"Again! I call on Perez Asphalt and paving. And again they did a great job! They also did my driveway. Prompt, Efficient, they were neat. They were focused on the task at hand. They showed up they did the job with patients, cleaned up and left. The best part was the fair price, someone else tried to charge me more than double for the same job. Good experience throughout!"

"Front of my stairs were starting to crumble and looked gross. I was having a hard time finding a permanent solution, at a reasonable price, and had curb appeal. Had a couple quotes but I’m glad I went with Design and Build Masonry LLC. Very nice people, family owned, and did an awesome job! Will be having them take care of some more projects for me."

"Andi was phenomenal! We expected a slab patio at our budget, but Andi gave us a work of art! I wish I could post a picture! Andi was on time, used excellent materials, and did everything meticulously. He was patient as I picked out stone colors, he gave lots of design options, and had great advice to offer. He paid attention to every detail and was wonderful to communicate with. I cannot say enough about him - we are SO happy with our beautiful patio and we will use him again! I highly recommend you hire him for your project. He is a great value and, if you are anything like me, you will be thrilled with the result"

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.
