How we set these ranges
Every price on these pages comes from published 2025-26 Ottawa-area or Ontario price pages, read in September 2026. No government body publishes Ottawa concrete prices, so these are marketing pages, and we never name them. We publish a range only where at least two of them agree.
What met that bar
- Plain broom-finish slab: about $9 to $15 per square foot, with two Ottawa price pages describing a small-job minimum of about $5,500.
- Stamped concrete: roughly $15 to $45+ per square foot. The sources spread about three times, so we give one envelope and no tiers.
- Exposed aggregate: about $13 to $28 per square foot.
- Poured steps: about $2,500 to $5,000+ per set of 3 to 5 steps. One of the two sources is outside Ottawa, so we label it Ontario published prices.
- Removal: one national cost page puts demolition and disposal at about $1,000 to $5,000 or more for a project; we give it with that caveat and no per-square-foot figure.
What did not
Resurfacing, crack repair, levelling or slab lifting, partial replacement, a new garage floor slab, precast steps and sealing each had a single published source, so those pages say "too few published prices" instead of a number.
What we left out on purpose
An Ottawa directory page dated after the day we read it, a marketplace guide we could not read in full, and commercial precast pricing. The City's access permit fee comes from the Access By-law schedule. Trail Road's disposal rates come from the City's rates page.
