Driveway repair can be costly, and unfortunately is considered to be a maintenance issue of home ownership.  Believe it or not, a damaged driveway can be a deal-breaker on an otherwise marketable home, but offers extremely low (and often no) return on investment.  If you’re thinking of selling your home and your driveway needs some repairs you should ask your agent if they feel your driveway is going to hurt the sale of your home.  If you decide that you need to go ahead with repair, or if you aren’t selling your home and just want to fix up the driveway for yourself, speak with several contractors and get multiple bids (ask friends, family, and even your agent for recommendations!).  Finally, depending on how damaged your driveway is, consider resurfacing instead of replacing, which is likely to be much more affordable.
