How to pour a large concrete slab for a garage 60' x 36'.
What I charge to install concrete slabs.
How much does it cost to pour and finish a concrete slab.
In this video I'll be answering the questions above and showing you how we install a lot of our garage slabs.
I'll cover the forming, rebar mat, and pouring the concrete.
We install dozens of concrete slabs this same way and I've made a course to teach you, step by step, how to do it yourself in my concrete slab course below!
Most the concrete slabs we install are 6 inches thick with the edges 12 inches thick.
We use 2x12's for forms.
I don't do the gravel sub grade work, that is subbed out to an excavation contractor and usually the owner takes care of hiring that person.

I was born in 1961 and my dad was a do it yourselfer I remember getting deliveries of sand and gravel then shoveling it into the cement mixer ,dump and repeat. That concrete is still good today 45 years later
I appreciate you sharing the price as well. I just did a 20 x 24 pad by myself and with 2 buddies helping on pour day. The guys were there 4 hours and I gave them 150$ each or just under 40$ an hour. The 7.5 yards of concrete was 1200$, 4000lb mix with fiber, I had the steel mesh and had the wood to frame it. Had to buy some screws and other small items, total cost for 24x20x5" thick pad was about 1600$.
I should have mentioned that I cleared the land myself, used my backhoe to pull the stumps as well and drop a few yards of reprocessed concrete for a solid base. The reprocess is only 20$ a yard if you go pick it up and I borrowed a buddies dump truck. I've learned how to do everything myself and inexpensively...
Only carpenters use screws on concrete forms concrete men form setting use duplex not screws you crack me up
@@victorcano8272 you're so cool
@Victor Cano Jesus was a carpenter, my friend.
@@victorcano8272 you probably make like 16 a hour on some scab crew lol
Thanks for the price breakdown Mike! So many people don't want to talk about prices, but I sure appreciate it when guys do! It's super helpful for getting a rough idea. Keep up the good work!
Can you build house on something like this
@@nedoscarsandfishingvideos5500 gotta have the plumber set out your disposal lines first
Great job as usual men, the basic break down of price was greatly appreciated and helpful to lots of people like me.
I love that you shoot in pads and wet screed! Everyone in my area has switched to roller screeds on pipes. And like you, I prefer being first on the board for trucks for the same reasons. Sounds like we were both taught the same ways, great job👍
Great video! Seeing this as a Canadian all I can think of what a great ice rink this would be :) Great work
Love your vids bro, as a flatwork contractor in the western New York area our conditions are similar, your numbers are bang on in my opinion, we are actually an excavation contractor as well so we do all our own grading, I’ll definitely take another couple bucks a square to know for sure my grade is gonna be tight, definitely gonna check that link for the battery powered power screed, we can always use a new toy, our power screeds are the greatest back saver ever! Great call on the plasticizer As well, another game changer!!
Well done as always man👍🏻
It nice to have your family 👪😊 involved 👍 in your projects 👍😀all the best
I just worked it out to what I would charge in Australia (after converting to metric, of course) and very similar pricing, although our method of formwork and pouring is pretty different. Great video.
So I recently poured a slab for a metal building. Specs were: 12x24 perimeter and a criss crossed beam through the middle on a 30x40 with four #5s in the beams and #3s on top 18" on center. 4000 psi 4" slab. It was $11,000 and that included dirt work and 80 yards of select fill to get it level. So $9.16 per SQ ft about an hour east of Dallas.
Great deal!
Easy for you, hard work for us amateurs. Much respect for you.
Nice video! New sub for sure. Really satisfying to watch concrete pours, especially the power screeding.
THIS IS THE GREATEST THING TO DO FOR THE FAMILY. JOIN THE BUSINESS!!!!! love it bro keep it up
I really do like your videos Mike. I have a plan in the back of my mind to build a new barn, but I'd have to commit to doing most of the work myself to afford it. I've only ever formed and poured my new countertops so a 40x60+ slab is a little more daunting. Seems like with a couple friends and some info from these videos, it's much more doable. The countertops turned out nearly perfect so I don't want to ruin my win streak :)
Mike your channel is awesome .I really appreciate learning from you experience and knowledge 👌 keep up the good work
I worked with the Seabees one summer while TAD and we built a park/picnic area. I did grunt work, so I was on what they called the rabbit. We built several barbeque pits which were basically a 5 foot square slab. There were three of those. Then we built a basketball court and it was very similar to the garage here. We used a gas powered screed. I helped with pulling the screed. I remember when we were done the sense of pride I felt for building something with my hands.
