Customers say: Terrific value
"I had a new concrete floor poured in my basement (was dirt) and had a trap door and stairs built to the inside of my house. I was absolutely AMAZED at the quality of work! I am so pleased with the work I received that I plan to have a concrete driveway, carport, walk-way and back yard patio poured. And I don't want anyone else doing this work but Firebird! Dustin & Kelly you're the best!"

"Trenton and Miguel were very friendly, punctual and did a great job raising the back concrete steps and leveling the sidewalk. Since it rained, they are coming back to do the caulking."

"Love the work! After working with Andrew and his team for a couple months at my home at the Lake of the Ozarks, I will continue using them for multiple projects.... Ditch work, road grading, culvert installs, concrete grading prep, trenching, french-drain work and some hydrant work. He is honest, experienced, hardworking and takes pride in his work. I have used hundreds of contractors in my 30 years of home building and I am very particular about my properties and the work being done. Andy has met my expectations in not only the quality of work, but the project communication, supervision and the accuracy of the charges being billed. I highly recommend his company and wouldn't hesitate to refer him."
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.
