Fountain Hill's steep streets between Allentown and Bethlehem are lined with older twins and rowhomes built on tight lots with long front stoops, narrow sidewalks, and rear alleys that demand serious concrete work. We're Allentown Concrete Pros, and we know these neighborhoods inside out.
Homeowners in ZIP 18018 call us when their front steps are crumbling, sidewalks are heaving from freeze-thaw cycles, or driveways are settling into the valley's clay-rich soil. We've repaired hundreds of stoops and walkways in Fountain Hill, and we understand the permitting, the tight access, and the drainage challenges that come with these older properties.
Concrete in Fountain Hill (18018)
Fountain Hill sits on limestone and dolomite bedrock covered by silty, clay-rich residual soil. That matters. The valley floor is prone to sinkholes, and a leaking downspout or broken pipe can wash out the base under a slab faster than you'd expect. Winter brings dozens of freeze-thaw cycles, heavy road salt, and snow that scale and spall unsealed concrete. Your marble or concrete front stoops, narrow sidewalks, and long runs of front steps take a beating. Summer thunderstorms and the occasional tropical remnant dump rain that pools on uneven surfaces, creating trip hazards and accelerating deterioration.
Our team has spent years working on Fountain Hill's steep lots, tight side driveways, and rear alleys. We know how to compact a stone base properly, manage drainage on a grade, and reinforce slabs so they don't settle into the soft soil. We pull permits with the township, coordinate with neighbors on property lines, and leave your lot clean and safe.

How a Job Works in Fountain Hill
We start with a free on-site assessment. We'll walk your property, measure the damaged area, check the grade and drainage, and talk through what's failing and why. Fountain Hill's older lots are tight, so we'll confirm access for equipment and materials before we quote.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work around your calendar and the township permit timeline. We remove damaged concrete, prep the base, set forms if needed, and pour or repair to code. On steep lots or narrow sidewalks, we work carefully to protect adjacent properties and follow Fountain Hill's setback and width requirements. We reinforce slabs in areas prone to settling, and we slope surfaces so water runs away from your foundation.
When we're done, we haul debris, clean up, and walk through the finished work with you. Your property is safe, permitted, and ready for years of use.
Concrete repair and resurfacing in Fountain Hill typically runs from $3 to $5 per square foot, depending on the damage, base condition, and whether sealing is included. New sidewalks, walkways, and front steps start at $6 per square foot. Concrete leveling and slab lifting, which we use to fix settling driveways and uneven walkways, run from $4 per square foot. Sealing unsealed concrete to protect it from salt and freeze-thaw damage costs about $0.75 per square foot and extends the life of your investment significantly. A typical front stoop repair might run $800 to $2,500; a long sidewalk or driveway could be $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on size and condition. Tight lot access, steep grade, or difficult removal can increase costs. Call us at (610) 439-9742 for a free estimate tailored to your Fountain Hill property.
