"Big Tex was very professional from the first time we met. Very easy to get in touch with. The work was absolutely beautiful. Before Big Tex complete my driveway and walkway's I never would have thought I would say concrete is beautiful. The finishing touches made the difference."

"I hired Sullivent Services back in 2014 and 2017. 2 phases. The first was to expand the concrete patio in my backyard. That went well. I hired them back in 2017 to deck the patio and that also went very well. These guys know what they are doing and they do a good job."

"Had a driveway and a detached garage slab poured at the same time. JEC coordinated both without a hiccup. The crew worked fast without sacrificing quality and both slabs came out looking excellent. Honest pricing and great communication throughout. Highly recommend."

Customers say: Terrific value
"He contacted me immediately , the dates worked , although he contacted me a week prior to let me know he was ready to start, started the next day. finished a second day - beat the heavy rains. I had concrete patio installed,tried to get me to add a texture , but I kinda knew what I wanted and he did it perfectly. He seems very hard working, nice guy. Price was certainly in my budget. speaks ok English -- but I was glad he has a worker who was able to communicate clearly what I wanted. Because it was a simple task - there was no written contract so hopefully I won't have any issues down the line. I'm not very experienced in dealing w/ contractor's - but I'm very pleased with the work done and recommend him fully,"

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.
