Planning & pricing

What decides the cost of a concrete job

There is no single price per square foot that fits every project. Three things move the number most.

Sidewalk replacement, before and after

The most common question we hear is "how much will it cost?" The honest answer is that it depends on the size of the job, the finish you choose and the conditions on site. Here is how each one affects the price.

Size

Larger pours need more material and more labour. A single step and a full driveway are very different jobs, even though both are "concrete work".

Finish

A broom finish is the simplest. Exposed aggregate and stamped concrete involve more steps, more materials and more skill, and the price reflects that. If budget is tight, a plain slab with a stamped or exposed border can give some of the look for less.

Site conditions

What has to happen before the concrete arrives matters as much as the pour itself: access for equipment, removing old or heaved concrete, grading, and making sure water drains away from the house.

How we quote

We quote each job after seeing it. Quotes are free, and the scope, finish, timeline and price are put in writing before we pour. Sending a few site photos by WhatsApp to 403-554-1400 is the quickest way to start.
