Notes

Where the number comes from. The national price for foundation pier installation is $1,800 per pier — foundation pier pricing published for 2026, $1,000–$3,000 per pier installed. Labor is about 55% of that. Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers in Missouri average $64,140 a year against a U.S. mean of $60,050 — a factor of 1.068 — so the labor half is scaled by that and the material half is not.
What is in the price: excavation at each location, the pier and bracket, driving or screwing to load-bearing strata, lifting or stabilising, backfill and cleanup.
What is not: drainage correction, interior crack and drywall repair after the lift, engineering reports, and any landscaping put back. These are the lines that turn a $18,674 quote into a $23,343 invoice, so ask about each one before signing.
Why state matters more than people expect. Materials ship at national prices; crews do not move. Missouri sits above the national mean by 6.8%, which lands on 55% of the job and moves the total by $674.
Use this as a bid check, not a quote. It prices an average job in an average condition. Difficult access, the state of what is being replaced, the season, and a crew booked out three months all move the real number, and none of them are in a per-unit average.
