"My wife and I had a tough time trying to find a concrete company that we could trust and that would take care of us like they said they would. I reached out to Mencia Concrete after seeing an advertisement on marketplace. I am so glad that I reached out. We are extremely pleased with not only Aldo’s communication but the promptness and wonderful job he and his team did on our sidewalks. We are so happy with them and would recommend Aldo for any concrete work in the future."

"I was disappointed that the concrete slab didnâ t raise all the way. I was warned by the salesman that this could happen. The people who did the work said to wait a few months and they will try again under warranty."

"Eric responded quickly to my posting. In short order he came out to my house to see the area and provided me with a proposal that I fund to be fair and a good bit lower than another quote that I had. He and the crew did an excellent job and I'm very happy with the work. I highly recommend them."

"Larry was prompt, knowledgeable and did what he said he would do. I was impressed with his attention to detail and precision. The concrete pavers patio he installed for me looks better than I expected and I came away impressed with his work. Often times contractors have not shown up when they said or been difficult to return calls. Larry showed up when he said he would and was very responsive. I would hire him again for sure."

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.
