"We were excited that we found Mencia Concrete from the dozens of contractors we reviewed. Aldo Mencia, the owner, gave us a great quote and timeline to complete building a paver patio with a wall in our backyard. He and his crew worked tirelessly and completed the project on time. Moreover, they replaced the sod that was damaged around the outside of the patio during the construction with some of the old sod they saved. Our patio looks beautiful. We are so grateful to Aldo and his crew for a job well done."

Customers say: Quick response
"Knowledgeable and honest. Walked me through every step in detail (taught me a lot). Didn't try to sell me things I didn't need and reasonably took care of recommended extras that have proven to be very beneficial. When new problems were discovered, he responded quickly and he followed up to ensure his repairs were settling properly over time. Even provided some quick landscaping and helped me control costs when the unexpected arose."

"To begin, Melvin Minor of Minor Concrete Works is a true gentlemen. His work ethics are top notch. He is a perfectionist and is detail oriented. I would most certainly hire Melvin again should I have need of concrete work."

"I was disappointed that the concrete slab didnâ t raise all the way. I was warned by the salesman that this could happen. The people who did the work said to wait a few months and they will try again under warranty."

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.
