Question:

Cost of laying cement?

I have an 8x10 slab against the house, I would like it to be extended to an 12x12. How much would it cost to have someone pour it?

Answer:

That should be more than easy enough to do yourself. A little research on the internet or a friend that might know something would be ideal. Cement is a little pricey right now, but, that is a small enough area it shouldn't be much of a factor. We're talking about maybe between $100-$200 for cement.
Yeah! I always take advice about CONCRETE from some one that calls it CEMENT. You are talking about adding 2' to one side of the slab, and 4' to another. This is difficult to make work, because the additional slabs will always be separate and will move independently from the existing slab. You can dowel the slabs together, if you have a rotor-hammer drill (most people don't). If you attempt this yourself, with no experience with CONCRETE, you will probably not be happy with it. Call a Flat-work Contractor and have them give you a quote, then you can decide if it is worth your inexperienced time (cause it will take you twice as long to do it), and the price quotes are FREE.
