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 Nevada average $64,150 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 $11,206 quote into a $14,007 invoice, so ask about each one before signing.
  • Why state matters more than people expect. Materials ship at national prices; crews do not move. Nevada sits above the national mean by 6.8%, which lands on 55% of the job and moves the total by $406.
  • 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.

6 foundation piers in Nevada

$11,206 is the typical figure, and bids on the same scope normally land between $6,225 and $18,676. That is 6 piers at $1,868 each.

Why this is not the national number

The same job at the U.S. average comes to $10,800 — this one is $406 more.

Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers in Nevada average $64,150 a year against a U.S. mean of $60,050, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS release for May 2025, SOC 47-2051. That is about $31 an hour, a factor of 1.068.

Labour is 55% of this job and material is the other 45%. Only the labour half is scaled by state.

$6,163 of labour, $5,043 of material.

Push piers or helical piers

Push piers are driven using the weight of the house itself, so they suit heavier structures and reach deeper. Helical piers screw in and can be torque-tested as they go, which suits lighter structures and gives a measurable capacity.

Cost per pier is broadly similar. The choice is a soils and structure question, and a contractor who only ever installs one type will always recommend that one.

What is not in this figure

Drainage correction, interior crack and drywall repair after any lift, engineering reports, and putting the landscaping back. On a house with a finished basement the interior repair alone can rival the pier work.

Get an engineer, not just a contractor

A few hundred dollars for an independent structural engineer's report buys a scope that is not written by the company selling the work. On a job in this price range it is the cheapest risk reduction available, and it also gives you something to price three bids against.

Reading a real bid against this

Three quotes on the same scope should cluster. One well under $6,225 usually has something left out of it; one well over $18,676 is a harder job than average, or a crew pricing to stay away.
