Since you have purchased your home, you have had to stick with the same patio concrete slab that came with the house. However, as you have nestled into your house and made it into a home, that slab isn’t as visually pleasing as it used to be, and you are ready to do something about it. Getting stamped concrete is one way to turn this boring slab into something more aesthetically pleasing. But one of the first questions that comes to mind when you think about it is how much does a stamped concrete patio cost in St. Paul? Here is a breakdown.
If you are considering getting a stamped concrete patio, a complete installation in the St. Paul area and surrounding communities could cost you about $3300 on average. This average can go up or down drastically depending on the amount of space the stamped concrete installation team must cover and what they must do to your stamped concrete. For instance, adding color and a sealant once the stamped concrete is complete could tack on a few hundred dollars. Covering a large amount of square footage in your backyard can also increase the price substantially. A few other factors that may affect the cost of your stamped concrete include the pattern, how accessible the patio is, removal of old concrete or dirt, or whether you want borders. As a result, your pay range for installing stamped concrete could be as low as $1,000 and as high as $7,000.
To be a bit more accurate about the costs you may incur, calculating by square feet may be a good idea. The average patio is about 16 by 18 feet. If you plan to replace the current slab with something more decorative, the cost is typically about $8 to $10 per square foot. Your price range for this work would be between $2,304 to $2,880. If you want the stamped concrete company to extend your slab further into your yard, you would need to determine the square feet and make calculations to get an idea of how much the work may cost. The price per square foot may go up substantially if you add colors or more intricate designs. The price per square foot could range between $10 to $28.
Installing stamped concrete can be substantially cheaper than installing traditional pavers such as brick or flagstone. These materials can run $100 to several thousand dollars more than stamped concrete. In addition, stamped concrete is more durable because, once the stamped concrete is sealed, it is protected from UV rays, moss, and stains. Flagstone may chip or break over time, and brick pavers can crack, creating trip hazards for you and your guest. Stamped concrete contractors can create the look of bricks and flagstone patios without the problems that come with installing them.
Ultimately, if you want to make significant price comparisons, it is a good idea to decide which of the three stamped concrete companies in St. Paul you would like to work with and ask for written estimates from each. The companies will need to come out and inspect the areas you want to fill with stamped concrete and give you an estimate on the work you want to be done. If you wish to get stamped concrete walls or firepits, they should also include those items on the estimate. You should take each of the estimates and compare line items and discover the differences in prices. If you notice drastic changes in price on similar line items, this presents an excellent opportunity to ask questions about the price difference. A lower price doesn’t mean it is a better service. A company may charge a higher fee for their stamped concrete services because maybe it includes haul away costs for the old patio debris. So, when you are getting quotes for your stamped concrete services, it is a good idea to ask hard questions and get legitimate answers about what you are paying for.
