Stop shoveling, plowing and fighting ice every winter.
Stein Construction designs and installs heated driveways and snow-melt systems throughout Boston, Greater Boston, the South Shore and surrounding Massachusetts communities.
We combine professional excavation, drainage, base preparation, snow-melt technology and high-quality pavers or natural stone to create driveways designed specifically for harsh New England winters.
Whether you are replacing an existing driveway or planning a new high-end exterior renovation, a heated driveway can provide greater convenience, safety and year-round curb appeal.
Massachusetts winters bring snow, ice, freezing temperatures and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
A properly designed heated driveway helps prevent snow and ice from accumulating on the finished surface.
Snow-melt systems can be incorporated into:
The system is installed beneath the finished surface and designed to transfer heat upward, melting snow as it accumulates.
Premium Appearance With Snow-Melting Performance
Pavers are one of the most attractive options for a heated driveway.
Stein Construction can combine a professionally installed snow-melt system with premium concrete pavers to create a driveway that looks like part of the home’s architecture rather than simply a paved parking area.
Pavers are available in numerous styles, patterns, textures and colors and can be coordinated with:
The result can completely transform the appearance of the property.
A snow-melt system generates heat beneath the driveway surface.
As snow begins to fall, heat travels through the pavers or stone and helps melt snow before significant accumulation occurs.
Depending on the system design, controls can detect temperature and moisture conditions and activate the system automatically.
The finished driveway remains much easier to maintain during winter storms.
The finished pavers are only one component of the project.
A heated driveway must be constructed correctly from the ground up.
Our installation process can include:
Removal of existing pavement and unsuitable materials to establish the proper construction depth.
Installation and compaction of aggregate materials to create a strong and stable foundation.
A snow-melt system creates water. Proper grading and drainage are essential to move that water away from structures and prevent freezing in unwanted areas.
Heating components are installed according to the specific design requirements of the project.
The final surface is installed with careful attention to grades, transitions, edges and surrounding construction.
You do not have to heat the entire driveway.
Snow-melt systems can also be installed beneath high-traffic areas such as:
For many homeowners, combining a heated driveway with a heated front walkway creates a much more convenient winter entrance.
The best time to install a snow-melt system is when a driveway or walkway is already being reconstructed.
If you are considering replacing an existing asphalt driveway with pavers, redesigning your front entrance or building a new home, we can evaluate whether a heated system makes sense for the project.
