"Leo of M&L Landscaping and Construction took a look at the job and knew it wasn’t going to be easy. He quoted and we ultimately agreed to go forward. I provided a down payment and about a week later he and his team arrived on site, manually excavated holes to pour concrete piers and poured the concrete. After cure time, his team installed Lally columns and necessary supporting beams and the job was done. Leo’s team stayed on task and were very committed to finishing the job professionally. Great, hard-working team and very professional."

"I hired Jimmy to pour a concrete slab for a small building in my yard. I am someone who cares a great deal about workmanship and quality, so I was very pleased that he listened carefully and asked me a lot of questions before starting work to find out exactly what I wanted. There was some challenge to the task because it had to be placed on a slope. Jimmy and his helper worked very hard and got the job done even more quickly than I expected, and the final product exceeded my expectations."

"We meet with Myles Garage Force Northshore and told him what we wanted. He explained the whole process in detail. We had a two car garage and he also did a piece in our mudroom! The workers did a great job and did exactly what Myles stated to us! The floor looks amazing and came out beautiful. We will definitely use them again for our 3 car garage when we are ready! The new product is warranty for life unlike the competitors and their product is far more advanced with a rubber base!!"

"Yovani was great to work with. Came right out for the estimate. Started and finished the work quickly. Great attention to detail. Excellent clean up. They replaced an old brick walk with pavers and dug a dry well. This was not just cosmetic but to address drainage problems. He has an artistâ s eye and the walkway came out beautifully."

"We engaged UAM to fix up a gravel driveway in front of the house. The original gravel had become overgrown with weeds and was uneven. Usiel proposed removing and replacing the gravel and the top layer of stone pack underneath. We agreed on a price, which was very fair. The crew showed up at the agreed time and did a great job, even removing weeds from a nearby brick path at no extra cost. I was impressed with the amount of equipment UAM brought for a relatively small job. When completed, the crew cleaned up professionally; You would never know that they'd been there. We will definitely get in touch with Usiel for future landscaping needs and have no hesitation in recommending UAM for the quality of its work and cleanup afterwards."

"George and his family crew were outstanding. They were on time and hard workers. Replaced front steps, removing old limestone caps, installed granite caps, mosaic of natural stones, and brick veneer to steps. Removed damaged concrete walkway and replaced with mosaic of natural stones lined with granite. Added new railings to bottom steps. Replaced limestone caps on retaining wall with granite caps and re-stuccoed wall. Repaired chimney. We have a beautiful front entry now that is safer and up to code and has received many positive comments. Would definitely hire again."

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.
