"AC Paving re-did my residential driveway today. My driveway can hold up to 15 vehicles. The crew arrived on time and did a magnificent job. The crew was very efficient and paid attention to detail. I was so pleased that I gave the entire 6 person crew a tip. I would highly recommend AC Paving for your resurfacing needs."

"We were extremely happy with the process from beginning to end. We had several other companies come out and we saw a difference right away with the inspector's approach and knowledge. Since we've never done this type of project before we didn't know what to expect from the crew during the installation. The foreman showed up on time as scheduled and was very considerate of our situation. They helped me cover up some of our stored items to protect it from dust installed a full drain system around the perimeter or our basement and made it look easy to jack hammer and haul out so much concrete and debris. Within 3 days our basement was fully restored and dry again. Since then we've had several heavy rain storms and we couldn't be happier with how everything works just like the inspector originally showed us. Definitely a 5 star operation and relieved when I didn't get a really high price at first then lower prices each time I said I'd think about it. Basement Systems gave us a competitive price up front and we didn't have to listen to another story of how he would give me some magical deal only if I gave them a deposit for the job at that very moment. Spending almost $8500 for a home repair was a huge deal for us and we appreciate the other reviews we read on Home Advisor, Thanks!!"

"Started off a day late but was informed in advance. Work moved steady, but paused waiting for the concrete supplier; again was informed so we could adjust the schedule. During design of the walks, we had full say and before each step in the prep and shaping, we had approvals. Before the pour, we made a design change without problems. All of this approval control made for an excellent set of walks. The driveway required edging the overgrown grass and dirt/water cleaning before the sealing."

"Provided a quote that was very competitive with another firm for some concrete and fence work we needed to keep rats out of our backyard. We ended up going with the other firm who was able to start sooner. I was very impressed with the estimator and his knowledge and professionalism, and the quote was very thorough. Would definitely contact them again for future work.

"Very well!! Kyle Hodges understood exactly what I wanted, and he and his team took out the unsightly cement walkway, and replaced it with a beautiful, wide, curving quartzite walkway at the front of the house and matching step-stones leading around, plus two wrought iron railings on the front porch. His team took about 6 work-days in August 2016 to complete the project (the railings were added later). The result is an elegant approach to my house that combines craft with art."

"Austin Wells handled our sinking concrete pad and cracks near my garage. He explained everything, neat, and very professional. My wife and I appreciated how he wore a uniform and conducted himself in as an expert in his field. I would definitely call JES again, in particular, Austin Wells to handle any other concrete leveling issues."

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.