What a performance, and your children playing a part at a weekend with Dad. In the UK it's difficult to find guys who have any interest or enthusiasm in their work let alone to on the tools at 6.30 am ! I am older than you Mike and love every day.
Well done. Like your channel.
Hi Sam and I appreciate your comments!
That depends Sam, I get up at 2am in the UK when most are going to bed. I do agree that it's really cool to see this dudes kids not only getting involved....but really know what they are doing.
It's clear to me that your children are instilled with a great work ethic. I watch this video , and I see a good and decent man , who is second to none. The concrete insight you share from your experience will go a long way in my own limited concrete experience. Because of you , it is made clear to me once again; that it is the ACTUAL WORK that teaches me how to do it. To know something and not do it ; is to NOT KNOW it. Thank you Mike !
Awesome video, thanks for making these. Keep it up!
Lot of respect to your kids man especially your daughter for bull floating the concrete and helping you sir you had a good kids and wish my cousins i work with seeing this and learn from her
Great video! Pricing seems on par with Southeastern PA. I just had a pad poured for my garage, plus a driveway extension almost the same size of the garage, and a sidewalk. 5" thick, with 12" thick edges, 5500 psi with fibermesh. I paid $13 per sqft, but that included all the excavation which extended an additional 4' beyond the slab in all directions to lay down foamboard for frost protection and the labor to lay it down (I paid for foamboard myself).
Great videos, Mike!
Love that you take your kids to work with you. Kids now a days need that type of work instead of tik tok!
You have a bad ass crew, you guys are all in sync, its fun watching you guys work!
I think your about right on price. I just worked it out and we would charge around £11/12k. Great work as always.
Having poured seawalls for years in South Floriduh, I was always thankful the guy I worked for had great relationships with the concrete companies in the area. Never had to wait very long and they were always on time. Great video, thanks for sharing. I know when I build a garage this size, 18k will be money well spent. Could this be a geothermally heated pad if pex was ran before pouring?
Good to hear some numbers on this kind of work, and your daughter's a warrior 💪
Yes she is. thanks
Great workmanship, Awesome job 👏
Nice. I did a 26 yard garage slab in 2001 which was fun. Did not do any control cuts / joints, and that slab still has no cracks 21 years later.
Do you guys ever use any Day1 finishing Aid. Really helps make the finishing easier and it strengthens the concrete because it has pozzolan in it. You guys are awesome!
I pour concrete for a living I absolutely love every damn day I'm concreting it I'm pouring 9 yard driveway tommorow here in Hoyt Kansas keep the videos coming good job
Very fair pricing! Ty for sharing your costs and breakdown much appreciated and great work!
Thanks for the videos mike. i run a curb machine and pour concrete all the time ive learned a lot from your videos. Keep them coming
My first job in concrete was curbs. I had to get under the machine and feed rebar in. Hot and dusty, not much fun.
Absolutely crazy how much concrete has gone up over the years, I had my house built in 2005.....full basement 26'x67' with 9' walls 10''s thick, and 4 pads 3x3 cost me $10,500. The floor 6''s thick cost me 6,500 that included all material and labor for plumbing for the drain tile and crock. Not to mention the tar spray for the outside water proofing. My garage floor was a standard 24x24 and that was 3,400 and included all materials and labor. And by a different company. I live in Michigan
That’s an insanely good price compared to Seattle Washington nowadays
Prices do vary by state but yeah everything has skyrocketed in price these last 10 years, these last 2 specially. I've given up on buying a house and currently looking to see what type of things I would be able to do myself.
Who did your concrete? What part of Michigan?
What skyrocketed was the prices charged by companies during Covid because people continue to pay it. The price of the actual concrete has not gone up nearly as much as they increased the charges. Every business saw others increase price so they did too. People paid it so the prices aren’t coming down until people stop paying it. The same goes for many industries. Concrete, AC, contracting additions construction, landscape etc.
I'm so glad you shared how much yards you calculated. I created a concrete calculator on excel where I put the dimensions of the slab and how thick (including the haunch size) and my calculator put it at 43.5 CY. Exciting to see it calculating correctly!
Wow that’s impressive man! Very smart
Very nice guys! Love watching this channel as much as possible. Out here in Hawaii things are even more so expensive.. we are closer to 15- 18 dollars a square
You guys make it look so easy, nice job with the video, very informative, thank you......
Gotta love that plasticizer. (high range water reducer) That's gotta be at least an 8 or 9 inch slump.
