Concrete Driveways
Transform your property with a durable, professionally installed concrete driveway that lasts for decades.
Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your home. A cracked, uneven, or stained driveway can hurt your curb appeal and property value. At GetItDone Everett Concrete, we specialize in installing beautiful, long-lasting concrete driveways that handle everything from daily traffic to harsh New England weather. Whether you need a brand new driveway or want to replace an old one, we handle the entire process from start to finish.
Why Choose Concrete for Your Driveway?
Concrete driveways are popular in Everett and throughout Massachusetts for good reason. They offer incredible value compared to other materials. Here is what makes concrete the smart choice for your property:
- •Long lifespan: A properly installed concrete driveway can last 30 years or more with basic maintenance.
- •Low maintenance: Unlike asphalt, concrete does not need regular sealing or frequent repairs.
- •Weather resistant: Concrete stands up to freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and summer heat without breaking down.
- •Better appearance: Concrete stays cleaner and looks more professional than gravel or asphalt.
- •Increases home value: A quality concrete driveway boosts your property value and makes your home easier to sell.
- •Design options: Choose from standard gray, decorative finishes, stamped patterns, or colored concrete.
The upfront cost of concrete is higher than asphalt, but when you factor in the longer life and minimal maintenance, concrete driveways actually save you money over time. Plus, they look better for longer.
Our Driveway Installation Process
We do not cut corners. Every driveway we install follows the same proven process that has made us theleading concrete contractor in Everettfor residential and commercial properties. Here is what you can expect when you work with us:
Step 1: Site Preparation
We start by excavating the area and removing any old driveway material, grass, or debris. Proper grading is critical at this stage. We ensure water drains away from your home and garage to prevent future problems. Poor drainage is one of the main reasons driveways fail early.
Step 2: Base Installation
Next, we install a solid gravel base. This layer provides stability and prevents settling or cracking. We compact the base thoroughly using professional equipment. Many contractors skip this step or do it poorly, which leads to problems down the road. We take the time to do it right.
Step 3: Forms and Reinforcement
We set up sturdy forms to shape your driveway and add steel reinforcement or fiber mesh to prevent cracking. This step ensures your driveway can handle heavy vehicles and freeze-thaw cycles without breaking apart.
Step 4: Concrete Pour and Finishing
We pour high-quality concrete mix and work quickly to spread, level, and finish it before it sets. Our team uses professional tools to create a smooth, even surface with the right texture for traction. We add control joints to manage where any future cracks will form (keeping them hidden and harmless).
Step 5: Curing and Protection
After finishing, the concrete needs time to cure properly. We protect the surface and keep it moist for several days. This curing process is what gives concrete its full strength and durability. You will be able to walk on your new driveway in about 24 hours and drive on it within a week.
