|---|---|

What affects the cost of concrete?
Two identical-looking driveways can be priced very differently. The main factors are:
- Square footage and thickness. Bigger and thicker slabs use more material and labor. A four-inch residential slab costs less per foot than a six-inch slab built for heavy loads.
- Finish. Plain concrete is cheapest; colored, exposed-aggregate, and stamped finishes cost more.
- Site preparation. Grading, excavation, and hauling in base material add cost, especially on sloped or soft ground.
- Removing old concrete. Tear-out and disposal of an existing slab typically adds $2 to $6 per square foot.
- Reinforcement. Rebar or wire mesh adds strength and a modest cost.
- Access and permits. Tight access for trucks and equipment, and permits for work near the public right of way, can raise the total.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace concrete?
When damage is limited to one section or the surface and the base underneath is sound, a repair or resurfacing is far cheaper than replacement, often a few hundred dollars versus several thousand. When concrete is cracked throughout, sinking, or the base has failed, replacement is usually the smarter long-term value. In Spokane’s freeze-thaw climate, addressing cracks early keeps small problems from turning into full replacements.
Concrete Cost FAQs
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Spokane?
A standard two-car concrete driveway in the Spokane area runs about $4,000 to $9,000, or roughly $8 to $15 per square foot. Decorative finishes like stamping or coloring add to that. The final price depends on size, thickness, and whether old concrete needs removal.
How much does a concrete patio cost in Spokane?
A basic concrete patio costs about $6 to $10 per square foot, so a 12 by 12 patio typically runs $1,500 to $4,000. Stamped or colored patios run $12 to $20 per square foot. Site prep and finish choice are the main cost drivers.
Is stamped concrete more expensive than plain concrete?
Yes. Plain broom-finished concrete runs about $6 to $10 per square foot, while stamped concrete runs $12 to $20. Stamped concrete costs more because of the forms, coloring, and hand-finishing, but it is still far cheaper than natural stone or pavers.
What makes concrete cost more?
The biggest cost factors are square footage, slab thickness, the finish you choose, site preparation and excavation, reinforcement, access for equipment, removal of any old concrete, and permits. Decorative work and difficult sites raise the price the most.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace concrete?
Repair is usually cheaper when the damage is limited to one section or the surface and the base is sound. When concrete is cracked throughout, heaving, or the base has failed, replacement is the better value. A free assessment tells you which makes sense.