Mad respect to you for having your kids out there learning what hard work is and how it pays to work hard , and mad respect to your son and daughter for being out there working hard with pops I think that's awesome it reminds me of myself and my father who hung steel and he has me out there helping him when I was young and my stepdad who was a carpenter electrician and plumber who taught me everything I need to know as a young man
I got a guy that does my concrete and he does a very awesome job all the time. He also does stamped concrete and it comes out the same way. I never have a problem with him and he is very fair with prices. But when u give some one a lot of work they take care of you in pricing. Your work is very outstanding and good. Keep up the good work u do.
We price forming by face foot, concrete by the meter (Canada), and mixes can range from $120/m to $260/m depending on the mix, fiber etc. We price the labour separate. Price per sq.ft usually comes out very close when all said and done. We do our excavating and stone in house though.
Great video as always Mike! We are almost the exact same sf price here in Washington DC. We are getting $7.50 - $9.25 /sf for slabs just like that.
How many slabs like this do you do Frank? Are you in the city or more rural.
Does this price cover the gravel work as well ? I am currently charging $10/sf to dig dirt as needed to spread 4” gravel, tamp it, then pour 4” slab. I’m in western New York. 10/sf covers everything start to finish ! Let me know your thoughts.
I Mass I think code requires 4 foot wall due to sq ft.
I wish I could just poor a slab. Nice job.
The best concrete UA-cam videos in the business
I love you got the family involved!
Beautiful!!!! Nothing better than a good pour, concrete and whisky. WOW.
My fond memory of my dad was either building or fixing stuff with him, I'm sure your kids are going to do the same. I learned a lot of life skills just being around him, including complaining. I think the complaining gene may have been in our family for generations. Great content.
Much better life when you find something to be thankful for.
you learned the best!
Might hate it when your a kid.. But when you get older you appreciate it. I am who i am because of hanging around my dad doing projects.
Same … I remember being so annoyed as a 7th/8th grader at my dad rousting me out of bed on Saturday mornings to help with building his barn and fences and whatever else was going on. Now it’s one of the things I’m most grateful for! Besides the memory of time with him, and being able to drive on the property, and back up trailers and operate the tractor in the alfalfa fields, I wouldn’t hesitate to say that I’ve saved well over $100k because I’ve been able to tackle almost any job that comes up, from home remodeling to car maintenance and repair. He was a “great man”, who left us too early at 54 y/o, when I was 20. I thank God I had him for 20 years.
Excelente trabajo y muy buen equipo de profesionales 👌👌👌 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Y la hija está bien buena no?
Thanks for talking about pricing I'm going to have some concrete work for a garage and this helps me on my budgeting
Thank you again
Time factor is the real key...
Excellent job...looks pretty clean..
l am so used to mess by contractors left around..but in this case clean...limpio
😎😎👍👍👍
You also had no tube..pipes to put in..correct
Very similar pricing for slab in NE Oregon but we are required to always have a stem wall and footing unless it is a pole type structure. Nice work as always.
Cheers
We do stem walls on some but very few here.
Hello 76 moxie I’m in prineville looking to get a monolithic slab done for my house. Is that something your interested in?
Our 40x40 guest house slab came in at just over $10 sq/ft, but that included them handling everything. That is, that included doing all site prep and grading; all footings (needed to be inspected separately); the slab poor; and then grading for the gravel driveway next to it. That wasn't the cheapest price we were quoted, but they were very highly recommended and we were thrilled with the result!
Getting great work done and being happy after all work is done is priceless. What is that worth really.
Haha. Definitely agree with quality work. I couldn't imagine being unhappy with the work for the rest of my time living with low quality results. 😬 Haha
Never go with the cheapest bid. 👍
@@rxonmymind8362 i went for the cheapest bid and it turned out amazing... Every company has their own pricing and i choose the cheapest bid not for the money but they did 6 of my other properties as well
@@MikeDayConcrete
To them it was worth $10.00 per square foot
😁
Thank you for the video. Educational and informative 👌
Great Job. And Thank-You for giving us a cost break down.
Would like to see more specific uploads of how estimates are done, costs, flow, pricing calculations
He gave the price for all the materials, and what he charged.. you see how big of a crew he had to pay, and for how many days.. you can't do some simple math? You can't calculate a volume of concrete and lineal feet of rebar?
I had a nearly identical slab poured down here in the southern tip of the state (the Berwicks) late last year. 30x50 6" floor, 12x18 edges, and it was $11,500. If I use your per sq-ft cost, I think we were right in line with your pricing. Nice work!
