Concrete Curb Appeal

Is your driveway in need of a facelift?  Are there unsightly cracks, chips and stains on your driveway degrading the overall look of your home?  LCI Concrete specializes in driveway replacement and is the expert to call to get a fresh new look for the entrance to any residence.

“It’s amazing what a new driveway can do for the look of a home,” said Kalan Paul, Owner of LCI. “On an average house built in the ‘70s or ‘80s, it can take 20 years off the look of the house.”  Kalan knows a great deal about curb appeal, with a personal background in real estate and new home construction. He has built a trusted name in concrete driveway repair and replacement with over 14 years in the business. “I don’t think that anyone would lose money replacing a driveway,” said Kalan. “It can really add to the value of their home. It’s a good solid investment.”

The business philosophy at LCI focuses on three major points: customer satisfaction, quality workmanship and materials and speed of project completion.

“Most everyone in the business uses similar materials, but we try to stay at the top on quality at a minimal cost,” said Kalan. “Most projects can be completed in 1-2 days. We want to provide the most convenience possible for our customers.”

The right time to consider a driveway replacement can vary, but overall there are three essential attributes to look for.

Aesthetics – the overall look of the driveway for the need of replacement is usually the most significant factor.  Oil and other car fluid stains, peeling and cracks cannot only make the driveway look unattractive but can also progressively get worse, creating a hazard.

Functionality – Physical hazards, such as holes or cracks will not only cause damage to a vehicle, but can be dangerous to walk, play or ride a bike on.

Legal – An accident that takes place on your property can be a legal nightmare, and a hazardous driveway from a legal perspective could be a huge liability.

LCI can provide expert advice and planning for a new driveway with a quick turn-around time for price quotes.  They are A rated with the BBB and Angie’s List, insured and bonded and have completed over 700 new driveways for happy customers in the area.  Although a 600 square foot minimum is a requirement for a project, this can also include attached sidewalks, porches and back patios.  Special design elements, such as diamond-shaped scoring, can also be incorporated into a new driveway, adding a dramatic and creative new look.

“My favorite part of my work is the quick transformation we see in our projects,” Kalan said. “I love to see the potential in something old and beat up and make it new and beautiful. I love to see the expression of joy on a homeowner’s face when the job is complete.”

In addition to driveway replacement, LCI Concrete is also the company to call for new build and construction driveway work. “It’s really neat to be included in the creative process of a new home build,” Kalan said. “There is so much we can do to make the most incredible entrance to a new home.” 

Now is the time to start planning for spring home projects. Include a fresh, new concrete driveway with all your seasonal landscaping possibilities.  First impressions are lasting, and the view from the curb of your home can make the biggest impression of all. “We have over 100 project address listings on our website so you can see firsthand what we can do,” Kalan said. “We can show you the quality of our work, and what possibilities are there for your new driveway.”
