"We are very pleased with Leo and his team. They replaced our old concrete walkway with a beautiful stone and brick walkway. They were so professional, talented and turn around time between the free quote and the project being done was about a month. Highly recommended"

"Hilario made a patio, fixed a concrete step, removed a concrete foundation wall, and hauled away a brush pile. He also cut down a tree for my neighbor. He has great communication and followup, he shared pictures as examples of his work and brought over sample patio stones to select. He let me know promptly when rain delayed the start date, and answered my questions about his plan. He moved a plant I wanted to keep, which showed good thoughtfulness. Excellent quality work, efficient completion. I'd work with him again."

"I thought garage Force did a phenomenal job on my two car garage floor. They had to Diamond grind for concrete and continued from there to add the coding. It took them two full days in the result was excellent. Great work ethic. He will go out of his way to make sure you're happy with the job. Highly recommend"

"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."

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.
