"Want to be lucky or smart - be both - hire Justin Means and his crew (J & C Masonary) for any concrete, block, or brickwork you need. They did an outstanding job on a very long sidewalk and pad for me and I feel both lucky and smart that I hired them. I will use them again and heartily recommend them to you."

"Jovan was very professional and good to work with. He had to work with the concrete companies to find out when they could deliver the concrete and had to work around the rain. He and his crew did an outstanding job."

"I am thoroughly impressed and completely satisfied with the quality of work J and M Construction did in putting in a concrete driveway for us. They were extremely professional, did high-quality work, and at a price far below that of other bids. If you need concrete work done, I would HIGHLY recommend using J and M."

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.
