"Im am so happy with the work that was done on my house. Tyler came and gave a very fair estimate on lifting my concrete side entrance stairs to my basement. He explained every step of the process and did exactly what we wanted with no issues. Everything was done to perfection. No damage was done and you cant even tell the stairs ever needed a repair in the first place. I would highly recommend this company and would hire again for any future jobs."

"Devin and his team at Big Apple Paving & Remodeling went above and beyond on my concrete driveway project. From the very beginning, Devin was professional, polite, and really took the time to explain every step so I knew exactly what to expect. He showed up on time every day, worked efficiently, and made sure the job was done to perfection. The quality is outstanding ? the driveway is smooth, even, and built to last. What I appreciated most was his attention to detail and how much pride he takes in his work. You can tell Devin truly cares about making his customers happy, not just getting the job done. The whole process was stress-free, the price was fair, and the results exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Devin and Big Apple Paving & Remodeling to anyone who wants reliable service, honest communication, and beautiful results, Definitely a 5-star experience from start to finish!"

"job well done. communication could use improvement."

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.
