Add-ons priced for Hawaii
Extras are quoted nationally and then scaled to Hawaii by the average of the local wage index (1.69) and goods index (1.12), a factor of 1.40. Tick any of them in the estimator above to add them to your total. Treat these as planning figures: an add-on touches different trades than the main job, so the scaling is an approximation.

Hawaii against its neighbors
Hawaii ranks 1 of 51 (the 50 states plus DC) for stamped concrete, where 1 is the most expensive. The costliest is Hawaii at $7,800 and the cheapest Arkansas at $4,850, both for 400 sq ft at the midpoint. Hawaii sits at $7,800. The five states closest by workforce center are listed below.

Hawaii seasons and stamped concrete
Season matters for stamped concrete. For each Hawaii metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for pouring concrete.
Honolulu has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Hawaii at 12 months; Kahului has the shortest at 10 (October through July). Rainfall runs from 16 inches a year in Kahului to 16 inches in Honolulu.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.
| Metro | Jan avg low °F | Jul avg high °F | Precip (in/yr) | Comfortable months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honolulu | 67 | 88 | 16 | 12: all year |
| Kahului | 64 | 89 | 16 | 10: October through July |
Which Hawaii city is cheapest for stamped concrete?
1 of the 2 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $7,800, and the top-to-bottom gap is 4%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.
| Metro | Range (400 sq ft) | Midpoint | vs. state |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kahului, HI | $4,600 – $11,700 | $8,150 | +4% |
| Honolulu, HI | $4,450 – $11,200 | $7,850 | level |
Stamped concrete: what moves the price in Hawaii
Pattern and color
Basic to average coloring runs $8-$19 per sq ft. A 2-car stamped driveway runs $12-$18 per sq ft (HomeGuide); Estimators.us puts decorative slabs at $15-$30.
Specialist labor
Stamping has to be done before the concrete sets, so crews arrive in larger teams and charge for it.
Sealing and vapor barrier
Sealer is usually quoted separately; vapor barrier material is $0.20-$1.50 per sq ft depending on thickness (HomeGuide).
Not included
These prices don't include site prep that depends on the project: demolition, grading, or a thicker base.

What cement masons and concrete finishers and the other trades earn in Hawaii
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 1.69 for Hawaii.
For cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051, weighted 60%) the local median is $46.10 an hour, which is 68% above the national $27.41. The middle half of them earn between $32.36 and $47.69 an hour. BLS counts 650 of them working in the state, 10.4 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 13.3), so the local bench is thinner than average.
Construction laborers (47-2061), 30% of the weighting: a median of $37.07 an hour, 64% above the US median of $22.66. The middle half of them earn between $25.13 and $42.19 an hour. About 4,580 work in the state. That is 73.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 70.5 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
For operating engineers and other construction equipment operators (47-2073, weighted 10%) the local median is $55.70 an hour, which is 94% above the national $28.78. The middle half of them earn between $35.19 and $58.55 an hour. BLS counts 2,380 of them working in the state, 37.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 30.7), so the local bench is deeper than average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for cement masons and concrete finishers ($47.69 an hour) would add about $95 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($32.36) would take off about $810. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 627,530 jobs across Hawaii (May 2025), which is 0.4% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cement masons and concrete finishers (47-2051) | 60% | $32.36 | $46.10 | $47.69 | $27.41 | 1.68 | state |
