"I own discount cesspool and drain inc, ive been using Mike for over 10 years! His work is always perfect. He gives me and many new home owners the more resonable prices ever! Mike always comes on time and gives me a free in person estimate. If his price is higher than other contractors he beats the other price quoted by $500 every time. One of my favorite parts about this conpany is that they are family owned and operated. I highly recommend thid company to anyone looking for beautiful work, foundations, waterproofing, Ashphault work, brick and masnary work!! Thanks again Mike and Jim!!! -Dom Motta, president of Discount Cesspool and Drain Inc"

"Alex and his team were great. They expertly installed Cambridge Armortec pavers on my driveway, path to my house and my stoop. He also repaved part of my inside of my garage that was crumbling. I am very, very happy with the work they did. I was somewhat skeptical because I couldn't find any recent reviews on the Co. They did do my neighbors driveway and it looks beautiful. So decided to give them a try. They were also less expensive than a few other estimates. Highly recommend AA and Son Masonry."

"Moises and his crew repaired water rotted wood in difficult locations and completely finished the garage to every detail from insulation to molding, as shown in pictures here. They thought of every detail that shows their pride over their work. Not only is their work top notch, but they are also easy to work with and very communicative through the whole process. I have already hired them for a second job."

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.
