Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway?
Concrete driveways offer a wealth of benefits over other materials like asphalt or gravel. Here's why Pensacola homeowners consistently choose concrete:
Durability: Concrete is incredibly strong and can withstand heavy loads, harsh weather conditions, and the wear and tear of daily use for decades.
Low Maintenance: Unlike asphalt, which requires regular sealing and patching, concrete requires minimal upkeep. A simple power wash every few years will keep it looking its best.
Versatility: Concrete can be customized in countless ways with colors, textures, patterns, and finishes to perfectly complement your home's style.
Increased Property Value: A well-maintained concrete driveway adds curb appeal and can boost your home's resale value.

How much does it cost to install a concrete driveway?
It should cost between 5 and 7 dollars per square foot without resurfacing. Overlay additions may add up to 7 dollars on top of the concrete driveway footage, and up to 20 for more intricate textures. However, concrete driveway resurfacing is far cheaper than complete replacement. Cost is estimated based on driveway size and length, level of surface preparation, the form of driveway resurfacing method, and any additional services like concrete staining or scoring.
How can I fix crumbling driveways?
You can resurface a crumbling driveway when there’s minor cracks and discoloration by first clearing cracks and debris with a pressure washer or a sponge with hot water. Let it dry. For larger cracks, seal it with a patching compound. Then you can pour the overlay, which needs to be spread evenly with at least a 2 inch thickness, which should then dry over 24 hours. Then, the concrete needs to be sealed to keep your driveway durable and tough.
Can only part of a driveway be replaced?
Driveways can sometimes be replaced partly, but the older and new concrete will show an obvious difference. You can avoid this by using decorative concrete resurfacing to create a smooth and clean appearance.
What’s better, driveway replacement or driveway repair?
This depends on a range of factors. Driveways should only be replaced when they have large cracks, crumbling sides, or sinking areas. Minor repairs can be completed for hairline cracks, slight unevenness, small holes, or discoloration.
How are concrete driveways repaired and resurfaced?
First the area will be prepared by clearing away debris and grime, and then cleaned with either a pressure washer or soap and a sponge. Then the driveway will be evenly coated using a trowel. Then the coating will be sealed according to factory instructions, spread evenly, and left to dry.
What is the cost of driveway concrete resurfacing?
