$1,500 to remove and replace concrete steps -- fair price?

[Logan Allec]

Basic description of work: "Jackhammer and haul away concrete landing approximately 9' x 4'.  Form and pour new 2500 psi concrete with broom finish".  Picture of the steps is below.  These would all be removed and new concrete poured.  We're just talking about the 3-4 stairs and the concrete landing, nothing else.  Is $1,500 a fair price for this work?

If they are licensed, insured, and legitimate? Yes, that is probably a fair price.  That's going to be a couple guys all day plus material, tools, disposal and hauling... and let them make a few dollars so they can stay in business.

Fair enough.  Thanks, @Charles Socci

@Logan Allec How much for a new larger deck/porch? Bail the concrete redo perhaps. Good luck!

[Russell Brazil]

That price seems about right

[Michael Clanton]

I agree with the others, this is a reasonable price for the work.

@Matt R., good question, but it's not worth it for this particular building.  I'm only replacing the steps due to insurance company demands.

The price seems fair but always get multiple (3) quotes.  You don't have to take the lowest bid either.  

I would add fiber mesh to the concrete mix.  This makes it stronger and helps with less cracking.

 You don't need 3 bids for that small project, just know how much you are willing to pay.

@Logan Allec That's a good price. Specially with the supply/demand contractors are coming along. Everybody seems to have work. If you have time, can we meet for coffee? I stay half of my week in SFV and I'd like to pick your brain how you did your MF, looking for something similar.
