How Much Will My New Concrete Driveway Cost?

When you’re thinking about replacing your driveway or any other concrete project, cost is always a major concern. That’s just natural. The cost of a concrete replacement driveway or other concrete paving project depends on a number of factors, some of which can’t be determined without a visit to the property and assessment of what is needed to do the job right. While some driveway paving companies may give you a price quote over the phone, later, when you get the final bill, that price quote may go right out the window. At Richfield Concrete, we won’t quote you a price until we’ve visited the job site, measured the area to be paved, evaluated the conditions there, and discussed all options with the property owner. Then, we’ll make an accurate price estimate for the job. Some of the factors that are involved in the price of any paving job include:

• Size – The size of the driveway, patio, or other area to be paved must be accurately measured. Since concrete paving is priced by the square foot, these measurements are very important.
• Demolition Requirements – The type of materials already in place and their condition also plays a role in determining the cost of the project. Existing concrete or asphalt must be removed and hauled away for recycling.
• Sub-base Needs – For a concrete replacement driveway, the existing sub-base may be adequate and only need grading. If the sub-base must be replaced, that is another factor in making an estimate.
• Options – Any options you choose for your driveway or other concrete surfaces will affect the price, too. Our concrete paving consultant will explain all these options and answer all of your questions, then let you make the final decision.

Changes During The Project May Affect the Price

Richfield Concrete’s initial price estimates are very accurate, because we take special care to make certain we’ve taken all factors into consideration. Most final bills end up be the same as the estimate. However, changes in the project can change the total price. If the property owner decides to change something or we discover a condition that could not be known at the time of the estimate, the price may have to be adjusted. In such situations, we discuss the changes immediately with the property owner before proceeding with the project. Unlike some contractors, Richfield Concrete will never give you a final bill that contains surprises or hidden charges. We know you need an accurate price as soon as possible, and will always strive to make sure you have the correct price in advance.
