Driveway Replacement and Repair

How long a driveway lasts usually depends on the type of material used. Here are the average lifespan ranges for a few different types of driveways:

• Asphalt: 15-20 years
• Concrete: 25-40 years
• Brick: 25-50 years

That being said, the actual lifespan may go outside of this range depending on a few factors, including:

• Climate: Both extreme heat and extreme cold can adversely affect the lifespan of your driveway. 
• Traffic: Cars going in and out of your driveway will naturally lead to wear and tear. 
• Maintenance: Driveways need some level of maintenance to stay in their best shape.

No matter how long you’ve had your driveway, you should always contact a professional to evaluate the damage and see if it needs to be replaced or not.

We understand that driveway replacement and repair can be difficult to decide between. There’s actually no precise answer to this question, it just depends on the situation. As mentioned, if you have small surface cracks, it’s usually best to repair your driveway. It’s much quicker and less expensive than getting a new driveway. If your driveway has major damage, though, you can save money by getting a new one.

Yes, a new driveway is worth it. Having a smooth driveway without cracks can massively improve your home’s curb appeal. It can also positively affect the resale value and how potential buyers perceive your home. Besides monetary benefits, a new driveway is much safer than a damaged one. You won’t have to worry about tripping and falling because of a large crack or pothole. 

The exact price for driveway replacement or repair varies widely. It depends on the scope of the damage, what type of material it’s made of, how wide or long your driveway is, and so on.
