Most residential projects need3/8" to 5/8" thick rebar.
Concrete slabs thinner than 4” typically don’t need rebar.
Concrete slabs thicker than 4” will often need rebar, especially for heavy-vehicle parking areas.
Plain and untreated steel rebar costs $0.40 to $1.25 per linear foot, and prices increase up to $9.00 per linear foot for stainless steel rebar. The type of rebar needed depends on the design purpose and installation location.

Cost factors include:
Size – The thicker and longer the rebar, the higher the material cost.
Quantity – Bulk discounts typically apply for buying larger quantities.
Material type – Galvanized and stainless-steel rebar costs more than regular steel rebar.
Color – Rebar coated with corrosion-resistant paint costs more than the standard black finish.
Steel market rate – Steel prices fluctuate according to market conditions, availability, and the geographic location.
Brand – High-quality brands offer stronger steel rebar with less alloys at higher prices.
Delivery – Transportation costs apply according to the total order size and the distance to the construction site.
Grade 60 rebar costs up to 40% more on average than grade 40 rebar, depending on availability. Rebar grade is the number of pounds per square inch that steel withstands. Stronger 60-grade rebar is for large buildings and bridges. A 40-grade rebar is more common for residential projects.

Rebar stirrups cost $1.50 to $7.00 each for sizes of 1’ to 2’ long. Rebar stirrups are typically for reinforcing long rebar poles in concrete columns or beams. These steel bars come in open or closed shapes like rectangles, triangles, or U-shapes.
Tie wire costs $10 to $45 per reel to bind and hold rebar pieces in place while the concrete cures. Tie wire is essential when installing most rebar even when stirrups aren’t necessary.
The material prices for rebar typically include stirrups and tie wire within one total price.
The labor cost to install rebar is $1.00 to $1.75 per square foot, excluding materials.
A concrete driveway costs $4 to $8 per square foot installed.
Concrete prices alone are $120 to $150 per cubic yard delivered.

Rebar installation cost per square foot Factor Cost per square foot Rebar materials $0.40 – $2.25 Installation labor $1.00 – $1.75 Total cost to install $1.40 – $4.00Contractors use rebar for reinforcing concrete and masonry structures. Without rebar, concrete cracks easily under stress from heavy weight loads, storms, or earthquakes.
Common applications include:
Driveways and patios: 1/8” to 3/8” thick rebar
Walls and columns: 3/8” to 5/8” thick rebar

Foundations and footings: 1/2” or thicker rebar
Long ceiling beams: 5/8” or thicker rebar
Swimming pool base: 3/8” to 5/8” thick rebar
A structural engineer or concrete contractor calculates how much rebar you need. The amount of rebar per project depends on:
Total perimeter of the concrete slab
Whether concrete is for a wall, driveway, sidewalk, or foundation footing
Rebar spacing required by local building codes
Total thickness of the concrete
Type of rebar available
The smallest sizes have 6 to 20 pieces of rebar in a bundle when they’re less than 18” long. The largest sizes have 40 to 260+ pieces of rebar per bundle in 20’ to 30’ lengths. Most suppliers sell rebar by weight or by size, not per bundle.
Wire mesh is better than rebar for:
Most concrete slabs up to 4” thick
Sidewalks
Non-load-bearing structures in landscaping
However, rebar is typically necessary for concrete poured more than 5” thick, garage slabs, pillars, and for high-traffic pavement. Although rebar costs more than wire mesh, it’s also stronger.
You can buy rebar from:
Construction equipment & supply companies
Paving businesses
Industrial metal suppliers
Concrete contractors
Local hardware or home improvement stores
Before hiring a concrete contractor near you, be sure to:
Compare 3 or more estimates from companies with 5+ years of experience.
Check that the company has licenses, insurance, and surety bonds.
Ask if they have certifications from the American Concrete Institute (ACI).
Read their reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
Get a written estimate and contract that includes a warranty before work starts.
Beware of the lowest quotes that can indicate low-quality work standards.
Never pay in full until the work is complete.

Rebar prices range from $400 to $800 depending on the quantity and type you purchase for a concrete project. On average, rebar costs from $0.70 to $0.80 per linear foot, not including installation costs. Common rebar sizes for residential projects are #4, which costs from $0.30 to $2.00 per linear foot, and #5, which costs from $0.45 to $2.55 per linear foot.
Rebar, short for reinforcing bar, is (most commonly) a steel bar placed inside concrete for added strength and stability. Steel prices can fluctuate sporadically, so your overall project cost could rise or fall depending on economic conditions. Check with a local rebar supplier for the current market prices. Unless you're doing a DIY project, your contractor includes rebar prices in other concrete project costs.
