"I reached out to Efran to get a quote for my driveway. It was half asphalt and half concrete and had shifted a lot due to improper drainage. I got him to extend the driveway to a retaining wall that was itself in need of attention. It was bowed out and lacked pointing. In-between the wall and my old driveway was a shed that had no foundation. I asked if he'd be able to move it to atop of the retaining wall and he said he'd try. He came up with a plan to fix the drainage issue and also added a conduit pipe under the new driveway. He did everything he said he would and even removed some small stumps for me. He wasn't able to move the shed but he managed my expectations early and let me know it may not work. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone needing work done!"

"I hired Alex Masonry to remove and rebuild a retaining wall that was leaning. After some discussion, I decided to expand the project to include new bluestone caps and to re-do my cracked concrete walkway with pavers. Alex and his crew did an outstanding job. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to work with. His pricing is very reasonable. He and his team did a great job. Hard workers, with great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Alex Masonry!"

Customers say: Quality work
"You will not be disappointed in hiring this business for your next project. Not only was he always on time, finished quicker than expected, shared his knowledge in what was best for our project, he also did something I wanted that wasnâ t part of the contract. It was something I wanted but wasnâ t willing to do it now but since I had the material and he was already there; he went ahead and did it. I was so pleased with his work that I couldnâ t resist paying now for the extra work. He will also keep you posted on everything being done."

"General Masonry built a new front stoop, walkway, and retaining wall for our home. Andi was knowledgeable and thoroughly professional. He discussed several options with us, and recommended one which wouldn't break the bank but looks beautiful. His workers were on time, and cleaned up after each work day. The project was completed quickly and on budget. We love the result. I highly recommend General masonry."

"John and his team did a great job. We contacted them to fix concrete steps in our back yard leading to our deck and he was able to provide all options for replacement, costing and timing. He was very respectful of when we wanted to get the project done and I felt like he knew exactly what needed to be done. I would highly recommend John and his team to anybody who needs masonry work."

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.
