Common questions
How much more does a stamped concrete patio cost?
For a 12 × 16 ft concrete patio, stamped concrete runs about $3,350–$4,250 versus $1,700–$2,150 for broom finish in Pittsburgh area, roughly 100% more. The extra cost is stamping materials and slower finishing labor.
How thick should a concrete patio be?
Four inches is standard for patios and is what our estimates assume. Go thicker if a hot tub or outdoor kitchen will sit on it.
Should a concrete patio be sealed?
Sealing is optional for plain broom finish but recommended for stamped and colored concrete, which fades and wears faster without it. Plan to reseal every few years.
Do I need a permit for a patio?
Ground-level patios often don't need one, but rules vary by borough and township. Check with yours, especially if the patio changes drainage or sits near a property line.
