A Guide To How Much A Concrete Project Costs

Although describing the costs associated with doing a concrete project can be complicated, we will do our best to outline the process as detailed as possible to help you in your research for doing a concrete project. 

The purchase of either getting new concrete, or replacing old/ damaged concrete is much like purchasing a new vehicle. With so many options available, pricing can vary tremendously. 

​

Just as a basic Honda can cost as low as $18,000, it can quickly go to $25,000 or even $30,000+ depending on what features you would like with the car. So if the average American only keeps a car for on average of 3 years, then why do people pay such different amounts for a vehicle that essentially does the same thing? The answer is most people understand the importance of getting what the want the FIRST time so that way they can avoid any big regrets down the road.

​

The same principles apply to most homeowners who are shopping for a new concrete driveway or patio.

Just like other shoppers you will want to consider how you want your concrete to look, how strong it is, and look at it to ensure maximum enjoyment with minimum maintenance or repairs down the line. Because of this, most homeowners decide to go with a concrete contractor and project that will give them maximum enjoyment in the long-run.

 

Regrettably, some homeowners decide to go with the cheapest initial cost for any given concrete project, therefore sacrificing things like quality workmanship, buying experience, warranty, and how long their project will last. This always ultimately ends up with many homeowners regretting the decision they made initially. Especially considering your concrete can’t be turned in or traded like purchasing a car or some other household item. Once concrete work has been done it will be much harder (and more expensive) to tear everything up and re-do it down the line.

 

Some of the common items that can affect concrete project pricing are:

•  Project Size

• Access to the project site

• Strength of concrete

• Prep work needed

• Concrete Reinforcement

• Warranty of contractor

• Customer service of installing contractor

• Design of concrete

• Time of year
