"Great job by Joe and his sons from Pellicore Concrete. They did a great job for me with a concrete patio at the back of my house. Completed the job in a short period of time without rushing. Very satisfied, Joe was very helpful and I would not hesitate to use them again in the future."

"Luis was on time, cleaned everything up, and worked steadily. The concrete was shaped perfectly, smooth and texture matched the rest of the sidewalk. The concrete color didn't match as well as it might have but it never does, so 5 stars."

"From start to finish, Mark Weldon was a pleasure to work with. I had Mark tear out and replace a section of a concrete sidewalk that had a long crack in it. He did an excellent job and I will definitely hire him for more work in the future."

"The company came out originally and did a concrete pad for our company to wash down equipment and trucks. They did an amazing job! The pad has held up even with several commercial vehicles driving on it daily! Then they came out and excavated our entire parking lot and got our water to drain correctly to the drains. Have had several other companies come out to do the same thing and lasts about a month and they could never get the water to drain correctly!! Great honest company and would use again! The guy who excavated I believe was the owners son. His name was Mike and he was very friendly, honest and knowledgeable. A+++++"

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.
