"We were looking for a good local concrete contractor to help us with what we needed to get a 24' X 30' concrete pad done so we could build a garage and boy did we find the best one in the area. Jeff came out and looked everything over gave us a reasonable estimate. Then sent out Adam, Lucas, and Brad and they did an absolute fabulous job on the pad so we had them out a 2nd time for concrete in front of the 2 roll-up doors on the new garage. I would highly recommend this company for any concrete work you may need done. They know what they are doing. Great job done."

"Really pleased with Reformed Concrete. The sales process is slightly informal, but Zach was very prompt in getting me all the info I needed, answered all my questions, and was able to fit in the job I needed done on short notice. Zach was very knowledgeable, and even offered some ideas for other parts of my remodel that iâ ll be using. He followed up a few days later to make sure we were happy with the work. Would definitely recommend hiring this company."

"I recently hired Troy to help level out a large section of my yard, dig deep concrete footers for a gazebo, and assist with some general landscaping work — and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Troy was professional, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. He showed up on time, brought all the right equipment, and got to work immediately. The ground leveling was precise, and the concrete footers were dug exactly to spec — deep, clean, and ready for rebar. His attention to detail and work ethic are top-notch. He also offered helpful recommendations throughout the process, which really improved the outcome of the project. If you’re looking for someone dependable who knows what they’re doing and won’t cut corners, Troy is your guy. I’ll absolutely be using him again for future landscaping and outdoor construction projects."

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.
