Question 1

How much does a concrete driveway cost in Moncton NB in 2026?

Accepted Answer

A concrete driveway in Moncton typically costs between $4,500 and $9,000 for a standard two-car driveway in 2026, with the final price depending on size, finish type, site conditions, and whether the old driveway needs to be removed first.

For a broom-finish concrete driveway — the most common and durable choice — expect to pay $8–$15 per square foot fully installed in the Moncton area. A standard two-car driveway runs 400–600 square feet, so the total installed cost lands in the $4,000–$8,000

Question 2

What is the average cost per square foot to pour a concrete driveway in New Brunswick?

Accepted Answer

The average cost to pour a concrete driveway in New Brunswick is $8–$15 per square foot fully installed for a standard broom finish, which works out to $4,000–$9,000 for a typical two-car driveway.

That per-square-foot price includes labour, a standard air-entrained ready-mix concrete, gravel base preparation, wire mesh or rebar reinforcement, forming, finishing, and control joint cutting. What it typically does not include is removal of an existing driveway ($2–$5/sq ft extra) or premium finis

Question 3

How much does stamped concrete cost compared to regular concrete in NB?

Accepted Answer

Stamped concrete costs roughly 50–100% more than plain broom-finish concrete in New Brunswick. Broom-finish runs $8–$15 per square foot installed; stamped concrete runs $12–$20 per square foot for most residential projects.

The price gap exists because stamped concrete requires specialized tools (pattern stamps, texture rollers), integral colour or colour hardener, a release agent to prevent stamps from sticking, and significantly more skilled labour. The stamping window — the time between when

Question 4

What is the price to pour a new concrete patio in Fredericton?

Accepted Answer

A new concrete patio in Fredericton costs between $2,500 and $7,000 for most residential projects, with the range reflecting differences in size, finish choice, and site conditions. On a per-square-foot basis, expect $10–$18 for a standard broom finish and $12–$20 for a stamped or decorative finish.

A 200-square-foot patio (roughly 14 x 14 feet) with a broom finish and proper base preparation lands in the $2,500–$3,500 range. A 400-square-foot patio (20 x 20 feet) with a decorative stamped fini

Question 5

How much does foundation repair cost in New Brunswick?

Accepted Answer

Foundation repair costs in New Brunswick range from $500 for a simple crack injection to $25,000 or more for major structural repairs or full exterior waterproofing on one wall. The price varies enormously based on the type of damage, the repair method, and how far the problem has progressed.

Question 6

What is the cost to replace a basement floor in Saint John NB?

Accepted Answer

Replacing a basement floor in Saint John typically costs $8–$14 per square foot fully installed, putting a 600-square-foot basement floor replacement in the $4,800–$8,400 range. For a full 800–1,000 square foot basement, budget $6,500–$14,000 depending on conditions encountered.

That price range covers breaking out the old slab with a jackhammer, hauling away the debris, re-grading and compacting the gravel sub-base, pouring a new 4-inch reinforced concrete slab, and basic finishing. What can p

Question 7

How much does a concrete retaining wall cost per linear foot in New Brunswick?

Accepted Answer

A poured concrete retaining wall in New Brunswick costs $25–$50 per linear foot per foot of wall height, so a 3-foot-tall wall running 30 linear feet would cost roughly $2,250–$4,500. Concrete block (CMU) walls run $20–$40 per linear foot per foot of height. For walls over 4 feet requiring engineering, expect $40–$75 per linear foot per foot of height, inclusive of engineered drawings.

To make that more concrete: a typical residential retaining wall that holds back a 3-foot grade change and run

Question 8

What is the average cost of a new residential foundation in NB?

Accepted Answer

A new full poured concrete basement foundation for a residential home in New Brunswick costs $15,000–$40,000 depending on the size of the footprint, depth, soil conditions, and regional location.

