Concrete or brick paver installation costs $8 to $25 per square foot. You'll get individually placed bricks that can add variety and color. Materials and labor are both higher than a simple concrete slab but comparable to an intricate stamped and stained design. Make sure you discuss specifics with your patio contractor before the project begins so you can budget accordingly.
Building a concrete patio takes between two to four days from start to finish. This timeframe includes site preparation, forming, pouring, and curing the concrete. The exact duration depends on factors such as the complexity of your design, the patio size, weather conditions, and the availability of materials and labor. Projects with intricate designs or additional features will take longer to complete.
A well-maintained concrete patio can last 30 to 50 years. And often longer with something as simple as a resurfacing. Resurfacing concrete costs $4 per square foot on average. Like most other structures, the amount of care and maintenance you put into your patio will increase its longevity and help you enjoy it for years to come.
Extending your existing patio costs the same as any new patio, or $6 to $16 per square foot on average. For example, if you want to add 50 square feet to your existing patio, expect to pay somewhere between $300 to $800 (at minimum) for that extension. If you add any higher-end or specialty features, your costs will exceed this range.
