Answers & Advice from LCI Concrete

Tips on Replacing Your Driveway

For home improvements, few projects make as significant an impact as replacing your driveway. Not only does it enhance your home’s curb appeal, but it also adds value and safety to your property. Kalan Paul, owner of LCI Concrete, a trusted name in the community with 19 years of experience and over 1,300 completed driveway projects, answers some of the most common questions homeowners have about upgrading their driveways.

How Long Does It Take to Replace a Driveway?

Time is often the first concern when planning any home improvement project. The good news? LCI Concrete has efficiency down to a science.

“On an average driveway, our turnaround time is one day,” said Paul.

But when can you use your brand-new driveway?

“You can safely walk on it the next morning.” However, LCI recommends waiting three days before driving on it, ensuring optimal strength and durability.

Plus, Kalan handles every estimate, providing homeowners with a written quote within one to two days after his visit.

How Much Does a New Driveway Cost?

Cost transparency is a big deal for homeowners, and LCI Concrete takes that seriously.

“What we quote is exactly what you’ll pay,” Paul assured. “Unless a customer asks for additional work, the price doesn’t change.”

There’s also no deposit required—LCI only collects payment after the project completion and the customer is happy. This customer-first approach makes the process smooth and stress-free.

What Are My Design Options?

Driveways don’t have to be dull or cookie-cutter. LCI Concrete offers custom designs to suit every style.

“We can customize a driveway in any shape, form, or fashion,” Paul explained. From scoring cuts to unique patterns, the possibilities are endless. One standout project? A double driveway weaving up a hillside, blending functionality with stunning design.

This level of customization allows homeowners to turn a basic driveway into a feature that complements their home’s architecture.

How Does a New Driveway Add Value to My Home?

A driveway isn’t just a path to your garage—it’s a first impression.

“Replacing the driveway on an average house can make it look 10 years newer,” he said. A smooth, well-designed driveway boosts curb appeal, which can attract potential buyers and even increase your home’s market price.

Plus, a new driveway improves safety by eliminating cracks and trip hazards—a win-win for homeowners and their guests.

Tips for Choosing the Right Contractor

Paul offers some solid advice for homeowners considering a driveway replacement:

• Experience Matters: Ask how long they’ve been in business and how many projects they’ve completed. LCI boasts 19 years in business and over 1,300 driveway replacements.
• Check for Insurance: Ensure your contractor is fully insured to protect your investment.
• Look for Reviews: Positive customer feedback speaks volumes.
• Construction Quality: Always use rebar reinforcement throughout the concrete, which can, “add up to 20 years to the life of your project”.

These steps ensure you’re hiring a contractor who values quality and customer satisfaction.
