"Working with PGS was a great experience. Patric is very knowledgeable. He went over all of the procedures and materials he would be using to install my stamp concrete patio. I asked a lot of questions and he was willing to listen to my concerns and take time to answer them. I am. Extremely happy with the finished product and will definitely be using PGS for any future concrete needs. Thank you PGS for your professionalism!"

"Artur listened to what I needed for a concrete stamping project and came sooner than when I had anticipated. His work is excellent and his prices are reasonable. He has a friendly professional crew that work very well together. He was able to fit me in on a Friday afternoon, a time when most contractors would quit for the weekend. I would recommend him to anyone for concrete work because he knows how to get things done in a timely, economic, and professional manner."

"CGV & K removed my existing brick sidewalks and replaced w proper poured concrete walkways. The work was done efficiently and impeccably. The concrete is brushed and marked beautifully. I'm very pleased with the results and it's a huge improvement to my curb appeal. Claudino was a pleasure to work with. As far as taking care of my property and cleaning up after, they exceeded my expectations. I'd rehire for sure."

"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!!"

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.
