re: What is the going rate for a concrete patio?

High dollar paver installations are done over a concrete base with a sand bed between the concrete and the pavers.

No they're not. They are laid in mortar directly on the slab. Why spend the money to pour a slab for pavers only to put sand between them and the slab?

I will admit Raymond was the same guy who did the work for me as well. He did lack in the communication department a little bit. However, he never dodged any of my calls.

When I had my driveway and patio poured in my house my contractor (also a friend) said his concrete guy charges him $1.50 a square foot and he charges $3.00 /foot to his customers. This was in BTR 5 years ago.

Of course a larger job like a driveway will cost less per square foot than a small job.

Get over yourself.

Either a 15x20 or a 20x20. Still trying to figure out how big we wanna go.

You'll never wish it was smaller. Not once have I looked at my patio and said "man, I wish I had some grass right there to walk on"

Your right.I will keep that in mind.

Similar situation here. I guess we will see what my estimate looks like tonight.

I got a quote from them a few weeks ago.

I'll be doing the same. I've heard good things about their work though. And its somewhat appealing because they can do everything unlike some that just do a patio cover. I believe they'll do the concrete work and gutters and the whole 9.

This is still an option for me. You doing an insulated patio cover over the entire area?

perfect timing for this thread. i need a 10x10 slab poured for a shed.
