"Our project involved removing a 6-year application of an 'amateurish' job with epoxy paint on our large garage floor. Then, to properly prepare the surface for the new application (as that was not done the first time!). And what a difference!!! Even though we started out with a small glitch due to our personal color selection, everything worked out and we are extremely pleased. The installers were professional, knowledgeable and took great care to ensure we were happy with the finished project. We store a show car in this garage and it is very important to us that the surroundings compliment the vehicle! Couldn't have asked for anything better. I just wish this application could be used on surfaces other than concrete! Would love to have the same look elsewhere. I highly recommend Guardian Garage Floors for your project and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again!!!"

"One complaint. The clean up was not very good. I had to ask that they remove large pieces of concrete that were in flower beds. Also, the new concrete looks messy and I canâ t remove the grate for clean out"

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.
