"Romualdo fixed our basement concrete floor to make it even and prepare it for vinyl flooring installation. His services were reasonably priced and he took the time to advise us on the different alternatives that we had to get the job done. He was kind and did an excellent job."

"Very professional! The two people that did the concrete raising were very helpful. Big shout out to Brian and Austin out of the Bristow location. Pricy, but foundation work is sometimes unavoidable."

"Dani, Jose, and the Concreto Plus crew did really nice work. I am very pleased with my new concrete driveway. Concreto Plus gave me an initial estimate and worked with me throughout the process to make sure things went smoothly. They also worked well with the needed county inspectors to ensure the new driveway was in compliance with local regulations."

"I live in a 50 community in Frederick. After getting 3 estimates, I chose Pikazos Landscaping to expand my driveway (100 sq ft.). Rigo was Fantastic to work with (small language difficulty.) He came out to estimate, arrived on time on the chosen day, returned to finish. Payment was simple. Quality of the work, the concrete, the workmen -5 Stars. I’d recommend them."

"m in process of selling my house and I got dinged for what I originally thought were minor foundation cracks. I decided to have multiple companies come in and take a look at the issue. Company A came out and decided I needed a tier system costing 15K. I almost had a coronary. There were no signs that I had a major foundation issue so I found this a bit suspect. Next, I had Greg from NV Waterproofing come out do a visual inspection and take some measurements using his laser and level. In the end he told me I had normal settlement and to do nothing. Not even fill it b/c that way you can monitor it over time. I offered to pay them him for his time and he respectfully declined. I wish I had some work for him but I guess leaving a glowing review is the next best thing. I cant speak highly enough of Greg and NV. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy knowing their are good, honest business still out there."

"We had a good experience with Always Waterproofing and Concrete. The lady who works in the office was so helpful and friendly over the phone too."
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.