Nice to see your kids helping out during the summer
Thank you for your video, it is very hard to learn about prices and what's involved from other people, this gives a homeowner an honest idea of what he is against, moneywise without having to have 10 different people betting on the job, most of the time we need to know so we can prepare and not be surprised with prices. Keep up the good work and many thanks.
just started watching your channel I really love the explanation you give the why's and how's and seeing your kids working with day thats just awesome. Having a great crew is what its all about
Great video! I have poured about 114 yards of concrete for my shop and house extension addition and from what I was charged here in southern Louisiana I would say your price is better than 'fair'. Now my construction consists of 2x2 ft footings, a sloping driveway with a slightly less than 1:12 pitch that is very wide, etc. I agree that early morning pours are the best but this far south EVERYONE wants an early pour. It is so humid and hot by 2pm that you rarely see concrete trucks on the road unless the crews were rained out earlier that day or the days before. Keep up your wonderful, informative videos!
Bout being in the south and fighting to get mud first thing is a normal in Tennessee
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing the price. I need to redo my driveway which is steep and will need a pump. I haven’t gotten any quotes yet but I’m guessing roughly $10/sq ft but maybe more because of terrain. I’m too old now to start but I’ve always found concrete work interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Great video - summed it up good. Look forward to seeing your house slab videos.
Mike, thank you for this video. I will be watching the comments as we go. I am asked to do a patio slab for a customer, and wasn't sure how to estimate the cost. Very helpful indeed.
Maybe you shouldn't be doing this kind of work if you don't know how to estimate a job
If you need help estimating let me know.
@@serahandy8916 Best way to learn is by doing.
Kansas City..We get $14 with rock and grading..$10 for form, rebar, concrete, finish.
BTW great videos and information.
Thanks Steve, great feedback.
Great job ! Love your video’s and all the info you share 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Great job and great video!! Congratulations 👍🏽 thanks
$10-12 sq ft @ 6" thick & footing in Chicago. We normally charge 2x rebar costs (rounded up to nearest ton) for material/ placement.
That's ridiculous
@@austin3626 Everything in Chicago is ridiculously priced...I've always hated having to go there.
14sq with excavation and 10 just form and finish Concrete 🤙 good job Mike
Hi Mike, thanks for sharing those numbers with everyone.
@@MikeDayConcrete thank you I'm on my way to a place called form an build,,color hardner ,,varhada today ,, good morning brother 🎇
Very interesting, informative, and professional
About 15 - 17 years ago, in TN, just before the concrete darn near doubled in price per yard, I poured my shop floor. It was an old church softball field and when I lasered it, it was dead nuts - within 1/4 inch. I formed it, gravelly, did my own rod and set it at 6" iirc with 8 around edge with double rear around edge at 6". 100 yards, 50x100. A team came in, supplied concrete, poured n finished and sawed it. 10k plus 400 cash for a pump truck passing by in-between big jobs. Didn't have to clean it it was so close. I thought 10k was a pretty good deal and I thought it was even better when I used the forms as the bottom boards for my building. I put about 5-600 stainless screws in the inside and left em sticking out about 1 1/2" or so so that's what held the 4.0 CCA treated boards in place ...still. God was with me on materials too. Did 16' walls with 6x6s on 8 foot centers, tied with 2x6s with a hog trough on top, 10ga metal trusses built on a jig we made in the middle of the floor. Ordered z perlins. Set up two trusses on 8 ft and added the Zs. Set em two at a time with a 60 ton crane, then filled in between with more Zs. and a big metal contractor had an 18k Sq foot load of super high quality standing seam roofing that was accidentally cut a foot too short on an elementary school ...laying in his yard. 5500 delivered! My buddy built trusses and put on standing seam on those schools for this contractor ! In-between jobs ...5k to build the trusses AND install the roofing ...WITH vinylback insulation I had delivered. He supplied the big scissor lift outside. I rented one for inside. THEN an old man ordered 18 R panels, same color from Lowes. 15' 6 1/2" long. The factory sent them 180 ! 🤣 He took his 18 and left. Ended up giving a grand after they sat there a year. Wallah! 5k to a small crew to put on the wall metal. I did the metal security doors and two big rollups. I couldn't have afforded to do it without those breaks.