This price covers excavation, forming and pouring the footings and foundation walls, waterproofing membrane on the exterior, weeping tile installation, backfill, and rough window we

Question 9

How much does concrete sidewalk replacement cost in Dieppe NB?

Accepted Answer

Replacing a concrete sidewalk in Dieppe costs $8–$12 per square foot fully installed for a standard broom-finish walk, putting a typical front walkway (50–100 sq ft) in the $600–$1,200 range. A longer property-side walk or driveway apron walk of 150–200 square feet runs $1,500–$2,500.

Question 10

What is the price of ready-mix concrete per cubic yard in New Brunswick?

Accepted Answer

Ready-mix concrete in New Brunswick is priced between $180 and $260 per cubic yard delivered in 2025–2026, depending on the mix specification, delivery distance, and order volume. Standard 25 MPa (3,500 PSI) mix runs $180–$220 per yard, while air-entrained exterior-grade mix (25–32 MPa) costs $190–$240 per yard.

Air-entrained mix costs $10–$20 more per yard than standard mix, but it is mandatory for any concrete exposed to NB's freeze-thaw cycles — driveways, patios, walkways, steps, porches, a

Question 11

How much does it cost to seal a concrete driveway in NB?

Accepted Answer

Professional concrete driveway sealing in New Brunswick costs $1–$3 per square foot, putting a typical two-car driveway (400–600 sq ft) at $400–$1,800 depending on the sealer type and prep work required. DIY sealing with materials from a NB building supply store costs $150–$400 in materials for the same driveway.

The type of sealer makes a significant difference in both price and performance. A penetrating silane/siloxane sealer is the best choice for NB driveways — it soaks into the concrete s

Question 12

What is the cost to pour new front steps in Moncton?

Accepted Answer

New concrete front steps in Moncton cost $1,500–$4,000 for a typical 3-to-5-step configuration with a landing, with most residential projects landing in the $1,800–$3,000 range. Larger or more elaborate entry porches with decorative finishes can push $5,000–$8,000.

The wide price range reflects real differences in scope. A simple 3-step stoop leading to a side door with a small landing is at the lower end. A wide, sweeping 5-step entry with a 6-foot-wide landing, integral colour, and a broom te

Question 13

How much does epoxy garage floor coating cost in New Brunswick?

Accepted Answer

Professional epoxy garage floor coating in New Brunswick costs $4–$8 per square foot installed, putting a standard two-car garage (400–500 sq ft) in the $1,600–$4,000 range. DIY epoxy kits available at NB hardware stores cost $150–$400 in materials for the same area — but the results and longevity differ considerably.

Professional coating systems use commercial-grade two-part epoxy or, increasingly, polyaspartic coatings that are more durable and cure faster. The labour-intensive part is surfac

Question 14

What is the price difference between mudjacking and poly levelling in NB?

Accepted Answer

Mudjacking costs $3–$6 per square foot in New Brunswick, while poly levelling (foam injection) runs $5–$10 per square foot — meaning poly levelling is roughly 50–80% more expensive per square foot for similar scope. Both methods lift settled concrete slabs without full replacement, but they differ in material, longevity, and application.

Mudjacking (also called slab jacking or grout pumping) works by drilling 1.5–2-inch holes through the settled slab and pumping a slurry of cement, soil, and wa

Question 15

How much should I budget for a concrete porch replacement in Fredericton?

Accepted Answer

Budget $2,000–$6,000 for a concrete porch replacement in Fredericton for a typical residential front porch. On a per-square-foot basis, a poured concrete porch runs $15–$30 per square foot fully installed — more than a flat driveway or patio because of the height, forming complexity, and structural considerations involved.

A 6 x 10-foot entry porch with a set of 3 steps is in the $2,500–$4,500 range with a broom finish. Add decorative stamped concrete, integral colour, or an elaborate multi-lev

Question 16

What is the cost of foundation waterproofing in New Brunswick?

