One in five Fayetteville homes predates 1940
Fayetteville village reports 2,092 housing units with a median year built of 1961. 20.7 percent were built in 1939 or earlier, 24.6 percent before 1950 and 77.2 percent before 1980, with 45.4 percent built between 1940 and 1969.

Fayetteville village carries 19.5 centerline miles of village street, 1.5 miles of county-owned highway and 2.6 miles of state-owned highway, for 23.5 miles in total. Almost 83 percent of the road mileage inside the village is the village's own.

Two kinds of Fayetteville lot, two kinds of job
Fayetteville reports a median build year of 1961 with 45.4 percent of its housing built between 1940 and 1969, but a fifth of the village, 20.7 percent, still stands from 1939 or earlier. Those older properties tend to come with public walk frontage and a narrow original drive that runs down the side of the house, while the mid-century lots across the street have wider frontages and later pours. Same village, same winter, two different scopes of work, and the difference shows up in access, in what the old slab is sitting on and in how much of the job sits near the curb.
What changes between an old and a newer Fayetteville lot
On a pre-war lot the questions are access, width and whether anything can get down the side of the house, and the work often ends within a few feet of a public walk. On a mid-century lot the questions are panel layout and what is under a slab poured in a hurry during a building boom. Say which of the two you have when you get in touch and the first answer you get back will be a great deal more useful.
A fifth of this village is genuinely pre-war
20.7 percent of Fayetteville housing was built in 1939 or earlier and 24.6 percent before 1950, inside a village that is otherwise mid-century at a 1961 median.
Narrow original drives limit the method
How the old slab comes out and how the new one is placed both change on a drive that runs down the side of a house. It is worth settling before a date goes in the diary.
Work near the curb has its own question
Almost 83 percent of the road mileage inside Fayetteville is the village's own, so most addresses deal with one office. The 4.1 miles that are not can be named rather than guessed at.
Older village lot, or the 1960s side of the street?
Give us the address and a sentence about the drive. That sets the scope before anyone comes out.

Village driveway questions we hear in Fayetteville
My Fayetteville drive is too narrow for a modern car. Can it be widened?
Usually yes on the property itself, and the constraint is normally the side of the house rather than the concrete. The part to check early is whether the widening reaches the road right of way, because that end of the job carries a permit question and the answer depends on whether you meet the village street or one of the 4.1 miles here that belong to the county or the state.
Does a 1930s Fayetteville drive have to come out completely?
Not as a rule. The village is mixed enough that we judge the slab rather than the era: a level slab with shallow surface loss can often be repaired, while one that has moved or is losing thickness across its area is a replacement. What is different on the older lots is access and width, and those change the method rather than the verdict.
