"We recently had our garage floor transformed by Garage Force with their polyurea full chip system, and we couldn’t be happier! From start to finish, their service was top-notch. Their pricing was competitive, they scheduled our appointment promptly, and, most impressively, they stuck to their promised timeline, completing the installation in just 1.5 days. The installers were incredibly professional—polite, efficient, and meticulous in their cleanup, leaving our space spotless. The quality of the floor is outstanding, and it has completely elevated the look and durability of our garage. We highly recommend Garage Force to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team to upgrade their garage flooring. Excellent service and a fantastic final result!"

"Hilario made a patio, fixed a concrete step, removed a concrete foundation wall, and hauled away a brush pile. He also cut down a tree for my neighbor. He has great communication and followup, he shared pictures as examples of his work and brought over sample patio stones to select. He let me know promptly when rain delayed the start date, and answered my questions about his plan. He moved a plant I wanted to keep, which showed good thoughtfulness. Excellent quality work, efficient completion. I'd work with him again."

"Great value, nice-clean work, Joshua was honest, reliable and started the job ahead of schedule. As a general contractor myself, I will be using these guys again. The work was brick repair, concrete, stairs, retaining walls, foundation repair. Finish product was exactly what I was looking for. Glad I found Sublime when I did. Great job guys!"

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.
