Repair or Replace? When to Consider a Cement Driveway Replacement
When you contact us for a free quote, we thoroughly assess your concrete driveway. If we find small cracks, surface flaking (a.k.a. "spalling"), or unevenness, we typically recommend our concrete repair and restoration. We'll recommend a complete concrete driveway replacement if the damage is severe. Here are the signs that you'll need a new driveway from us:
- Large, deep, and numerous cracks
- Significant crumbling or deterioration
- Large potholes
- Severe unevenness or sinking
- Structural Issues with the base or subgrade (soil) beneath the driveway
- You desire a change in the shape, size, or layout
- You want to upgrade to a different material or style
If you're on a budget, we'll tell you that driveway repairs cost less than replacements. Our restorations help prolong your driveway's life, allowing you to get a replacement at a more convenient time. Some old driveways that have suffered significant damage can't be saved, even by our concrete experts. We recommend getting a free estimate from us, where we can discuss your options and develop a solution.
