You get what you pay for but shouldn’t have to overpay either. As a reference point, our prices start at:
Driveway and Sidewalks - $100
Home Exterior and Driveway or Sidewalk Package - $250
Pool Deck and Enclosure - $200-250
Flat Work or Larger Jobs - $.10 per sq. ft.
They may also have a bit of work lined up ahead of you because there is a demand for their service. Because of this, they may not be able to do the work the next day, but they will be worth the wait.
