Here in Houston,TX is free to dump and if you open an account they pay you by the load. People charge $1 a sqft if its 1,000 and up. I have a Bobcat MT-100 and I do patios & garages. I charge double because the big machines dont fit and I do,so thats my specialty. Keep posting videos 👍🏼

That concrete looks to me in great shape. Why was the owner having it removed?

Absolutely “THE BEST CONCRETE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO” on KZread 👏‼️ I appreciate your transparency on how concrete works , from why is cracks, the purpose of rebar, the purpose of mesh, how concrete is strategically removed and the cost. I’m so glad you posted this video! Why you might ask? Well I’m currently have a concrete walkway installed and I’m trying to get a better understanding why rebar and mesh is important. One of my other questions that I have is, what is the importance of making sure the soil is compact before the concrete is poured? My last question is this...do you recommend compacted crushed stone sub-grade, under the slab? This part of the country has very sandy soil. Thank you Jason for uploading this video. I’m a subscriber 🙂.

Excellent video Jason!

great job!! couldn't help but notice minute 4:30. customer hands over some treats? lol.. keep it up

All the darn concrete lifting and removal I do with a jacked up driveway destroyed by tree roots...this machine is awesome!!

$1sqft in Houston for breakout and haul off. Free dumping at most facilities.

Where do you free dump concrete in Houston?

I think about 2400 hundred dollars.Tony from New Mexico

Yeah sugar moma and salt and pepper chicken wings. Mmmm. The guy in the back ground you couldn't take in public or share a secret with. Lol great instructional. Thanks

Question, would this have been as simple a job if the installer had pulled the wire mesh up into the concrete like he should have instead of leaving it lay on the ground as most do. I am estimating $1750 total with $640 disposal (including trucking). Thanks for posting this, really enjoyed the video.

How about FIBERGLASS REINFORCING MESH OR RE-RODS??

Great videos. How long did this job take you? How fast does your saw cut? I'm doing a 2300 sqft removal next month!

Saw cutting is normally slow. I can have this job done in 4 hours if I hire a dump truck. If I haul away 6-8

I charge $5 per sq. ft. but I have to pay to dump it (concrete places here won’t take it with metal in it) and the dump is 60 miles away.

Ever encounter a fiber driveway

How much would you have charged if it had rebar??

Jason, what if it’s more sqft is it less or same charge. What state you in I’m in the real south est part of Texas

I charge about $2500 plus tax for this. With a bin

So did you stress cut the dowels where it meets the garage slab or did you hammer right up to the house?

Good work,I'm thinking it was about $3700 dollars to do it all.

@oxconcreteremovalfirewoodm3863

There's benefits to both. I say fiberglass rebar can be better then steel rebar. It doesn't rust and the fiberglass rebar doesn't expand causing concrete to crack or pop. Steel is definitely stronger, but I would say for a driveway you'd be fine with fiberglass. That's my opinion today. It may change in the future when I've had more experience with it.

I'm doing a 12x12 pad for my shed .. do you think wiremesh is ok or rebar?

👍

My driveway slab is way worse than this one. I have no idea why the removal was justified. May be too rich.

@@gabrieljimenez2922 I have a farm that I have to replace old concrete on every few years as it breaks apart (2-4" no reinforcement, old stuff). Sometimes I use a skidloader backhoe attachment to drag it out, that works better in some situations. Like I had a piece that was cocked upward against a retaining wall that goes down so I could only come at it from the far side. It was easier on the slab I wanted to save that was adjoining it if I curl the high end towards me vs. trying to pry it out with forks and I couldn't get close enough to hook the high end with the forks.

@@oxconcreteremovalfirewoodm3863 I have a set of heavy duty forks to which I added a thumb (grapple). I used this on a circle driveway removal a few years ago. I just slipped the forks under the concrete and picked it up. It broke in small enough chunks that I could pick up most of them and put them in the dump trailer. The few that didn't break up small enough I raised one edge up a few feet and dropped it on a rock. No breaker required.

Curious on cost?

Jason, why do you prefer loading in chunks than hammered down to pieces? Also I say 3k. Machine wear and tear?

@oxconcreteremovalfirewoodm3863

Adan yes wear and tear is expensive. Track replacement, window replacement, hydraulic pumps on the machine, and Jackhammer maintenance and rebuild then you have Rent for your business to store your equipment,Wcb and Insurance. But most of all you need to make you money in the summer because you still have Overhead costs in the winter. As for the larger pieces I find it to be faster. You can fit more if the pieces are smaller. So if you hire a dump truck you want to get as much on as you can. Also depending on the square footage you might want to haul it away in as few trips as possible.

I would hire him due to his honesty and transparency. Fact is he took the job not knowing the work required due to either rebar or wire mesh. In that sense he would have had alot more work to do to remove the rebar. When you factor in that saw blades can run $200-$300 each then your not making so much.
