"Trenton and Miguel were very friendly, punctual and did a great job raising the back concrete steps and leveling the sidewalk. Since it rained, they are coming back to do the caulking."

"Have used this company twice and would highly recommend. First time they leveled a patio that had sloped towards the house which was causing water problems. That job was done above and beyond expectations. Second time they raised the front walk from the driveway to the front porch with excellent results. Absolutely no mess with incredible results. Very willing to work with you."

"Our 100+ year old house had some very real structural problems (some of which couldnâ t be totally evaluated until some walls were opened up) but Scott was very honest when presenting what needed to be done. He was accurate on the timeline, and he and his crew showed up every day. Communication was good - we always knew at what stage the project was at, and anytime there was something unexpected that came up, we always knew about it. I felt that the pricing was more than fair and I would definitely use Essence Construction in the future."

We are a new company looking to earn your buisness. We do everything from drive ways to side walks and stairs, to simple concrete repairs. We offer a free estimates.
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.
