Size readings, priced apart by frame
| Size row, Frame A | 4 in reading | 6 in reading |
|---|---|---|
| 75 sq ft row | $600-$900 | $700-$1,000 |
| 100 sq ft sidewalk row | $800-$1,200 | $900-$1,300 |
| 130 sq ft row | $1,050-$1,550 | $1,150-$1,700 |
| 200 sq ft sidewalk row | $1,600-$2,400 | $1,800-$2,600 |
| Average row, per square foot | about $10 | about $2,000 for 200 sq ft |
| Single 5x5 slab replacement row | $130-$380 | one slab row |
| Slab concrete row, per square foot | about $6 | concrete line only |
| Demolition row, per square foot | $2-$6 | disposal up to $230 per ton |
| Labor row, per hour | about $75 | $50-$130 |
Each reading is one frame counting of one size row, never blended. Frame A holds the 4 in line and the 6 in line apart at every size, and the same walk is never carried across the size line.
Tier lines behind the size rows, printed once
| Tier row, Frame B | Per square foot reading | Frame B note |
|---|---|---|
| Basic tier row | $7-$12 | broom finish line |
| Mid-range tier row | $12-$17 | decorative finish line |
| High-end custom tier row | $17-$20 | custom border line |
| Total installed row | $7-$17 | $1,400-$3,400 for a 4 ft by 50 ft sidewalk |
| Materials row | $2-$6 | materials line only |
| Labor and supplies row | $5-$11 | labor line only |
| Permit row | $50-$100 | permit line only |
The tier lines stand once here, inside Frame B alone, with the total-installed split printed as materials on one line and labor and supplies on another. A tier is a finish counting, not a size counting -- a frame difference.
Repair lines behind the size rows, printed once
| Repair row, Frame B | Per square foot reading | Frame B note |
|---|---|---|
| Sealing and caulking row | $1-$3 | repair row |
| Grinding row | $1-$4 | repair row |
| Mudjacking row | $3-$6 | the lifting ticket, named apart |
| Resurfacing row | $3-$7 | repair row |
| Removal row | $3-$8 | repair row |
| Replacement and repour row | $10-$25+ | replacement row |
| Remove-and-replace row | $10-$25+ | replacement row |
| Sealing row | $1-$3 | sealing line only |
Repair rows stand as their own rows here, inside Frame B alone, never averaged into a size row. The frames count the same job on different bases -- a per-square-foot average and a size table in Frame A against tier, total, and repair tables in Frame B. Those differences are named as frame differences on every page, never averaged.
The neighbours named apart
Named apart, never a row here: concrete sealing (it seals an existing walk), concrete lifting and mudjacking (they level an existing slab; its row stands inside Frame B only), paver walkways and paver driveways, and asphalt paving -- this cluster prices sidewalk installation, replacement, and repair alone.
The local read
The local read: the frames above are national published frames, and a written quote for one address, one size, and one thickness is the only local figure; the frames stand as published, apart, never blended.
