#EverythingAboutConcrete #MikeDayConcrete #estimating
We're pouring and finishing a garage concrete floor in this video. I'm showing you how I price or give estimates for a floor this size.
I'll include the cost of labor and profit, plus all the other materials we use to finish this concrete floor.
Not included in the price is under floor sub-grade prep. I don't do gravel work, the GC subs that out to an excavation contractor.
In the video I break down the costs for you so you can see what's involved in giving someone an estimate.

Jezze Mike! I really appreciate your honesty and openness about cost and pricing. I do the same thing for my business of Home Inspections. I have a flat price for a house. No hidden costs. I've find it very liberating. Thank you.

@danielhenry52 7 месяцев назад

Up here in RI- just had floor poured in my garage three weeks ago. 26’w x 28’d garage, was $3,800 total. 5” thick, Has rebar in door openings, wire, and they did the foam around the edge. No insulation under it, just the plastic vapor barrier. Did wind lip at garage doors, and they saw cut it the next day.

@sking3646 Год назад

Thanks for the transparency, appreciate the cost breakdown. Wish you the best for all future projects. BTW for the people who are saying it's expensive they don't understand how to run a business & the expenses associated with running a business with multiple people ont he payroll.

@trentmeidinger6160 Год назад

Great video!. I’m having a 24x24 garage built in the spring up here in Minnesota. Who knows what pricing will be for the concrete at that time, but I anticipate it will be higher than fall 2022 prices. (It got too cold to pour in November.) Regardless, it is helpful to learn about the economics of the business. Lots of respect for you and all the guys who have made this your profession. Thank you for the insights.

@inkdup701 Год назад

@Thomas_Malone Год назад

That pricing is phenomenal. Thank you for your transparency. I've been quoted 900/yard for just pour/ finish work, which would have been around $5500 for this job. That does not include the prep, or other materials like foam/rebar. I'm in Maryland.

I had a floor poured last year (by another youtube concrete channel) that had a particular section that was 6" thick vs 4". Price was all quoted by the square foot with 2 extra yards listed as line item charge for the thickened area. The end number worked out very similar to your total once I subtract $2 / ft2 for no foam under my slab. Thanks for the info, very insightful for not only concrete tradesmen but also people saving for shop builds

@GRUBB-MUDD Год назад

dang he got me, jk I don't use foam. I was kidding. I was curious what your concrete price is up there I watch the 1 u did at your desk but concrete labor and mudd is high in Indiana. we charge alot. but I'm one of the cheapest in my area. but u work for builders which I solid work but I don't bid by Sq foot I bid by days and cross reference w Sq feet. we r up around 13 a Sq foot around indy for driveways or better. I charged 20k for a 26 yard driveway but we had to tear it out too. I was at 22 but I wanted to make sure to land it. u charged 7 grand for this even though there is alot of material u did pretty good. I would do that garrage w no foam no prep about 3500 to just pour it. no prep.

@ep9360 Год назад

Reasonable pricing. So many people don't consider what professionalism is worth.

@Edmond1821 Год назад

Thanks for the breakdown, your cost is reasonable. People play dumb when it comes to you pouring a 24' x 24' four inch thick mix, doing back breaking work and they complain about a $3k profit on the job, meanwhile big pharma, big tech and military industrial complex make billions and trillions on assembly line or virtual products and no one questions them.

@PKJae Год назад

Looks like things are more expensive in the Pacific Northwest, although this is for a slightly different more complex pour: This is for a 42x40 shop floor on which a metal barn will be built: excavate top layer and move soil onsite place and compact 120 ton of 3” minus base rock and top with ¾” minus grade rock compacted vapor barrier make forms with a deeper edge on perimeter for drop down footing place #3 rebar 24” on center cross-direction place 2-#4 rebar continuous in perimeter footing pour and smooth finish concrete , 5" thick, 3500psi saw cut control joints seal concrete remove forms & clean up $33,000.

@froggey5689 Год назад

Can you make a similar video like this for stamped concrete

@gunsandcars3648 Год назад

wow I got two driveways with screen and forms poured for less than half of that with 4 times the square ft , only cost 160 per yard for the concrete, three trucks of 4500 with mesh , 25 yards.

@snapkrispies5324 Год назад

Yeah he’s definitely high😂I’ve seen people in Michigan charged twice that amount and get it when people got money and they’re stupid they do ridiculous things I just watched a homeowner pay $1600 to take out a tree that was 4 foot tall and to clear out some rose vine bushes

@ronald6138 Год назад

@tnolan3176 Год назад

I worked for a couple of different of builders and each had their own price for concrete work .One would pay $1dollar a sq ft for garage and floor slabs just for labor ,the builder would supply all material and prep although they really didnt know how to prep !! Another would supply all material and I would prep,pour and finish flat work . And they paid $3.00 sqft . Now this was 2018 . Here in Pa.

