"They were the best. I couldn’t be more pleased. Steward sold me the job, and was there for every single phase of the job. He kept in touch with me and explained everything that was going on before I even asked. An extreme professional he was and so were the workers. I would highly recommend them."

"Very pleased with the work done by DPS General Contractor. Danny was very honest about what I needed to fix the problem and did not take advantage of my lack of knowledge about identifying actual foundation issues. He and his assistant did an excellent job. It was a pleasure dealing with an honest, efficient courteous and professional contractor. Thank DPS."

"I recently hired Gulf Coast Specialty Coatings to strip the old failing epoxy off my patio and install a new professional-grade coating and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They handled everything the right way from start to finish. Properly grinding and removing the old coating instead of just going over the top of it, prepping the concrete correctly, and installing a high-quality epoxy system that looks great and feels extremely durable. The finished floor came out clean, smooth, and very professional. It’s tough enough that I can move patio furniture around without worrying about scratching or peeling, which was my biggest concern. You can tell they use commercial grade materials and not the cheap DIY stuff. Their crew showed up on time, communicated well, kept the area clean, and did exactly what they said they would do. As a contractor myself, I pay attention to workmanship and these guys do solid, professional work."

"Tim Branch is very professional. Finished the work in a timely manner."
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.
