, pour patios and walks, and repair settled concrete in Romeoville, about a 15-minute drive east of downtown Plainfield. Here is how the village's rules shape that work.

Romeoville Sidewalk Repair and the 50/50 Program

The Village of Romeoville maintains the public sidewalks along its streets and repairs them through a sidewalk repair program. A section qualifies when the height difference between slabs is a quarter inch or more, the gap between slabs is wider than 5/8 inch, or the surface is deteriorated more than half an inch deep across half or more of a slab. Applications are taken year-round and handled first come, first served by severity, with the work done spring through fall.

Sections that fall short of those criteria, such as a crack with no offset or light surface flaking, may qualify for the village's 50/50 program, where the resident and the village split the cost of replacement. The walk from the public sidewalk to your door is not covered by either program. That one belongs to you, or in some neighborhoods to the homeowners association.

So the honest first step for a trip hazard on the public walk is the village's application form, not a contractor. We are glad to handle the private side: front walks, side paths and stoops, and the leveling and repair that can save a sunken panel.

Romeoville Driveway and Apron Standards

Romeoville's engineering standards for residential driveways and aprons are specific, and a few of them surprise homeowners:

Aprons go back as concrete.Every apron is returned as concrete, even if it was asphalt before. Replacing an asphalt driveway in Romeoville means pouring concrete at the street regardless of what you choose for the rest.
One driveway, one curb cut.Only one driveway and curb cut are allowed per home. The exception is a horseshoe drive on a lot wider than 100 feet. Extra driveways have to be closed and returned to seed or sod.
Width and slope limits.A driveway or curb cut across public property can be no wider than 25 feet, the driveway has to be at least 9 feet wide along its whole length, and its slope has to fall between 2 and 8 percent.
The village's concrete spec.The standard calls for 6 inches of CA-6 stone, welded wire mesh or a fiber additive, and 6 inches of concrete. Where old sidewalk or curb comes out, it is saw-cut full depth at an existing joint so the remaining concrete does not spall.

Romeoville's building code calls for pre-pour and final inspections on driveways, aprons, patios, sidewalks and stoops, so the inspection date belongs in the schedule from the start. For finishes, costs and the decision between repair and replacement, see concrete driveways; for how an apron tear-out and pour goes step by step, see driveway aprons.

Patios and Backyard Slabs in Romeoville

Patios in Romeoville get the same pre-pour and final inspections as driveways under the village building code. Size and placement come from your plat of survey, so that is where a patio estimate starts. Our concrete patio and stamped concrete pages cover finishes and pricing, and concrete flatwork covers shed pads and other slabs.

Who fixes the public sidewalk in Romeoville?

The village maintains public sidewalks along its streets. Sections with a vertical offset of a quarter inch or more, a gap over 5/8 inch, or deep surface damage qualify for its repair program; lesser damage may qualify for the 50/50 cost-share program. Walks leading to your house are the homeowner's responsibility, or the HOA's in some neighborhoods.

Can I keep an asphalt apron in Romeoville?

No. Under the village's engineering standards, aprons are returned as concrete even if they were asphalt before the work.

Can I add a second driveway in Romeoville?

Generally not. Only one driveway and curb cut are allowed per residential property. A horseshoe driveway is the exception, and only on lots wider than 100 feet.

Are inspections required for a new patio or driveway?

Yes. Romeoville's building code lists pre-pour and final inspections for driveways, aprons, patios, sidewalks and stoops.
