As of 2025, stamped concrete patio installation in Wichita costs between $8 and $28 per square foot total. Typical project expenses range from $2,600 to $5,800 for a 250-600 sq ft patio. This includes materials and labor for skilled crews, aligning with regional labor market trends. Material costs average $2–$6/sq ft, while labor accounts for $4–$8 or more depending on pattern complexity and crew rates. These figures provide professionals with a solid foundation for budget planning, labor cost comparisons, and margin analysis.
| Cost Component | Approx Range (per sq ft) |
|---|---|
| Materials (concrete, color hardener, release, sealer) | $2–$6 |
| Labor (standard pattern) | $4–$8 |
| Complex pattern / multi-color / borders | $12–$28 |
| Site prep / excavation | $1–$6 |
| Reinforcement / vapor barrier | $0.35–$1.25 |
| Permit & fees | $50–$300 total |
Overestimation can erode profitability on competitive bids. To refine estimates:
Estimating crew labor component: for a 400 sq ft mid-range project at $14 per sq ft, labor may represent $6–$9. If combined crew productivity is 100 sq ft per day, crews should estimate hours and hourly burden to validate markup and margins.
Trade professionals benefit from: clear per-sq-ft cost tables, crew role hour allocations, and buffer guidelines for site prep and complexity. Begin project estimates with real local rate inputs, apply crew labor cost models, and validate with supplier quotes and permitting lookup.
| Project Size (sq ft) | Estimated Total Cost Range |
|---|---|
| 250 | $2,600 – $7,000 |
| 400 | $3,200 – $11,200 |
| 600 | $4,800 – $16,800 |
This table reflects total installed cost—including materials, stamping labor, site prep, sealing, reinforcement.
A Wichita concrete contractor refined their installation bid accuracy using labor-rate breakdown by role and pattern complexity. By applying per-sq-ft benchmarks and allocating 5–10% contingency for site variance, they reduced bid revisions by 30% and improved crew utilization.
