Concrete Driveways Built to Last
We install smooth, durable driveways that boost curb appeal and handle daily wear for years.
Service Details
A concrete driveway should do more than give you a place to park. It should improve curb appeal, handle daily traffic, and hold up through Michigan weather. At 616 Custom Construction, we build concrete driveways that are made to last and finished to look clean, straight, and professional.
Our concrete driveway service covers both new installation and full replacement. We start by looking at the layout, slope, drainage, access, and soil conditions. That planning matters. A driveway that is too thin, poorly graded, or set on a weak base can crack, settle, or collect water. We take the time to build it the right way from the ground up.
Most projects include excavation, removal of old materials if needed, base preparation, grading, form setting, reinforcement, concrete placement, finishing, and control joints. We use proper compaction and base work to help support the slab and reduce movement over time. We also pay close attention to pitch and runoff so water moves away from your home, garage, and walkway areas.
We install standard broom-finish concrete driveways as well as options that improve appearance and traction. Depending on the project, we can discuss driveway width, apron transitions, parking extensions, border details, and clean edge lines that fit the style of your home and landscape. If you want a simple, durable surface or a more custom look, we can help you choose the right approach.
Concrete is a strong, low-maintenance choice for homeowners who want long-term value. Compared to worn gravel or failing asphalt, a properly installed concrete driveway offers a solid surface, easier snow removal, less loose material, and a cleaner overall appearance. It can also boost property value and make everyday use more convenient.
We know that driveway work is a big investment, so we focus on clear communication, dependable scheduling, and quality workmanship from start to finish. If your current driveway is cracked, uneven, sinking, or simply past its prime, we are ready to help.

Our Concrete Driveway Process
At 616 Custom Construction, we keep concrete driveway projects simple, organized, and built to last. From the first site visit to the final walkthrough, we focus on drainage, durability, clean workmanship, and clear communication.
On-Site Visit and Driveway Plan
We visit your property to measure the driveway area, check grading, drainage, access, and soil conditions, and learn how the space needs to function for daily use. Then we outline layout options, concrete thickness, reinforcement, finish choices, and a realistic schedule so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
Base Prep and Concrete Placement
We remove failed material as needed, fine-grade the area, and build a compacted base that supports a long-lasting concrete driveway and helps prevent settling or drainage issues. After forms are set, we install reinforcement, pour and finish the concrete, and cut control joints at the right time for strength, appearance, and performance.
Curing, Cleanup, and Final Walkthrough
We protect the new concrete during the curing window, keep the site tidy, and monitor the finish so your driveway sets up properly and performs the way it should. Before we wrap up, we walk the project with you, review care tips and use timelines, and make sure you feel confident in the finished result.
Concrete Driveway FAQs
Common questions homeowners ask us about concrete driveway installation, replacement, cost, timing, and long-term performance.
- How long does a concrete driveway last?
A properly installed concrete driveway can last 25 to 30 years or more with the right base, good drainage, and routine care. We build every driveway to handle daily traffic, weather changes, and normal wear so you get strong long-term value from your investment.
- How long does it take to install a new concrete driveway?
Most concrete driveway projects take a few days from prep to pour, depending on size, layout, grading, demolition, and weather. After the pour, the concrete needs time to cure before regular vehicle use. We give you a clear timeline up front so there are no surprises.
- Will my concrete driveway crack?
Concrete can develop small cracks over time, but good site prep, proper thickness, control joints, and quality finishing help reduce that risk. We focus on the details that matter most. Our goal is a driveway that looks clean, performs well, and holds up for years.
- How much does a concrete driveway cost?
Concrete driveway cost depends on the size, shape, thickness, site access, grading needs, removal of old concrete, and finish options. We provide clear estimates so you know exactly what is included. With 616 Custom Construction, you get honest pricing and workmanship built to last.
- Can you replace my old or damaged driveway?
Yes. We can remove and replace old, cracked, sunken, or worn-out concrete driveways. We also address the base and drainage issues that often cause problems in the first place. Replacing the driveway the right way helps protect your property and improves curb appeal.

Why Homeowners Recommend 616 Custom Construction
See what matters most to customers quality work, clear communication, and lasting results.
We hired Cohen & his crew at 616 to repair some trim on the front of our house, take off our old deck, and install a new composite deck. We could not be happier with the finished work. Cohen was communicative and kind throughout the process. We ran into an issue with the permit initially that Cohen helped take care of - whatever control he had over the situation he made sure to execute and did everything he could to make the process smooth and right for us. We are excited for our new deck and would absolutely recommend the 616 crew to others.
Absolutely loved working with 616 Custom Construction! They are so easy to work with, straight forward and the work was better than I expected! All the guys working were incredibly respectful of myself and my family including minimal noise and proximity to our daily activities (i.e. leaving the house, parking) I'm looking forward to the next time I hire them to help me improve my home's features!
Had a deck installed recently, finished product was much more than we were expecting. Great quality work by great respectful people.
