Standard
$485 – $688
The most common outcome: typical scope, mid-grade materials, a little prep or adjustment along the way.
Extensive
$688 – $800+
Larger scope, premium materials, difficult access, or repairs needed before the main work can start.
Typical time on site
About 2.5 hrs – 6 hrs for a standard job, not counting material pickup or a return visit if something unexpected turns up.
Labor vs. materials
Roughly 65% labor and 35% materials for this type of work.
Size and thickness
Volume of concrete plus the forming work drives the price — steps take far more forming than a flat pad.
Forming and reinforcement
Building forms, adding rebar or mesh and preparing a compacted base is most of the labor before any pour.
Access for delivery
If a truck can't reach the spot, the concrete has to be wheeled or mixed on site, which adds time and crew.

Rates vary market to market. Your quote reflects what the pro in your ZIP actually charges — not a national guess.
