"Great job by Joe and his sons from Pellicore Concrete. They did a great job for me with a concrete patio at the back of my house. Completed the job in a short period of time without rushing. Very satisfied, Joe was very helpful and I would not hesitate to use them again in the future."

"Overall, I'm satisfied with the service, quality, and price. I had scheduled the driveway and concrete work over a month ahead of time. Unfortunately, due to an abundance of rain, TMC was backed up in their work and needed to complete the job several weeks after the approximate date they originally communicated. I didn't have a problem with this, but I would prefer that they sent me an email or gave a phone call to let me know rather than me having to call them to find out why there was a delay. After that point, communication improved and I was given advanced notice of the exact date of work. The work was completed quickly and I am very satisfied with the look of the new driveway and concrete. I'm also satisfied with the quality of the grading that was done to minimize puddling on the driveway (a major reason I had the driveway replaced in the first place). Unfortunately, the work crew forgot to put up caution tape after the job was done as we agreed to, but they were apologetic and offered to come back later that day to do it. The price of the service was competitive with other quotations that I had received for the work."

"Really pleased with Reformed Concrete. The sales process is slightly informal, but Zach was very prompt in getting me all the info I needed, answered all my questions, and was able to fit in the job I needed done on short notice. Zach was very knowledgeable, and even offered some ideas for other parts of my remodel that iâ ll be using. He followed up a few days later to make sure we were happy with the work. Would definitely recommend hiring this company."

"I called The Driveway Lady to get a quote and ideas on how to solve a difficult problem with my concrete porch. My home was built in the late 1800s and has a large raised concrete wrap around porch surrounded by beautiful stone walls. Replacement would be prohibitive, but there were some substantial cracks and pitting. It was like walking on an ocean reef, it was so rough, and the repairs made to the cracks wouldn’t hold, but Jean determined that it was otherwise secure with no water penetration below. She suggested they repair the cracks with hydraulic cement and then coat the entire surface with Miracote to seal both the cracks and smooth the surface and protect from future pitting. They worked with me to get the color right when I didn’t like the initial application. Jean stands by her work and does an outstanding job. The people she has working for her are also courteous, pleasant and easy to work with. I can’t recommend her and her team enough."

"They did a wonderful job for us, and even put in some plants we had bought that was not part of the original deal. We are having them come back next week to do some more work for us. They are great to work with and really care about their customers."

"Erick and the CFV crew are top-notch professionals! From the initial interaction with Erick during the quote through the actual construction, we always were kept informed of our project status and the next steps. Erick communicated extremely well to update us on changes as needed. The crew for the actual job was incredibly professional and proficient. I cannot recommend CFV Contacting enough for your concrete needs!"

"I recently hired Victor and his crew from Berks Concrete to install a new concrete pad for my pool equipment. From start to finish, Victor did an amazing job at a very reasonable price. They were courteous and always on time. I couldn’t be happier with how the work came out. I would not hesitate to hire Berks Concrete for any hardscaping project."
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.
