Driveway replacement in Vancouver, WA and Clark County

Signs it’s time to replace your driveway

Cracks across most of the panels, sections that have sunk or tilted, edges that have broken off, and water that pools in the same spots every time it rains. Older driveways that were poured thin or on poor ground tend to show all of these at once.

Tearing out the old driveway

The old concrete is broken up, loaded and hauled away. Then the ground underneath gets the attention the first driveway probably didn’t: soft spots dug out, the base rebuilt with compacted gravel, and the slope set so water runs toward the street or a drain instead of toward the garage.

Changing the size, shape or finish

Replacing a driveway is the easiest time to make it wider, add a parking pad, change the shape or switch the finish. A lot of people go from plain concrete to exposed aggregate, or add a stamped border.

What driveway replacement costs

HomeAdvisor lists an average of $5,009 for concrete driveway and flatwork jobs in Vancouver, WA, with most between $2,643 and $7,402. A replacement costs more than a new driveway of the same size because the old one has to be broken up and hauled away first. Our concrete cost guide goes through what else changes the price.
