Concrete · Scope

One question to ask about a driveway replacement estimate

Pick one line of the bid. A follow-up that rewrites the whole scope does not get answered.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

The line that gets replies

Are we keeping the plain broom finish, or do you want a stamped price? Put $9,800 in the email so they know which driveway replacement you mean.

Included and left out

Included: removal of the old slab, a new driveway at the thickness we specced, and broom finish. Left out: a sealer, and the city approach if the apron is in the right of way. Haul-away and thickness are the cost. A thinner slab is the cheaper bid and the one that cracks. Do not thin the slab to win the follow-up.
