A patio quote can swing widely between contractors, and it's usually not because one crew is greedy. It's because they're quoting different work.
The drivers
Size, shape complexity, slope and drainage planning, demolition of an existing slab, reinforcement, and finish. A simple rectangular broom-finish pad and a curved stamped patio with a border are different projects at the same square footage.
What gets left out of cheap quotes
Sub-base compaction, control joint layout, and cleanup are the usual omissions. All three are written into our defined scope. Final pricing is provided after the on-site walkthrough and documented in a written proposal.
How you pay
Milestone-based billing: billing follows the milestones set in your proposal, and you review each completed phase before it is billed.
Budgeting without a number
Decide your must-haves — size, finish, drainage — before the walkthrough. Then the written quote reflects what you actually want instead of an average.
The short version
Compare scope, not just totals. Two patio quotes are rarely for the same patio.
