This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this job. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
The crew clears and levels the spot, spreads and packs a gravel base, and builds forms around the edge. Steel or fiber goes in, the concrete is poured and leveled, and the surface is finished. Control joints are cut or tooled into the surface so that any cracking tends to follow a straight line instead of wandering.
A pad like this is not a house foundation. A foundation carries the walls of a building on footings and is usually designed with the building plans, while a shed pad or a garage floor is a simpler pour. A patio is a slab too, but it is finished for people to walk and sit on and is usually sloped away from the house.
What moves the price
- Pads for hot tubs
- A filled hot tub puts a lot of weight on a small area, and some tub makers list what the pad under it should be. Building to that guidance can cost more than a basic shed pad, so share it with the contractor before the quote.
- Thickened edges
- Some slabs are poured deeper around the edge, or where a wall or post will stand, to carry the weight there. That edge takes more digging and concrete than the middle.
- Vapor barrier underneath
- A plastic sheet laid under a slab that will be enclosed, such as a garage or shed floor, helps keep ground moisture from rising through it. It adds material and labor to the pour.
- Anchor bolts and sleeves
- Bolts set in the wet concrete to hold a shed or carport frame, or sleeves left for pipes, have to be placed before the pour and add labor.
- Smooth or broom finish
- A broom finish gives grip outdoors, and a smooth steel-trowel finish suits a workshop or garage floor. A smoother finish usually takes more time from the finisher, which can raise the price.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each concrete contractor before you compare prices:
- What thickness is this price for, and will it hold what I plan to put on it?
- Is the gravel base included, and how deep will it be?
- Will you use wire mesh, rebar or fiber, and why that one?
- Can you set anchor bolts or lay a vapor barrier, and what does each add?
- Is there a minimum charge for a small slab?
- How long should I wait before driving or building on it?
