Stretching a repair budget
If you've just bought a house and have a long list of jobs, the driveway may not need to come first. Seal the cracks, reroute the downspouts and replace only the worst panels. That can buy you several years for a few hundred dollars, and it protects what's there. See concrete driveway repair for prices.
If the driveway dumps water toward the foundation, though, move it up the list, because that's the one problem that makes other things worse.
Do any big foundation or sewer work first. A new sewer lateral often runs under the driveway, so it's a shame to pour a new slab and then cut it up. Plan the order of work with that in mind. In a borough, the permit goes through the local office, and we'll confirm what's required for work at the street or on the apron. Check any property line carefully before replacing a shared driveway, because old fences and old slabs don't always sit where the deed says they do.
