My asphalt driveway is cracking pretty bad and it's only 2.5 years old. I knew the job was crappy when the guy did it but it was cheap and it lasted for a bit (I've sealed it every year also) but I think I am ready to move up to cement. Any idea what the cost would be for a 25 x 40 and removing the asphalt ?
Sal is the man. Shoot him a PM.

Thats about the same yardage as I just had done at the house, It was broke up in sections though not one big pour/piece. Paid 6k
I am not a cement guy so I don't know if this is one piece and then they cut it or if it would be several sections. 6k is more than I was hoping to pay.Quote:

Shitty part is that for 1000sft you are at about 11yards, which can not all fit in one truck.

How much does one truck hold ? I can add another 30x40 for my pole barn if I can get it for 3.50Quote:

What does the 3.50 a sq ft cover? removal and install? so all the labor and everything baked into that 3.50?Quote:

That price is just general and will vary with site conditions and unique requirements. Price per/sf can easily jump to $5-6 range.

I wouldnt mind having a little bit of work done myself. We should try to pachage deal this! Like a spot for my shed, and behind my garage to put a car on.
rent a can, remoev the old yourself. regrade everything, learn to DIY. Thats your best bang for the buck. Will it be as good as a proffesional job? All depends on how serious you are about it and whether you do it right. At the end of the day, your time and effort is worth $x,xxx. The materials at least $3,500. So if your time and effort is more cost effective than the difference of someone else doing it, then I think you have your answer.
Personally, If your questioning 6k for the main drive, the much larger pole barn will make you cry.
Sal did a small job for me a couple years ago. I had to wait a few weeks after he prepped it until they had another job in the area. Worth the wait though.

Thanks guys.. We do work from St. Clair Shores to Jackson... Toledo Ohio to Midland.Quote:
