Planning notes

  • Finishing estimate looks reasonable for the selected area, finish type, and crew productivity.

How concrete finishing cost is estimated

Concrete finishing cost is usually based on slab area, finish difficulty, labor productivity, crew rate, surface texture, edge work, saw cutting, curing, sealing, and cleanup. Decorative finishes such as stamped concrete often require more labor, materials, timing, and sealing than a basic broom or trowel finish.

1. Enter area

Use length and width to calculate the finishing surface area.

2. Choose finish

Select broom, trowel, exposed aggregate, stamped, or custom finish pricing.

3. Add extras

Add curing, sealing, saw cuts, edge work, cleanup, and minimum job charges.
