"We hired Konkretto to remove the grass in our backyard and replace it with a beautiful concrete patio. From start to finish, the team was professional, hardworking, and paid close attention to every detail. They transformed our backyard into a clean, functional, and inviting outdoor space that we can enjoy for years to come. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend Konkretto to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality concrete work."

"Tino from JK Company worked closely with me thru every phase of the project which was to replace my broken concrete driveway with paving stones. He was always very professional and provided frequent updates on status and scheduling. The quality of the work was absolutely top notch and the end result is a definite enhancement to my home's curb appeal and value. I would highly recommend Tino and his crew to anyone. And I have received many compliments on how beautiful my new driveway is from friends and neighbors!"

"Done-Rite did an asphalt & concrete install in our parking lot and did a fantastic job. Their pricing was conpetitive and the quality of their work exceeded our expectations. They were able to work within our scheduling requirements so we did not have to interupt our normal business. Nick was on site to make sure they did everything we asked and answer any questions we had. It's great a find a company that does what they promise, with excellent quality work. We would hearrtily recommend them, and expect to have them back for future projects."

"I hired Salgado’s to repair our 17 year old paver patio and walkway. The pavers were sinking and stained, and moss was growing between them. Greg and his team took great care with leveling the patio, stoop and walkway. They clearly know what they are doing. They removed all the plastic edging which was lifting and shifting and replaced it with a special concrete product. They cleaned and sealed the pavers and the patio looks like new. Greg was on-site most of the time and kept us updated on their progress. I had other estimates and the price was fair. We are thrilled with the work and would highly recommend Salgado’s."

"Pete gave me the quote in July. We let him know that we wanted do the work in October.  He was patient about modifying the quote several times as we tried to figure out options and budget. I went to their office to look at a variety of paver options installed outside.  This was very helpful in choosing the color, as I could see it in natural light in a large pattern, rather than deciding from a catalog or a small piece or two. This changed my mind as to the color I selected.  I then scheduled the work in September, to be done in October.
They arrived on time.  Pete and I walked out the exact measurements and edges of the patio and walk and he chalked it.  He obtained the building permit. The crew removed the old concrete and pavers.  The project ran about 4 days. They were on time, polite, and incredibly hard-working.  Everything was cleaned up at the end of every day.  When the project was done, I was concerned with the way the sand had settled (or not settled) into some of the joints of the paving stones.  Pete sent people out twice to be sure that the joints were filled and that I was satisfied with the job.  
I would definitely use the company again.

FAQs for concrete work projects in Lake Forest, IL

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.
