"They contacted me the same day I requested a concrete slab estimate. Two days later my concrete slab was done . Their price was very competitive with 2 other contractors. I was very impressed with the work they did and how nice it looks. I would definitely hire this contractor again."

"They did a fantastic job. The floor looks fantastic. They showed up timely and completed the job in 2 days with no problems. Their office was excellent in communicating with me, helping me schedule the job in a timely manner. They also did not require any down payment until they began the job. Definitely would recommend them."

"Gavin Gordon was super professional and a great help in answering all our questions prior to the foundation raise. Then Anthony and George arrived on site and very quickly raised the concrete around our pool that had settled over time. We had no issues during the service and are very pleased with the final look of the concrete - we canâ t believe how much the concrete was raised. We would recommend Alpha Foudations all day every day!"

"I recently had a new concrete driveway put in. Dean and his crew were hard-working and very polite. I was very impressed with the professionalism and quality of work that was performed. My driveway was flat and level. The edges of the driveway were straight and well defined. There was no crumbling or chipping on the concrete. My driveway looks beautiful!! Thank you very much to Dean and his crew!"
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.
