When to call

Related questions
How long does a Toledo concrete driveway last?
25–30 years if installed correctly with rebar + proper thickness + sealed every 3–5 years. Cheap installs (3" thick, no reinforcement) can fail within 8–10 years from freeze-thaw alone.
Concrete vs asphalt — which is better for Toledo?
Concrete: 25-30 year lifespan, more expensive upfront ($6,500 vs $3,500), no annual sealing required (every 3-5 years), better for Toledo freeze-thaw if installed thick + reinforced. Asphalt: cheaper, needs sealing every 2 years, repairs easier, but cracks more in Toledo winters. Most Toledo homes do best with concrete.
