If your driveway, sidewalk, or patio is sinking, one of the first questions you’ll ask is:
“How much is this going to cost me?”
The good news is that concrete leveling is significantly more affordable than replacement, but pricing can vary depending on several factors.
In this guide, we’ll break down:
Concrete leveling in Houston typically costs $5 to $15 per square foot, with most homeowners paying between $800 and $3,500 per project.
Here’s a realistic breakdown:
Project Type Average Cost
Small sidewalk repair $600 - $1,200
Driveway leveling $1,500 - $3,500
Patio repair $800 - $2,500
Garage floor $1,000 - $3,000
These prices depend on size, damage, and method used.
Method Cost per Sq Ft
Mudjacking $5 - $10
Polyurethane Foam $8 - $15
