Reasonable cost to get a small slab done?

same...probably do that with a couple of sacks that you could mix in a 5-gallon bucket.

I could, but let's be honest, I just don't want to and I can afford to pay someone else.

In my experience most concrete guys would charge you double for a job like that just because it isn't worth their trouble. You might be able to find a local handyman to do it for you.

I just poured a medium sized patio.

16' x 24'came out to around $2k. That was with removal of old patio concrete, too.

Just steal a couple of tombstones.

At least buy the material yourself or you’re going to be had. That’s too small a job for a legit contractor to bother with. I agree with the poster that recommended getting the generator guy to do this for you.

Pour it yourself you lazy frick. Job couldn’t be easier.

For that size that’s less than a half a yard of concrete. Buy sacks and do it yourself.

Any new houses going up in your subdivision? Go talk to the Forman and see if they’ll cut you a deal for a couple hundred bucks.

About to get quotes for a slab for a home generator.

Size is roughly 4.5-5ft x 2.5-3ft x 4-6 inches thick.

TIA

at the biggest dimensions, 5 by 3 by 6", you are barely over 1/4 of a yard of concrete. It will cost you probably 3 to 400 to get a truck to your house with concrete in it so bagcrete is the way to go here. Whether you hire someone to come in and do it is up to you. I would think you will need to find some day labor to come over, any company will charge you a mobilization type costs that will cost more than the slab itself unless you have some other work to do while doing it.
