If your driveway has seen better days, then you have an easy opportunity to increase your home’s value! A cracked, eroded, and oil-stained driveway takes a lot away from the appearance of your home. You may not realize it as you’ve gotten used to the damage slowly building up over time, but a beaten-up driveway will distract from a beautiful home. The professionals at Total Asphalt Paving want to freshen up your driveway so that it does justice to the rest of your property. There are plenty of benefits to a new driveway that you may not be aware of.

Safer for people and vehicles

Having large cracks or potholes in your driveway is a hazard that can come back to cost you if this damage isn’t fixed. Most importantly, it puts people at risk every time they walk over it. Especially if you have elderly guests or neighbors walking through your driveway, new paving will give you peace of mind.

A damaged driveway can also cause damage to your vehicles. If you have potholes or large cracks, driving over them every single day will have an effect on your vehicles over time. From wearing out the shocks to grinding down the tread on your tires, these issues can be avoided with a smooth driveway.

Increases value of your home

Take a moment to guess how much a brand-new driveway can increase your home’s value. Now, did you ever think that it could increase your home’s value by as much as $5,000 to $7,000? That’s no chump change. When you consider that the average newly paved driveway costs between $2-$15 per square foot, you could be getting some serious return on investment.

Improves your curb appeal

Not only does a new driveway increase the amount you can sell your home for, but it also improves how attractive your home is to potential buyers. If you’ve got a nice-looking lawn and a beautiful home, the only piece of the puzzle you’re missing is a smooth, even, and sharp-looking driveway. We recommend asphalt for your driveway, as it has a strong look and lasting durability.
