FAQ's

Most of the time, a contractor will need to check out the location of your project to give you an accurate price per square foot. Many variables go into the cost of pouring concrete, like labor, ease of access, yards of concrete, etc.

When you are wondering where to find a reliable contractor, you will probably do a quick Google search of "concrete companies near me". We recommend getting quotes from multiple companies to determine who is the most qualified and trustworthy.

Concrete patio costs are not a plug-and-play type of price. Each contractor will give your project a different price based on materials, labor, equipment, and permits. The average cost of a slab patio is about $10 per square foot, but your unique patio project's location, size, shape, and look will all affect the final cost. 

Overall, a simple yet reliable slab will cost less than the more decorative and high-end stamped concrete option.

Removing and replacing your concrete can be a costly and lengthy process. Because of this, a frequent question asked among concrete patio owners is if they can stamp over existing concrete. 

Fortunately, Fort Collins Concrete Co can provide you with new stamped concrete over your current slab. Overlays are a cost-effective and lasting option for improving your concrete. 

However, sometimes because of wear and tear over time of old slabs, a new stamped concrete patio will save you money and headache in the future.

When it comes to the cost of stamped concrete, the price can vary greatly. Because of the variety of directions to go with your stamped concrete, you should expect to pay between $8 and $18 per square foot. 

Although stamping your concrete is more expensive than a basic slab, it is cheaper than other decorative options for your patio. Along with the affordable price, stamped concrete can give you the look of all sorts of materials, including brick, stone, and natural stone.

With old existing stamped concrete, resurfacing may be a quick and easy way to restore its shine. Resurfacing allows you to have the look of freshly poured concrete without replacing your whole patio. 

Have a local contractor look at the wear and tear of your concrete, and if the damage is minor, an easy clean and resurfacing can be done. If the damage is more structural due to the colorado elements, removal and replacement may be your best option.

You should expect to pay between $3,000 - $15,000, depending on the size and design of your driveway. It also depends on the contractor you use. We recommend getting multiple bids and talking to different contractors. 

Generally, it is best to avoid picking the cheapest bid because of how important your driveway is to your home long term. 

A concrete driveway can last for a lifetime if poured correctly. Because of this, paying a small premium for a company you can trust will save you time, money, and pain in the future.

If your driveway needs repair, you have two options. You can either level and caulk the concrete or replace it altogether. Concrete leveling means pumping appropriate material directly under the slab and lifting it until it is level. Once leveled, the cracks are filled with caulk to prevent water from deteriorating the slab. 

Leveling and repairing can be a quick fix, but sometimes concrete repairs are a temporary fix that will keep rearing its head in the future. To save you time and money going forward, removal and replacement are often recommended. 

Make sure to get an opinion from multiple contractors to make an educated decision about your driveway moving forward.

When deciding which route to take on your driveway, it is important to weigh a few factors. First is the extent of the damage. At times, when sunken in areas, deep cracks, or potholes are present, concrete repairs will repeatedly be needed, and replacement is the way to go. On the other hand, a simple repair or new resurface might do the trick if your concrete is relatively new. 

Second is the timeline. How long do you plan on staying in your home? Are you planning on moving or making this your home base in the next few years? Either way, it is important to contact a professional to make sure you make the right decision.
