Concrete Contractor Hourly Rate — Frequently Asked Questions

Add your desired annual income to your annual overhead costs to get total revenue needed. Divide that by your billable hours per year. That's your minimum rate. Add 20% buffer for a recommended rate, or divide by 0.70 for a 30% profit margin rate. At $80,000 take-home with $22,000 overhead and 1,288 billable hours, your minimum is around $79/hr.
The average concrete contractor charges $70—$100/hr in the US. Decorative concrete specialists (stamped, polished, epoxy) typically charge $90—$130/hr due to the skill and equipment involved. Plain flatwork — driveways, slabs, sidewalks — sits at the lower end of the range where competition is higher.
No — decorative and specialty work should carry a premium. Stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, and polished floors require more skill and equipment and command 20—40% higher rates than plain flatwork. Set a base rate using this calculator and adjust up for complexity, access difficulty, and finish type.
Raise your rate 5—8% annually to keep pace with inflation and rising material costs. Concrete, rebar, and fuel costs all increase yearly. If you haven't raised your rate in 2+ years, you're almost certainly undercharging. Most clients expect annual price adjustments — a clear, professional communication makes it easy to absorb.
Concrete contractors typically carry higher overhead than other trades due to equipment costs (mixers, screeds, trowels, saws) and vehicle requirements. Factor $18,000—$28,000 in annual overhead into your rate calculation. Equipment depreciation, maintenance, and insurance should all be included — most contractors undercount these and end up working for less than they think.
