Contractor Question: Back Patio
Posted on 2/11/17 at 10:27 pm

Looking to redo my back patio slab and all.... Looking at a 25Wx13L area... I've been quoted at 26k to redo the slab and then build up the back patio while raising the roof. Currently it sits at 6ft and I want it at 9ft so coming off the roof of my house.
Does this seem accurate?
I've had two appraisals so far one at 28k and the other at 24k.

Must be if both those appraisals are close. The labor is what kills you.

So... doing a stamped patio with a concrete fire pit on one end
27Wx12L
Estimate was 3200.
My plan sounds better...

$26k is ludicrous but it is a fact that contractors are slammed with work right now and are just bidding what ever the hell they think they might be able to charge. As one told me straight to my face after I pointed out how absurd his bid was - "I know it's a ridiculous price but I am super busy and if you want to pay that crazy price then I will be willing to drop everything and do the job."

Seems to be. Using a boom will cost alot more but not 3k, should be half that at most. The raising on the roof could potentially be where you are getting into intense labor costs. I'd have to see scope of project to be more accurate bit if 2 contractors are within that margin, its very likely this is what project will end up costing.
