Common questions
How much does concrete & driveways cost?

Use the HomeTarget cost calculator for a range based on your project size, then request quotes — local pros price the actual job, and requesting quotes is free for homeowners.
How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?
Foot traffic is usually fine after a day or so, but vehicles need to wait — commonly about a week — while the concrete cures and gains strength. Your contractor will give you the timing for your pour, and heavy vehicles may need to wait longer.
Can damaged concrete be patched or resurfaced instead of replaced?
Patching and resurfacing work well when the slab is structurally sound and the damage is cosmetic. If sections are heaved, sunken, or cracked through because the base failed, surface work is temporary and replacing the affected sections is the durable fix.
