"Masonry by Tommy listened to our needs and offered ideas to make it better. He offers the best quality work. The workers are very professionals, polite, and neat. Their attention to detail and the appearance of their finished work is the best we have ever seen. In repointing old brick and laying concrete slabs, they matched the color of our 20-year-old masonry. I would highly recommend Tommy to everyone!"

"We did our due diligence in researching and interviewing several contractors. We knew we had a fairly involved project and didn’t want to cut corners. We needed stairs replaced (2 sets actually w/a complete remodel), a retaining wall, concrete flower boxes redo, a weird concrete pad/stoop removed, AND a complete reinstall of our very ugly, distressed driveway. After explaining what we envisioned only one guy stood out head & shoulders above the rest. Ryan showed extreme professionalism, offered superior customer service from start to finish, and understood our vision completely! He gave us expert advice, showed us some options we hadn’t even thought of, and delivered everything he said he would. We had a pretty tight timeframe, but even with two crappy days of weather he met our requested deadline to the minute! We’ve already discussed future jobs and given two referrals. When you find a good contractor it’s like hitting the lottery. His contract was broken down into options w/costs clearly stated. His entire team was awesome as well! Ryan texted us before arrival each day, his crew arrived on time and worked like Trojans the entire job. Even in the rain! Ryan answered every question we had w/o hesitation. I’ve dealt w/a lot of contractors in my 30 years of owning properties in multiple states and United Paving & Masonry LLC is in the top three on my list. I don’t believe anyone else could have given us what we wanted. Granted, they may not have been the cheapest option, but having zero stress and the beautiful results was worth every single dollar!"

"Prior to these guys saving our property, we foolishly hired an under-qualified contractor to install a large patio and retaining wall system. It turned out to be a never ending nightmare from the start that left us with pooling water everywhere, mud leaking thru walls and stairs that were falling apart. We hired Classical Pavers to hopefully resolve all our issues, and boy did they deliver. These guys are true landscape engineers! They uprooted the previously installed pavers, flawlessly re-pitched and graded the base, planned for all the possible drainige issues that might come up, and completely cleaned the pavers and property of any remnants of their work. I could not be happier with the professionalism of every level of their services. I would absolutely recommend them, and only use them for any and all future projects."

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.
