Concrete Driveway Services - FAQ

1. How long does it take to install a concrete driveway?
The installation process typically takes 3 to 5 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. This includes site preparation, pouring, and finishing. After installation, the concrete needs to cure for at least 7 days before it can handle light traffic and 28 days for full strength.

​

2. How thick should a concrete driveway be?
For residential driveways, we pour the concrete at a thickness of 4 inches, which is sufficient for most vehicles. For driveways that will regularly support heavier vehicles, like trucks or RVs, we recommend a thickness of 5 to 6 inches.

​

3. What type of maintenance is required for a concrete driveway?
Concrete driveways are relatively low-maintenance. We recommend sealing the driveway every 2 to 3 years to protect against stains, weather damage, and wear. Regularly cleaning the surface and addressing any minor cracks or chips as they appear will also help prolong its lifespan.

​

4. Will my new driveway crack?
All concrete has the potential to crack over time, but we take several measures to minimize this risk. We include control joints in the design to manage cracking, and we reinforce the concrete with steel mesh or rebar for added durability. Proper maintenance, such as sealing, also helps prevent cracking.

​

5. Can I customize the appearance of my concrete driveway?
Absolutely! We offer a variety of finishes, including smooth, brushed, and stamped textures. You can also choose from different colors and patterns to create a driveway that complements your home’s exterior.

​

6. How does weather affect the installation of a concrete driveway?
Weather conditions are crucial to the installation process. We avoid pouring concrete during extreme temperatures or when rain is expected, as these conditions can affect the curing process and the overall quality of the driveway. We’ll work with you to schedule installation during optimal weather conditions.

​

7. What should I do to prepare for the installation?
We handle all aspects of site preparation, including excavation and grading. However, you may need to arrange for the removal of vehicles and other items from the driveway area. We’ll provide you with specific instructions before the project begins.

​

8. What if my driveway gets damaged?
If your driveway sustains damage, we offer repair services, including crack filling, resurfacing, and patching. It’s important to address any damage promptly to prevent it from worsening over time.

​

9. How long will my concrete driveway last?
With proper installation and maintenance, a concrete driveway can last 30 years or more. Regular sealing, cleaning, and prompt repairs will help extend its lifespan.

​

10. Do you offer any warranties on your concrete driveway services?
Yes, we provide a 1-year warranty on workmanship and materials for all new concrete driveway installations. This warranty covers issues related to the installation process, such as cracking or settling, but does not cover damage caused by external factors like heavy loads, extreme weather, or improper maintenance.
