"We couldn't be happier with the amazing work by Kent and his team. Gray Construction was highly recommended by two pool renovation contractors. With a large complex project, we knew we couldn't afford to go with anyone else. Kent is not only an amazing concrete artist, he addressed things like drainage and reinforcements to prolong the life of our concrete and prevent damage from erosion, two things that other concrete contractors didn't even mention. We knew we wanted a large concrete patio and pool surround, but we allowed Kent and his team to use their creativity to make the design unique, and we are so glad that we did! They are true craftsmen who pay attention to details to make the design just right. It is refreshing to see a team so enthusiastic about their work and we would recommend them without hesitation."

"I recently hired Victor and his crew from Berks Concrete to install a new concrete pad for my pool equipment. From start to finish, Victor did an amazing job at a very reasonable price. They were courteous and always on time. I couldn’t be happier with how the work came out. I would not hesitate to hire Berks Concrete for any hardscaping project."

Time to come out after initial contact, view desired work and provide an estimate was remarkable. Start dates were provided and time frames for completion maintained. Work was meticulous and cleanup exceptional. Thank you Edgar and Micheal-recommend without reservation."

"Let me start by saying I have dealt with alot of contracting companies and BQ Basement Systens is the best one I ever worked with. From the moment I made the appt until the project was finished they were nothing but professional. Brian and the crew were knowledgeable, easy to work with and answered every question I had regarding my concrete stabilization project. I had a complex problem and they handled it with ease. How would I rate them from 1-10? I would give them a rating of 100. My husband and I are extremely pleased with their service and highly recommend them for a concrete lift project."

"Outdoor Assets did a great job. We needed a concrete slab for our garage and the owner educated me on the process. They completed the concrete slab before the necessary completion date and were able to work with our budget, as well. The company was highly organized, very professional and always cleaned up their work area at the end of the day. I would highly recommend using Outdoor Assets for any concrete and masonry work!"

"They responded quickly. Presented a clear plan to keep our basement dry. They did the work as promised in a timely fashion, and persevered through obstacles (cramped conditions and thick reinforced concrete to hammer through). I'm satisfied."

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.
