Additional Cost Factors<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Your standard concrete pad is normally a minimum of 4 inches<\/strong> in thickness with a reinforced wire mesh or rebar. Which cost on average .30 \u2013 $.80<\/strong> per square for materials and installation depending on either choice.<\/li>\n
  2. Colored concrete<\/strong> will cost you an extra .75 \u2013 $1.25<\/strong> per square added to a basic concrete mix.<\/li>\n
  3. Sub-base preparation<\/strong> \u2013 this runs on average .60 \u2013 $1.25 per square foot<\/strong> and involves site-work prep: Grading, compacting the top-grade, 2\u00d74\u2019s, 2\u00d76\u2019s, 2\u00d78\u2019s, etc. with wood forms and installing wire-mesh.<\/li>\n
  4. Vapor Barrier under the slab<\/strong> \u2013 Add an additional $.60 Per square foot.<\/li>\n
  5. Concrete Mix<\/strong> \u2013 Concrete costs an average of $100 per cubic yard<\/strong> according to NRMCA<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    DIY Concrete Pad<\/h2>\n

    If this concrete pad isn\u2019t too big, then I would certainly just DIY this myself for anything less than 8\u2032 ft by 10\u2032<\/strong> pad.<\/p>\n

    Note:<\/strong> Before you do any digging, call \u201cdig safe\u201d by dialing 811 or visting call811.com and have your local utility company located and buried water, electrical, and gas lines.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Prep the area by removing any top-layer above the soil and add a layer of crushed stone.<\/li>\n
    2. Depending on your desired thickness, screw together square box with either 2\u2033x4\u2033s, 2\u2033x6\u2033s, or 2\u2033x8\u2033s.<\/li>\n
    3. Grab some stakes and hammer them in with a 18\u2033-24\u2033 spacing.<\/li>\n
    4. Use a straight-edge 2\u2033x4\u2033 or 2\u2033x6\u2033 and screed across the frame to help level the concrete.<\/li>\n
    5. Next, if you have a palm sander, use it along the pad-frame to help vibrate any air-pockets in the uncured concrete for a solid cure.<\/li>\n
    6. Use a broom to give it a rough finish.<\/li>\n
    7. For an added touch, use an edge-trowel to give it a clean edge all the way around.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Concrete Pads \u2013 Pricing and Installation Cost Checklist<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Expect the Concrete Pads prices to fluctuate between various companies \u2013 each and every company have different operation expenses and over-head.<\/li>\n
      • Try to get prices in late Fall, early winter \u2013 you should expect aggressive pricing discounts by waiting for a contractor\u2019s down season.<\/li>\n
      • Try to budget and additional 7-15% more on top of what our calculator gives out for Concrete Pads costs.<\/li>\n
      • Visit every supply house that sell your particular brand of Concrete Pads and try to negotiate a better price with each supplier \u2013 I save on average 20%.<\/li>\n
      • Installing Concrete Pads isn\u2019t an easy task to perform and can leave you with a sore back. You might find it more cost effective to hire a Concrete Contractor or, mason company to perform the work for you. Concrete Contractors or, Mason companies will most always get better prices on Concrete Pads \u2014 saving your back and additional costs of Concrete Pads materials, so shop around, ask your neighbors if they can recommend someone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
