For a really professional job...it is pricey. We had our whole driveway and widened a few years back I was shocked at the price.
You can get Billy Bob and his cousin Jimmy out and you'll have cracks in a few years. And you'll have people here tell you how easy it is to do yourself....but....it's not. You've got have the right tools and the know-how. Or you can lay down some pretty serious coin and get a job that will last the life of your garage. You are looking at thousands of dollars. |

Quoted:
I want to get a garage this Spring which, according to Phil this morning, is right around the corner. I want to put it on a 6" 4000 psi concrete slab probably 24X28 give or take a few feet. I'm interested in cost for prep work (almost no excavation needed) pouring and finishing. Anyone have one done recently or in the business? Construction Project Manager here. Ballpark you are looking anywhere from $2000-$3000 depending on material costs and the quality of labor you hire. |

I'm thinking you're looking at about $4k. It all depends on the price of rebar, concrete, and labor in your area. Also, if you live where you will have to get a permit or inspection the price will go up.
Labor is cheep right now because everyone is trying to underbid everyone else. Still, prepare for $4k, give or take. |

I build pole barns in TN. The average price for a 4" thick pad with an 8" turndown around the outside is $3.50/sq ft plus gravel.

I put in a 15x21 8" pad this fall. wire re-enforced, tooled joints, stamped and dyed.
7yrds of concrete came to just under $600. labor was just under $1000 for prep, pour, finish and sealing. This was a "weekend job" for the 2 guys, not through a business (they work as concrete contractors during the week). So i got quite a deal on the labor. add to that $300 for the mini excavator and it came out to right around $2000. You have to figure in cost of gravel too. I got mine for free.      It turned out excellent. I've had several people ask me the how and where of the "slabs of granite." |
