Cost to replace driveway
Posted on 11/19/23 at 9:07 am

Drought finished mine off. About 1900 sq feet. Any ideas on what a proper replacement will cost? Thanks.

Last spring had a price to replace about 1200 sq ft was $15,000. Remove old driveway and pour new concrete.

Concrete is the most overpriced bullshite material. No way it should cost that much.

$10 a sq ft for the pour and $3k for demo and haul off of previous material sounds about right.

Man I believe you after seeing the two other posts. That is BS.

How does a drought ruin a concrete driveway?

Yeah I got quoted $20k for my driveway, which is by no means large. I actually laughed at the guy because I thought he was joking.
I could flip my kitchen for about $20k, but apparently pouring concrete is way more involved than that.

$10/sqft to pour is pretty high. It should be in $6-8/sqft range from what I’ve seen. I poured my driveway back in March, but I subbed some of it myself. Worked out to <$5 sqft, including forming material, keyway, rebar, steel, etc.
There is a high profit margin in pouring/finishing concrete.
I have no idea what removal would cost. That could be pretty expensive. There’s been a few threads recently on concrete.

dirt/clay shrinkage. mine was cracked up bad before this summer and now the cracks have all gotten wider and my driveway is even more uneven. also ahve a few new hairline cracks leading up to the house foundation witch is poured together it looks like. so thats nice.

I got 1100 sqft demo and newly poured with fiber for 8800.
Posted on 11/20/23 at 3:28 pm to PeteRose
That sounds more reasonable. Are they doing fiber now instead of reinforcing metal these days? Standard concrete strength?
Posted on 11/21/23 at 10:10 pm to Sixafan
Some people still do mesh wire, rebar. Fiber is more new than those two. I did some reading on it and was happy with it. All concretes will eventually crack. I have mine for also a year and still nothing.

Just paid 4500 for 800 sq feet addition (no removal of old).
Let it cure for a week and already cracked (small crack all the way across right in the middle but still).