Accepted Answer

Foundation waterproofing in New Brunswick costs $5,000–$15,000 per exterior wall for a full exterior excavation and membrane system, or $5,000–$15,000 for a full interior perimeter drainage system with sump pump. Smaller crack injection repairs run $500–$1,500 per crack for targeted fixes.

The right approach depends entirely on the type and severity of the water problem — and that diagnosis should come from a professional inspection, not a guess. The three main approaches are:

Question 17

How much does exposed aggregate concrete cost per square foot in NB?

Accepted Answer

Exposed aggregate concrete costs $10–$16 per square foot fully installed in New Brunswick, compared to $8–$15 per square foot for standard broom-finish concrete. The premium reflects the extra labour involved in washing and exposing the aggregate surface before the concrete fully cures.

For a 400-square-foot driveway, exposed aggregate runs $4,000–$6,400 versus $3,200–$6,000 for broom finish — a difference of $400–$1,500 for the same area depending on aggregate choice and the complexity of the

Accepted Answer

Pouring a new garage floor slab in Riverview costs $3,000–$5,000 for a standard two-car garage (400–500 square feet), or $6–$10 per square foot fully installed. A single-car garage floor (200–250 sq ft) runs $1,500–$2,500.

That price includes gravel base preparation (typically 6 inches of compacted granular fill), vapour barrier, wire mesh or rebar reinforcement, a 4-inch air-entrained concrete slab, control joints, and a broom finish. If the garage is on an existing foundation and the old floo

Question 19

How much does concrete curbing cost per foot in New Brunswick?

Accepted Answer

Landscape concrete curbing in New Brunswick costs $6–$12 per linear foot installed, with most residential projects in the 50–150 linear foot range landing between $600 and $1,500. Larger commercial or estate projects with extensive curbing may negotiate lower unit pricing at volume.

This price covers machine-extruded concrete curbing — the most common type for residential landscape edging in NB. A curbing machine extrudes a continuous bead of concrete into a formed shape (mow curb, slant, barri

Question 20

What is the total cost to remove and replace an old concrete driveway in Saint John?

Accepted Answer

The total cost to remove and replace an old concrete driveway in Saint John ranges from $6,000 to $14,000 for a standard two-car driveway, combining removal, disposal, base preparation, and new concrete installation. Breaking it down: removal and disposal runs $2–$5 per square foot, and new concrete installation runs $8–$15 per square foot, so a 500-square-foot driveway totals $10–$20 per square foot all-in, or $5,000–$10,000.

Don't overlook the demolition cost. Old concrete doesn't just disapp

Question 21

How much does a concrete driveway cost in Saint John NB?

Accepted Answer

Saint John's market reflects NB-average pricing -- roughly 10-20% below the national Canadian average -- but costs vary significantly based on project specifics. The single largest variables are the existing driveway condition, site access, and the concrete specification require

Question 22

What is the cost to pour a concrete pad for an above-ground pool in NB?

Accepted Answer

A concrete pad for a typical above-ground pool in New Brunswick costs $1,500-$4,000 fully installed, depending on the size of the pool, site preparation required, and whether you are in Moncton, Fredericton, Saint John, or a rural area.

Above-ground pool pads are a popular concrete application across NB, and sizing them correctly is the first step. A standard round above-ground pool (15-18 feet in diameter) needs a pad that extends 1-2 feet beyond the pool edge -- so a 15-foot pool needs an app

Question 23

How much does it cost to jack up a sunken concrete slab in Moncton?

Accepted Answer

Concrete slab lifting (mudjacking or polyurethane foam injection) in Moncton typically costs $500-$2,500 depending on the size of the sunken area, the method used, and how many injection points are required -- significantly less than slab replacement, which runs $10-$18 per square foot.

Sunken concrete slabs are common throughout Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview due to our Maritime soil conditions. The clay-heavy soils in much of Greater Moncton are prone to settling and compaction under concrete
