"The service was great! Kent met with me prior to discuss exactly what was needed. He was realistic with his timeframe and cost. Come the day of service, the crew was very professional, they got the job done and left everything cleaner than it was before the job. Would highly recommend and will definitely use this company for any future concrete needs."

"J&E Masonry completed a stone wall repair as well as a small concrete entrance repair for me, both with outstanding effort in all aspects related. Time to come out after initial contact, view desired work and provide an estimate was remarkable. Start dates were provided and time frames for completion maintained. Work was meticulous and cleanup exceptional. Thank you Edgar and Micheal-recommend without reservation."

"Mike did an excellent job placing edging and mulch in my yard. He was so professional and quite meticulous about his work. His estimate was prompt, clearly explained, and quite reasonable. He responded to questions by email or phone without delay. His brother and son assist with the work so it was completed within several hours. I would definitely recommend his firm to others and possibly use him for more frequent needs."

"We hired BetterWay Excavating this fall to demolish and remove an old concrete pool deck on our property. The project also consisted of hauling away of all the concrete, and metal from the old pool deck, and then bringing in topsoil to fill in the area where the pool deck and pool was located, as well as putting down grass seed in that area. Scottâ s quote was the best priced out of several that we obtained. Scott did a very professional and thorough job on the project. He did a great job organizing the project, and went above and beyond even doing some additional work, which included removing the old pool filters, removing some tree/shrub roots that were near the pool deck, hand saw cutting some of the concrete that was near a wall, and near a building, etc. He also did a great job grading the entire area, and seeding with grass seed. Scott did the entire project in just two days, as promised. We would highly recommend BetterWay Excavating!"

"The owner, Mike, is quick to respond to emails or calls. Dillion and his work crew have been very pleasant and the yard looks great. All good!"
Figuring out how many bars you need isn’t a one-size-fits-all equation. A structural engineer or experienced concrete contractor will look at your slab’s thickness, the loads it must carry, and local code requirements, then run the numbers for you. That quick consultation protects your budget and keeps the finished slab safe, level, and up to code.
Match the metal to the job. For light, thin pours like a sidewalk, welded wire mesh often does the trick. Thicker slabs—driveways, garage floors, foundations—usually call for traditional steel bars. If your site sees salt, humidity, or coastal spray, spend the extra cash on galvanized or stainless steel to fend off rust and avoid future repairs. When in doubt, a concrete pro can confirm the best fit for your project and budget.
Stainless steel costs more up front, but the alloy can last 75 years or longer with little to no rust. That longevity means fewer repairs, less maintenance, and peace of mind for structures exposed to salt, moisture, or de-icing chemicals. If you’re pouring near the coast or in a humid climate, the extra dollars now can save you multiple replacements down the road.
An engineer will review the slab’s thickness, span, soil conditions, and expected loads, then specify bar size, spacing, and grade. Skipping that step or guessing can leave you with cracked concrete or a blown budget. For a modest consultation fee, a local engineer or contractor can do the math and hand you a rebar schedule that meets code and keeps your project on solid footing.
