"I had an existing slab in the backyard for a shed base. I wanted to extend it and keep the same pitch for water to run off. Nick and his crew made very short work it. From the site preparation, the form install, the sand and stone base, the reinforcement, to the pouring and cleaning up. They were fast and professional. They do great work and would recommend them to anyone!!"

"Ernest and his Dad are great to work with - completely transparent pricing. Pricing was very fair - great value for cost. Very high quality work and results. My wife and I are extremely pleased with their transformation of our backyard patio - fairly large area - almost 900 sq ft including difficult levels due to existing inground pool â ¦ spent a lot of extra time reacting to mid job modifications- we love our new paver patio - would highly recommend Begoâ s Masonry!!"

"Vilson and John are extremely hardworking and talented. We had an idea of what we wanted for our house and with our description and Vilson's vision, we ended up with a final product that is breathtaking! Once we saw their talent and professionalism, we had them do many projects for us. They made a gorgeous bluestone patio entering our home and another one on the side entrance. Before we had a plain concrete entryway that had been there for years and Vilson came up with a design that flowed beautifully with the house. They also installed Belgian Blocks along our driveway and did a stunning entrance at the top all with Belgian Blocks. They also designed an absolutely stunning stonewall to wrap around the side and front of our home. They are very professional, arrive when they say they will, and work very diligently to complete the job in a timely manner. They even came on the weekends when they needed to due to rain and other obstacles. The quality, beauty and durability of their work was above and beyond anything we expected. Craftsman Stone and Masonry are the best! We give them are highest recommendation."

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.
