Default Is this a fair charge on a new concrete floor for my garage ?

I had a contractor come out and he said he pours 3750 # rated
Concrete , 4" thick , directly over the sand which i currently have as
a floor . He said there are stones mixed in with the concrete about
the size of a quarter dollar. Ive seen his finished work and it looks
alright. The garage will contain 2 average size cars and about another
2000 lbs. of misc. tools, containers, etc...spread out evenly in the
back of the garage. For my 24'x26' garage, he is wanting to charge
me $2500 total which includes his people totally removing all of my
things i currently have on the floor (and theres quite abit). Does
this sound like a reasonable charge ? It seems reasonable to me.
Thanks.


Sounds cheap,maybe too cheap

I got the job done. They gently sloped it toward the overhead doors.
Smoothed it good. They had 4 guys on it for 6 hours straight. Then
they came back and cut a couple of lines in it. The place is in
northern Florida and nobody said they use stones underneath ; one guy
said he would put some wire mesh underneath. They also unloaded alot
of stuff from the garage AND put the stuff back in . Im happy.
They guys were not from Mexico, but from Hondurus . Thanks, Dave.
P.S. Dont pay any attention to Ken...he just doesnt like me
challenging his ludicrous faith in atheism which he cant defend.
