I know a few of you are from around here or have houses here...I'm in need of about 1700sf of concrete. Any suggestions?

We used Centennial Concrete out of Henderson. We had a 20’ by 70’ area of RV parking done. They were very reasonable. They just did our neighbors house also.
We had the option of 4” or 5” and we went with the 5”. He also gave us quotes with rebar and with the fiber mesh. We went with the fiber mesh. I believe it was about $8500 and we had it done in September or October of 2020.HBCraig, it's for RV parking. It's a 35 x 50 area with an angled front to meet up with existing concrete. Mrs. Riley1, do you mind sharing how much you paid and how long ago this was? Was your 6" concrete or 4"? Did they install rebar or anything for strength?
I've got one quote but when asked about if 6" concrete will handle the 50k weight, they didn't have the answer. Didn't know what the concrete PSI was. I was given the guy's number as he does work on the side and works a "big crew" during the day. I'm not sold on the capability and want to do it ONCE and not have it crack in 3 years like the last stuff I had done at my last house by "a guy on the side."

Just a little followup here. Still have not had any work done. The whole job was for a concrete slab and cover for my RV. Roughly 35' wide and 50' long. So far I've had one quote on just the concrete for $10,000. This was the guy I didn't trust as he couldn't answer the questions about rebar, weight, etc. He's since gone MIA anyway.
2nd quote was just for a cover...$10,000 for a steel carport like structure bolted to the dirt, no cover. Something like this, with a few panels on the back and one side to keep the sun off.

3rd quote just came in to do the whole job. $128,000!
Really, is this fuckin' rocket science or what? Pour some concrete and build a cover to keep the sun off my RV and trailer. Why does it have to cost the price of a new house?
WTF!
3250,,,,city mix.With that sq.ft., a 5" slab will be three full 9 yard loads. 20' long rebar 24" OC will be 103 pieces and 18" OC will be 137 pieces. When pouring any concrete always try to get a big rock mix and not a pea gravel. Pea gravel just doesn't have the strength big rock has. When I worked in LA all we used was a big rock mix, 560C3250. Big rock requires a 4" pump, if you are going to pump. Most pumps are 3" and for pea gravel. You should be able to tailgate the mix and set a form or clean the edge where the trucks exit out and lift the rebar as you pour.
If he wasn't in Vegas. My Cat Skidsteer is just sitting collecting dust. I am at the job now where I poured the swim spa slab no cracks. Got our retaining wall dug here and the city lost the blue prints they approved holding us up.How about a weekend RDP build a new driveway party? I'm sure we have some guys that can operate a skip loader, set forms and rebar, and pour and finish concrete. We can be paid in many forms. Like with beer, expensive RDP shirts, $18 sandwiches, 10mm sockets.
Nothing to add that hasn’t already been said, but here’s mine. I’ve been working weekends on it for a few months. Steel building foundation, 50 x 75 x 6” thick with #4, 18” each way and turn down footing. 16 enlarged column footings. Did all this myself thus far. Expecting to pay $40K~ for concrete floor placed with a truck pump and commercial contractor using a laser screed. I want a very flat slab with very sealed surface, like a Home Depot or Walmart slab.

Where you at? I must live in a real shitty market. I just did that exact same building @ 4" thick with a pump for 27K. With no boom pump and no polished floor.Nothing to add that hasn’t already been said, but here’s mine. I’ve been working weekends on it for a few months.

Awesome…I love my neighborhood it’s always been friendly to doing a build like this@702sandman you live 2 streets down from my engine builder. I saw the build when dropping my boat off the other week so I went and drove past to see it. Looks good!
Update . I just had a pad and pool deck extension done and cant be happier . Fair pricing and good work . I look forward to using him for the rest of my concrete work . Thanks againI have a great guy that I’ve used for 20 years and has poured 15+ houses for me over the years, lots of flat work, stamped work and pretty much anything concrete. I trust him 100%. Here’s a pic of my detached garage he just poured 6” thick and 4500 psi. He lives in vegas. pm me if you want his info. View attachment 1031009 View attachment 1031010 View attachment 1031011
