re: How much to get a 20 x 10 concrete patio?

I had 18x12. Forming, materials, and labor cost me $900.

$5 sq ft would be a very safe estimate.

That's for a plain slab.

I agree but don't just tell the concrete plant guy who takes your order that you want "fiber mesh" in the mix. If you do, they will put in the cheaper 1/2" monofilament fibers. Those are practically worthless except in helping plastic shrinkage control while it sets, and even those benefits are minimal.

Tell him you want 1 1/2" fibrillated fiber mesh. Be specific. The extra inch and the multi strand twist is much better for short term and long term reinforcement. The dosage should be 1 1/2 lbs of fiber per yard. The ready mix companies cost to use fibrillated fibers vs mono is literally about .40 per pound but they will use the cheaper product unless specified otherwise. As a COD customer, your fiber should be around $6-10 per yard. Account customers pay around $5-6 a yard.

A price of $30 to reinforce vs buying, laying out, and insuring proper lifting of welded wire mesh during placement is a no brainier.

For the basic slab you are doing, anything over $850 is you getting gouged. That is assuming that the truck can sit beside the placement and discharge down the chute. If you have to rent a line pump you could be looking at an additional $500 because the pump companies usually charge a minimum fee. Usually 4 hours plus an hour travel fee regardless of whether you are 10 minutes away from their yard.

3 years I had a 20x10 space concreted for somewhere in the ballpark of $1500.

What is a reasonable amount one should expect to pay on 700 sq ft of concrete, framing, grading, stamped and colored?

And the 6k for stained is higher than giraffee pussy.

Well, if you don't mind recommend some companies then b/c I've been calling around for weeks.

I have a similar question. I have a 17x25 carport I want to close in. My plan is to stain/stamp over the existing concrete pad. Anyone know the cost range?

If it's an existing slab you can do a stamp overlay (thin layer of concrete on existing slab) Then go over with stamp roller, for around $4-6 sq ft.

$1200 would get that job done but you get the meth head employees, not the good ones who won't come rob you after.

Been a while since I messed with concrete but figure 2.5 yards at around $115 per yard.

If you are not doing any of it yourself you could probably get someone to form it up, pour, and finish it for $250.

So my guess based on 20 year old information is around $500
