"They were efficent and completed the work in one day. They were clean and left no mess, covered the floors so they remained clean. One of the workmen fixed by door to the garage with a a specail screw so it does not stick any loner when opening and closing the door. Also told me how to tighten my screen door so it will not sag in the future. Nice bonus.

"During a storm, a tree fell across our driveway. Levi gave us a quote and removed the tree on the same day. He and his team were fast, competent and courteous and the yard was completely and carefully cleaned up after the removal as well as the stump being left and trimmed so we could decorate it. Thanks Moore & Sons Concrete Excavation!"

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.
