To install a concrete driveway or asphalt driveway at your residence, office, or business, you may need to hire a paver. They can also repair damaged asphalt or concrete driveways due to weather or time. You should request estimates from at least three contractors for your driveway. They should come to your site and send you a proposal detailing the work involved and materials needed. The cost estimate will also be included.

Concrete stamping looks the same as stamped overlay, right? Not quite. Both options offer stamped concrete patterns. The traditional stamped concrete Fort Wayne describes the patterns being stamped onto a new slab. However, overlay refers to the stamping of the patterns on a brand-new overlay that sits on top a functional slab. Between them, overlays are less expensive. In cases where driveways, pool decks or patios have been severely damaged, traditional stamped cement is recommended. When the slab has been so severely damaged that it is impossible to repair, the concrete must be replaced with new concrete and stamped. Fort Wayne has many surfaces that need to be resurfaced.

The first step in any driveway repair is to determine what caused it. Next, you need to decide the best way to fix it. Your options for driveway repairs depend on how the concrete is doing and what your budget allows. You can do a simple color change by adding a coat of stain or a complete concrete resurfacing using a decorative overlay.
The cost of the new driveway and the work required will be determined by where it is located. First, excavate your ground to create a path. This involves removing any stumps, bushes or trees. Next, the driveway contractor graded the area, creating a level surface to allow concrete or asphalt to be applied. A sub-base should be placed by driveway contractors of compacted gravel (4-8 inches) depending on the soil. Next, concrete or asphalt may then be poured. The driveway contractor should recommend the correct sealant for your climate. They will also advise you on the curing process.
