What’s different about Portland
Portland is Maine's largest market with the highest cost of living, where deep snow, ice dams, and coastal salt air drive durable exterior detailing.
- Air-entrained concrete and a thicker compacted base resist freeze-thaw cracking, adding cost.
- Salt air favors corrosion-resistant materials and fasteners.
How the cost is built
Concrete driveway cost depends on square footage, slab thickness, and finish — a plain broom finish is cheapest, while stamped or colored concrete costs more. Site prep, removal of an old slab, reinforcement, and thicker pours for heavy vehicles add to the total.