I charge by the square foot in Chicago. I'm in the city so I also charge according to distance from my yard and accessibility at the job. I do a lot of patios in backyards where everything has to be wheelbarrow in and out including dirt grass gravel concrete
Mini skid steers cost 260 a day for a rental, why kill you and your workers back over pennies at the end of the day. They fit through most gates as well. I worked for a guy who only used wheelbarrows and I wouldn’t work for that guy ever again after worker for real company’s.
Thanks JDM.
Jake, I agree, and that's what I do. But at the end of the day it's his choice how to run his business.
Scab
Proud to see your kids working with you. Best father ever!
Thanks Andre!
@@MikeDayConcrete my pleasure brother!
Especially your 10 year old,my boy wouldn't leave his Ps4 to help his Dad.
I'm from NH, and this is my 3rd year in the concrete trade. I do residential and commercial foundations, and finished floors. I can already finish floors myself. It's so true that concrete isn't for everybody.
Here in South East Georgia I charge $8.75 a sg ft for new slabs and $12.50 if it’s a driveway or side walk tear out and replace. Keep the content coming Mike your doing awesome
Up here in Washington state in the northwest I would charge about $6-$7 a sq ft. That would include the rebar, form setting, concrete and finishing. 90% of the time it’s just and my brother pouring everything, but for something this size I would pull in another guy. I would also get boom pump(just to make it easy for lay down for our small crew.) it’s always nice to hear what other guys charge just out of curiosity. Love your work mike!
Thanks Isaac, sharing is caring haha.
How much should I charge for a 20 x 20 turndown thanks Mike
I’m in Washington also and charge 5 a square foot just to finish, then charge by the linear edge and joints to be finished ( if any)
What are you guys paid per hour as employees?
@@guitarnorm888 minimum wage in Washington state is 13.50…but even McDonald’s starts you out at 15$ an hour….I’ve stopped driving truck because the wage gap has fallen off so much I can work in a warehouse and get paid maybe a dollar less and hour…but have zero liability….socialism is destroying this state…I’ll go back to driving truck when the wages catch up..all these puck ass liberals are for 15$ an hour minimum wage jobs but they aren’t going to be happy when they realize everyone makes the same shifty wage and the cost of living doubles..they cry about needing living wages but then make it so theirs no incentives to better yourself..work harder or get an education….I’d like to start a business some day but
Man where do you even begin..
As a former concrete guy, I think that your crew does excellent work. As a contractor who also builds homes for my personal portfolio, I think that your price is about dead on. Not too cheap where you're wondering if the contractor is cutting corners and certainly not excessive. You can tell that this isn't your crews 1st rodeo - great work!
Where are you located?
$8 a square foot is excessive. It’s TWICE what it cost less than 4 years ago and the price of concrete has not doubled.
@@bnellynel I haul out of quarry for the last 40 years, 4 years ago concrete rock 3/4 clean @ $12 a ton or 1" clean @$ 11 a ton, now today 3/4 clean @$21 a ton and 1" clean is $19.50 a ton.
Sand prices have gone crazy, actually cost more than the rock these days around 22-23 a ton , add on top of that delivery to concrete plant has gone up yearly .Fuel surcharges kick in at $3.20 so add another $1 per ton for delivery. If their cost "concrete plant" has doubled that will get passed on...
Really good to see you doing rebar and dobes in this slab. Only way to pour a good slab residential or commercial.
Ay no matter what your kids end up doing, they'll be alright. Out there working hard learning how to do stuff! Love to see it
Wow, glad i did my barn in 2011 north central ohio. Got 60 yards inside pole barn & outside pad, Amish labor for $7400, 5000psi mix with fiber. I did forms where needed 6" w mesh and my own radiant system.
Amish not much cheaper anymore. :/ $18+k?! 😭
How do I contact Amish people?
I plan to do my drive way (very long one). The asphalt people quoted at 35000$
I just waiting to have a concrete quote to see which one is cheaper
Cheap in the sense that the asphalt will cost me 35000$ whereas the concrete will be in the 50-60k
It would make more sense for me to go concrete
If I could find My Amish Friend to do it for cheaper, Hehehehe why not
@@lykaojalao2733 most have phones now & how I got him.
60 yards of 5,000psi is around $10k just for the concrete...
Yup, that hardly covers the price of mud delivered in northeast Ohio today. Not including fiber and mesh.
Hey mike I just figured that slab the way I normally price my flat work and came up with just about 20,000
Thanks for giving pricing information. Im getting things in order to put up my own shop building and this information is very helpful.
Great job guys! I wish you were closer to me in MA. I have 2 slabs to be poured next year.
