How Does Stamped Concrete Cost Compare to Plain Concrete?

Generally, stamped concrete costs about 20% to 40% more than a plain gray slab. This price difference is driven by:

  • Coloring Agents: Integral colors mixed into the concrete and antique release agents added to the surface.
  • Patterning Labor: The careful coordination required to stamp the concrete before it sets.
  • Sealing: Applying a protective sealant to lock in the colors and textures.
