Do you know how thick the current slab is? Will they endanger the surrounding foundation or footing as they break the slab? Can they fit a machine in there or will it be done with jack hammers? How thick of a slab will you want? Will they have to dig more out and will that be done by hand? Hand work could turn this into a two day job.

My guess is this would be like breaking a sidewalk or the concrete we had removed (and repoured) in our alley out back.

The sidewalk out front is 4″ thick and was $10 per sq foot in 2009. The alley out back is 6″ thick over gravel and wire and was 21 a square foot 2 years ago. The initial quote for the alley was more, like 29 a square foot, but three of us got together and he was able to do it all in a day, breaking it and digging consecutive houses out at one time and it brought the price down.

I really cannot tell you more than that.
