How much does a concrete patio cost in Winston-Salem?

Concrete patios in Winston-Salem, NC are priced per square foot, so start with your footprint: the two sizes we pour most are 20 by 20 at 400 square feet and 20 by 30 at 600. Three things then decide the price. Small patios cost more per square foot than large ones, because getting a crew and a concrete truck out is a fixed cost whether they pour 144 square feet or 600. The finish matters next, with a broom finish as the baseline and stamped work at the top. And a sloping back yard can add grading and fill that has nothing to do with the concrete itself.

Why small patios cost more per square foot

A 12 by 12 patio sits at or below what many contractors treat as a minimum job, because the crew, the truck and the mobilisation cost roughly the same whether they pour 144 square feet or 400.

In practice that means very small patios often get quoted higher than the per-square-foot maths suggests, and some contractors will decline them outright. If you are close to the line, it is often worth pricing a larger footprint at the same time.

Finish options and what they change

The slab underneath is the same. What changes is the finishing stage, and that is where the cost spread comes from.

Why quotes for the same job can be far apart

Patio quotes vary most on three things: whether the slab is reinforced, what the finish is, and how much grading or fill the site needs before forms go in. A sloping yard can add real cost that has nothing to do with the concrete itself. Ask each quote to state the finish, the reinforcement, and what site prep is included.

Common questions

How much does a 20x20 concrete patio cost?⌄
A 20 by 20 patio is 400 square feet, and patios are priced per square foot, so that footprint sets the base number. From there the finish decides most of the rest: a broom finish is the baseline, and exposed aggregate, integral color and stamped work each cost more. We measure the site, check the fall away from the house, and give you a written price on the finishes side by side so you can see the difference before you pick one.
Is a concrete patio cheaper than pavers?⌄
Generally yes. Poured concrete usually costs less installed than an equivalent paver patio, and it has no joints for weeds to come through. Pavers can be lifted and relaid individually, which concrete cannot.
How long before I can use a new patio?⌄
Foot traffic after 24 to 48 hours and furniture after a few days. Heavy items like planters and hot tubs should wait for the full cure, around 28 days.