@PartTimeYooper Год назад

This about as fair an honest as a concrete contractor will get. Keep in mind that these guys don't work much in winter, rainy days and a lot of places, Sundays. That means they need to make more per day. I think this is about 25% higher than what I normally pay but he is in a higher labor cost area

@robertoferrari5397 Год назад

@Drewdayz2419 Год назад

Man your price is great, I got people wanting $15 square foot to pour and concrete, nothing else , and I’m in a poor state, and you do high-quality work I hired Three different Concrete contractors in the past seven months and all three have had garbage work

@MikeDayConcrete Год назад

Wow Andrew, that's quite high.

@gladegoodrich2297 Год назад

Like that self leveling concrete! Most of the guys around here pour it so damn dry that they work themselves to death! Early 60s concrete was 15 bucks a yard and I charged 50 cents a square foot, 55 cents if a rock salt finish. That was for grading, forming and pouring. Did mostly swimming pool decking, which is a lot more difficult than a flat slab.

@stanr5645 Год назад

If you pour your concrete over a 5 in slump, you gambling on the strength!! I did commercial concrete for 25 years and tested in labs also, 4 " slump was the max,any one can pour wet concrete watch it detiorate in the next few years ,concrete designed strength is to be placed a 4" slump !

@@MrMajikman1 well they're not entirely wrong as long as the mixture isn't too dry. It's not a difficult trade to get good at.

@MrMajikman1 Год назад

@@TheEngineerJason "As long as the mixture isn't too dry?" What is the correct terminology for that, oh great one? I have my own business and I have been in the trade for forty years and still going. As an owner in the new construction field of full basement foundations, I have had to correct Architects on their structural/dimensional designs, I've had to correct Civil Engineers on their grading plans, I've had to assess ground density on site for bearing loads simply by looking at certain clays/soils. I have to make field determinations of which way to properly run the water off of the surface of the concrete so as not to impact a surrounding building. All of that with just a High School diploma, but 40 years of field experience. However, you are right, the "laboring part" is rather easy, but that is not ALL that is involved in concrete construction...if you are to be successful. Sure, you can pour your concrete with a 10" "SLUMP" (btw, that is the correct terminology for determining how "dry" or "wet" the concrete is) without using a water reducer...if you want it to crack. Obviously, there is much more to concrete construction that YOU and many other people are not aware of. Sun, wind, temperature, humidity, ALL contribute to how the concrete reacts as far as curing and finishing is concerned. And NO, concrete doesn't just "level and finish itself" regardless of what RU-vid tells you.

@gabec6522 Год назад

This is a solid price for concrete. Problem still is there are concrete guys out there that don't have a business and do it on the side for extra beer money. If you called a a big union company for this pour it would be 15gs if not more

by the square foot with all the xtras required to lay in prepping with bars, supports, iso strip and insulation seems best way to quote and consider. everything laid out, seems fine to me to meet those specific requirements. rather pay and have it done well and over than go through doing it.

@7.3powerstroke6 Год назад

Just a thought to keep in your mind, he has payroll to come up with each week. Just labor alone to keep his employees is $4200 a WEEK (3 employees) (rough estimate at $35 an hour) and at the end of the month thats almost $17,000. So when people question labor this is something they usually don't understand why it's so high.

@eastmanresearch3143 Год назад

If you were in my area i'd hire you to do a 600-1200 sq foot slab on a new project next summer. Your pricing seems fair. I did a 40x60 slab w/ footings for a big steel building 7 years ago for $12,000 but I did the excavation and prep myself, including engineered foundation to support a garco steel building. For a 2-3 car garage finished that's about double per sq foot of the big building I did but prices have gone up and your labor is worth double the cost of the concrete. I honestly don't trust most of the guys doing this work any longer - the finisher I had do the last slab was very fair and he has since retired due to health issues. At the time the finished cost for everything was going to be about $20k in 2015 not including my labor for 2400 sq feet if I didn't lift a finger.

@MikeDayConcrete Год назад

We used to do those steel building slabs all the time. 2' thick footings with a 6" slab all in one pour. They were around $10 per sq ft without styrofoam.

Mike it's great to see that I'm not to bad in doing my estimates. Would you care to share what is in your opinion and based on your market a fair cost to demo and haul existing concrete 4 inch #1 not reinforced #2 reinforced Or alternatively dig and haul 4-6inch dirt and set a #57 stone base once compacted.

@MikeDayConcrete Год назад

I sub out the demo and re-grade on existing concrete jobs, then we re-pour new. I know on a 24' x 24' garage floor the cost to demo (4" to 6"), haul off, and re-grade is around $5000.