Just had a 4" 46x28 garage floor. 4" 12x28 patio behind it, a 4" 5x28 curb in front and a 4" 3x46 sidewalk down the side of garage all for about $10,000. Rebar and cut and sealed included. I don't do concrete (leave it for the pros)just like watching it being done.
What state are you in?
Ya where at? $5 a sq ft is pretty cheap!
Wow. That’s dirt cheap. I’m also curious where are you located ?
Awesome. Thanks for letting us know the price
You bet!
I always charge by square foot I'm from Toledo ohio I always watch ur videos u guys do great work we've been in business since 1989
OH MY GOSH!!! I JUST STARTED MY TINY HOME JOURNEY AND NO ONE WANTED TO GIVE A BALL PARK NUMBER. THANK YOU!!
I pay my concrete guys anywhere from $300-$400 a yard. So you're definitely premium. This slab we did something similar, my cost was $14,200. So you've definitely got a nice $4000 profit buffer in there.
I’m at $500 a yard if I prep everything, setup and pour for residential. If I setup and pour it’s between $6-$10 a sq ft depending on what admixtures I use. If I just place and finish I’m at $1.50 a square foot.
For the place and finish, what type of finish do you take it to for $1.50?
Here in Arizona I charge around $7/SF for 4" 3000PSI concrete.
My cost, Installed, is around $200-250/YD, depending on the prep work and reinforcement.
Great video! Loved it.
Keep in mind that there are states where outdoor work is severely curtailed during winter (concrete, roofing, excavation,etc). On-season income needs to float these guys through 4 months of thin gravy.
Yes, we do 12 months of work in about 8.5 months. Most don't really understand that.
@@MikeDayConcrete Not gonna lie, I about crapped a brick when you said that price. I’m a concrete contractor in Oklahoma and I couldn’t get anywhere near that much. Hadn’t considered the seasonal aspect of it. I am going to check out that battery screed though. I’ve been wanting to get one.
@@colberjs Hey bud, what's the average cost per sq ft for non-structural pour (like walk pathways) in OKC?
@@colberjs I’m also from Oklahoma and about had a cow when I heard that price but I can see why they charge more because of the extreme cold they get up north.
@@MikeDayConcrete so what do you do in the winter time?
Hey Mike, happy you have kids that want to help you. 2 questions, is it better to put the form stake in at an angle for more surface area against the 2x12's and why did you start in the center of the building for the pour instead of the edge.
Angle or no angle, not much difference, whichever way it goes in solid. Usually there's some rocks to deal with. The pour, we just started where the chute reached then worked to that edge. Mostly about access and where the chute reaches for less pulling.
@@MikeDayConcrete Thanls for taking the time Mr Mike. Enjoy your videos, especially these few with pricing details.
I thought it was a little wet glad you use high range water reducer. Sign of a good finisher
That's super cool see you working with your kids....
Honestly after I see how your company operates being family-run... I would say never underestimate your value. I want to check out pricing here in Jersey but I wouldn't be surprised it was double that $8 a square
Road are like 5-7x the average rate. I wouldn't be surprised either.
I quoted $17 per square foot and got the job today. But the pad is small 20x12.
@@WoahSup2 you are located in New Jersey?
Always fun watching professionals make something complicated look easy. I don't work in construction, but $8.50 a square foot seems pretty good value to me. Vinyl flooring (even converting ft to meters) or floor tile can cost more than that!
In Houston, $3.50-$4.00 a square foot for tile work
@@HardHeadMilitary plus the tile. Right ?
@@LemonySnicket-EUC that price is labor… but includes thinset and grout
So yes, plus the tile
Love your videos
I hope hope you are successful and happy
Great videos. Originally a Wisconsin concreter now on my own In Montana
What kinds of projects do you normally do?
In California (bay area) average price is between $10-12 sf. Including grading.
That's not bad.
Thanks for the video Mike.
1. The wood - is it treated, and do you oil it to prevent the concrete from sticking to it ?
2. When do you do the concrete joists, how deep do they need to be if at all ?
3. Do you use some sealer once cured on top or sides ?
4. While pouring, the metal bars are being stepped on, yet they do not move from the brick pieces - is it because of the overall weight or do you connect the bars to the bricks somehow.
5. The Topcon laser is cool, need to have one :)
Thanks a lot.
You don’t need treated wood it’s not staying, and it won’t stick to the concrete, and not you don’t attach the rebar to bricks they just sit on it once it’s all attached it doesn’t move around
@@ryanb6658 Thanks a lot.
