"This was a very enjoyable small concrete project for an air conditioning compressor pad. Rome did an excellent job with sizing, then fabricating and pouring the concrete. The resultant pad looks very good! Highly recommended contractor!"

"Latu Concrete did a great job for our project. Removed old driveway, graded dirt, prepped surface with gravel and rebar, poured new concrete and textured. All phases went great and the new driveway looks wonderful. Easy to work with. Would use again."

"Mark did an excellent job. He worked non-stop to get the job done in less time and a lower cost than expected. Mark is very personable - and he loved our dogs! It's too bad we don't have any more concrete work coming up. I would rehire Mark in a minute!"

"John John Concrete did a fantastic job, was responsive, from first quote to completion of project was about 2 weeks. They were incredibly fast. Price was so much better than any quotes I got from other contractors, I didn’t even have to negotiate. Will be using them again on our next concrete project. Highly recommend."

"Corrected a uneven concrete walkway. Because of the height difference in my concrete walkway it was a dangerous tripping hazard. I am very happy with their work. I highly recommend them!"

"Boyd from Center Construction was very easy to communicate and work with through the entire process and kept me informed from start to finish. He removed our old patio and buit us a much larger concrete patio as well as a new walkway around the side of the house at a competitive price, and I intend on hiring him for any future concrete projects I need done."

"The men that did the work were professional, thorough and friendly. I would contract with this company with no reservations. My backyard was completely covered with concrete; with very little grass showing. They broke up the concrete and hauled it away. It's such an improvement."
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.