@creteman48 Год назад

I am in southwest Michigan. I do all my own demo using my own equipment. I tear out using a Deere 80 excavator with thumb and a tri axle dump truck same as an excavating company would. I charge $1.50 per square foot for 4” driveway removal wire mesh or not. Garage floors we would do with a skid steer with a hydro lid hammer. I would charge my customer approximately $3000 for a garage floor tear out 24’x24’

Mike, I have some footings (18 inches expose on one corner) that support a 6 inch slab (total size is 10 X 12 foot) for a shed. Any suggestions on what to use on my corners to decrease chances that will corners will burst open during pouring concrete? I am located in Colorado and temps are 45 to 75 degrees range overnight to high noon. Thanks as this is my first concrete project. Very difficult to find anyone to do this job and that is why at 77 years old I am have dug the whole project (couldn't even find a backhoe for rent)

@MikeDayConcrete Год назад

We use metal banding, google it, it's a thin strip of metal that has holes in it. Comes in a roll so you can cut it to any length. Wrap it around the corner and screw it to both sides. It'll keep the corner from blowing out.

Mike, I just recently moved to Glastonbury CT. I'm looking to get a 6" slab poured in a 20' x 30' barn. I'm new here, have no network, so I'm just using the Google machine to find contractors in the area that do slab work. I must have called six contractors and not so much as a call back. It seems like a simple job. Is everybody that busy right now? Where else could I look to find a good contractor? I've been watching your show long enough now that I might just try to do it myself. Appreciate any advice you have.

@MikeDayConcrete Год назад

Find the closest ready mix concrete plant, call them and ask for the concrete dispatcher. Ask him who the best slab contractors are in your area, and you may even get their cell phone numbers. The dispatcher knows who is good and who isn't.

@joeconner2669 Год назад

Wow that’s way higher than what we get in Louisiana. My flat work rate is $6.50 a foot for 4” slab and we do the dirt work. Of corse we don’t have any foam are anything we have to put down. But that’s still a big difference. I’m at $6.50 and still get under bid a lot of times. I’ll go look at a project and see that some one else did it.

So basically a 24x24 I’d charge $3800 total job. Labor, materials and concrete included in that total.

I live in San Marcos TX but most my jobs are in the New Braunfels and canyon lake area and our going rate on labor and materials are the same at 6.50 and that's pushing it most guys are still charging 5.00 to 5.50 a square foot on flat work out here

@@sabasmendez-perez8560 yea it’s don’t matter what price you want, you have to be competitive with everyone else. People will hire the cheapest bid.

My boss is a nice guy and typically charges 7-8 a sq ft. Thats why i bid 90% of our jobs now. I have no issue getting us 10-12 a sq foot for basic form and pours. Tare out? 3-6 a sq ft. Stamped? 24 a sq foot on average.

Hey mike I’m in Vermont and for the last 4-5 years I’ve been charging around $500 per yard for 4” slabs with a thickened edge and 24” grid of 1/2” rebar + cost of extra materials like styrofoam. I’m guessing that our pricing is similar, I think I’m going to go up a little bit considering the cost of concrete and steel has gone up. Thanks for sharing your rates it’s always helpful to me 👍

@MikeDayConcrete Год назад

You're rate sounds about right.

@mirocabraja5128 Год назад

So for 4 yards you charge 2000. Wow that’s cheap, in Canada we charge more. I would charge 4-5000 for those 4 yards.

In all my years doing concrete we never did styro in a garage , and very seldom wire. Concrete was about $25 per yard and by the year 2000 concrete was up in the $90,s, now it’s much more than that. The prep work is a time consumer, in your area, they seem to have the grade really close from what I see on your video,s. Hauses concrete in PA nobody has any grade remotely close, regardless you have to get paid for your time and or equipment use, thanks for your spread sheet on cost.

I just did a pour (homeowner) and concrete was $205 per yard... 6 weeks wait 3000 PSI.

Most of the time the grades are good here. Gravel work is always subbed to an excavator, it's all they do.

Wow! That's kind of expensive.

I have a question, if your planning to store/ wash cars inside the garage , what’s the most slope you can use to push the water out the door ?

@outfitr9703 Год назад

Not sure what the "most" slope is but on a 24' garage we usually go 2" slope back to front.

@Lakeman3211 Год назад

Up here I use 1” per 12’ slope to ensure absolutely zero ponding, we have done aprons at 7” and the customer thought it was level??

How do I estimate how many cubic yards of concrete I need for a swimming pool? I understand how to convert square feet to cubic yards but I am confused with the math behind the construction of a swimming pool. If someone could provide me with the formula. That would help me a lot. Another way I ask my question is as follows. For example, a pool is 45 feet in length, 15 feet in width and the concrete is 0.6 inches in depth. The pool’s shallow end is 4 feet, and the deep end gradually declines to 12 feet deep. (Ignore the steps and possible ledges in the pool, i got that figured out). Thank you to anyone that responds.

Honestly $6700 and change is not bad for that size slab. Yeah there will be a lot of people on here that will try it on their own to save money and that's cool, but you can't beat high-level craftsmanship.
