SAN ANTONIO CONCRETE MASTER

To book a job, contact us by phone or through our online request form. We will ask about the project location, size, intended use, access, and preferred timing. For most jobs, our team schedules a site visit to measure the area, review drainage and base needs, and discuss finish options. We then provide a written scope and estimate before setting a start date. Once you approve the proposal, we confirm scheduling, site preparation requirements, and any permit responsibilities.

For urgent issues such as a trip hazard, failed concrete section, drainage-related damage, or a driveway area needing prompt attention, contact us by phone and describe the safety concern. We prioritize active hazards and time-sensitive access problems, then confirm the earliest available assessment window. In San Antonio, TX, same-day communication is often possible during business hours, while on-site timing depends on crew availability, weather, material access, and whether temporary protection is needed. We will clearly explain the next practical step.

A 20x20 concrete slab contains 400 square feet. For a standard 4-inch residential slab, homeowners commonly budget about $3,600 to $6,500 for professional installation, including basic grading, compacted base, forms, concrete placement, and a broom finish. Reinforcement, thicker concrete, difficult access, demolition, drainage corrections, decorative finishes, or permit requirements raise the total. We inspect the site before quoting so the slab is sized for its actual use, whether it is for a patio, shed, or vehicle parking.

Concrete contractors generally price complete work by the square foot or by the project, not by a single universal fee. In our area, a basic poured slab often starts around $8 to $15 per square foot, while driveways, reinforced slabs, stamped finishes, removals, and drainage work cost more. Small jobs may have a higher per-square-foot cost because mobilization, forms, and concrete delivery still apply. Our team provides a written estimate that separates preparation, thickness, reinforcement, finish, and any removal work.

For 1,000 square feet of standard 4-inch concrete, a practical installed budget is often about $8,000 to $15,000 for a straightforward slab with normal site access. That range generally covers base preparation, forming, placement, and a basic finish. A driveway designed for vehicles, a thicker slab, steel reinforcement, poor soil, removal of existing concrete, or decorative work can move the investment higher. Because 1,000 square feet requires substantial material and scheduling, we measure access and grade before giving a firm proposal.

A 12x12 slab covers 144 square feet, but its price is affected by minimum crew, delivery, and setup costs that apply even to smaller pours. A standard 4-inch slab commonly falls around $1,800 to $3,200 when the site is accessible and preparation is straightforward. The final scope may include excavation, gravel base, forms, reinforcement, and a broom finish. We also verify what the slab will support; a shed pad, patio, and equipment pad may require different thicknesses or reinforcement.

In San Antonio, TX, ready-mix concrete alone commonly runs about $150 to $200 per cubic yard before delivery-related charges, short-load fees, fuel surcharges, additives, or specialty mixes. One yard equals 27 cubic feet, so a 4-inch slab requires roughly one cubic yard per 81 square feet, plus allowance for waste and grade variation. That material figure is not the installed project cost. Our estimates also account for base work, forms, reinforcement, labor, finishing, access, and cleanup.

We do not usually quote new slabs by the hour because a fixed project estimate gives customers a clearer total. For repair, demolition, troubleshooting, or small custom tasks where hourly billing is appropriate, concrete labor commonly falls around $50 to $100 per worker hour, with equipment, materials, disposal, and delivery billed separately when needed. Crew rates can be higher because they include multiple workers and specialized tools. Before work begins, we explain whether the job is priced by scope, square footage, or hourly labor.
