| Standard concrete patio slab, would be 4 inches thick. How much site preparation is necc.? Is it on shifting soil & thus needs a type of footing or some post hole supports, to help prevent shifting, cracking & thus a shorter life for the concrete. Personally I think you should get 5-6 bids. Talk to all biders & ask what they would do at their house; what will last the longest with the least amount of cost. I would also bet you know someone, that knows someone in construction, get their opinion of the bids & the project. I did a 16 x 20 concrete slab, last year. Put 12, 3 ft. deep post holes filled with concrete, at time of pouring, to support it; as it is on shifting soil. We used "fiber concrete" due to it's added strength & didn't want to use reinforcement wire mesh. Be sure to have the installer, "strike" the slab into 4 sections, so that if it does crack, it should crack in the strikes. "striking" is the lines made into the concrete, while it is wet. Edit: To tell if the size is big enough, take 4 coat hangers or markers of some type; mark the cornors & put what you want on the slab, inside the marks. arrange how you will & see if YOU are happy. Will cost much less to bigger NOW; rather than later. If you have a good installer, this is a standard action. Hope all this helps, please feel free to contact me direct if you feel I might help further.  I'll definitely send you a email...I have a few more questions...I feel I work hard and I dont want to get rip off, so Im trying to get as much info as I can before I hirer someone..... | |

| How deep is the patio because to do a good estimate you need to know the volume of concrete that you are being qouted. its not a bad price but a little online research and you can find out what kinda of profit you are allowing him to make off you. | |
