My dad had his driveway and sidewalk mudjacked about 5 years ago. They haven't moved at all. They weren't too cracked though, that might play a part in it.

Depends on the cracks.
But, if you pay for a new one. Make sure they do good work. And make sure they rebarb the whole thing. I don't care if they use the magically cement formula. Rebarb is still best. How thick is the concrete if it gets poured? |

That's a good question. The bid didn't specify. I'll have to ask.

Any concrete guy who wouldn't rebar a ****ing DRIVEWAY (which needs to support weight) is probably not really good at his trade. He should replace it if he has the $$, but make sure that 3,500 dollars includes the removal of the old driveway. Constructions guys can be sneaky like that. |

Around here driveways go for anywhere from $5.50-7.00 sqft for removal and pouring new concrete depending on the contractor, what is being removed, and how desperate the guy is for work.

Reading Valiant and WW's posts got me thinking though I see this in the real world all the time.
When it comes to handy type skilled trade stuff construction, remodeling, in this case concrete and things of that nature I am always surprised by the wide ranging opinions of people who are seemingly very knowledgeable about how something should be done or the standard to which others should hold someone who does that work. As someone who is not at all skilled in any of these areas it can be hard to make heads or tails of. You can get a few guys who do this for a living that seem like trustworthy people who are dealing with you in good faith have a huge variance in how they would go about one thing and usually take it a step further putting clown shoes on a way the other guy would do it. You see this in other facets of life and professions but rarely does the standard of what is good and bad vary so wildly. Is that just me? |

Concrete eventually cracks and stains, but gold will always look good.

heavy gage remesh is sufficient for a residential driveway. Rebar is better, but overkill IMHO.
More and more commercial pavement is being done with fiber reinforcement, no steel at all.
