Flooring
Polished concrete can take nearly any concrete floor surface from bland to spectacular. The top reason people polish a concrete floor is because of its low maintenance over the long term and when compared to other flooring options it provides an owner with the most bang for their buck. It does not need to be refinished or replaced as long as the minimal maintenance is completed, which is typically just keeping the floor clean. Additionally, polished concrete gives the owner the ability to create their floor. The owner can add dyes to the floor for color, add score lines for patterns, and ultimately decide how much aggregate and how much shine they want the floor to have.
In 2014, Keith, Ellen, and their son, Benjamin, came together and founded ELSEA Construction Services, LLC. ELSEA currently has a fleet of four boom pump trucks and one trailer pump that serves South Central, Pennsylvania, Northern Maryland, and West Virginia.
Concrete can be installed any time the temperature is 32 degrees and rising. However, the best time to install concrete is spring, summer, or early fall. If your concrete is exposed to deicing salts, such as a driveway, the earlier in the year the better as it provides more cure and strength gain for the concrete prior to exposure.
Excavation
Owning an array of late model equipment and keeping up with evolving technology allows Keith Smith Concrete to be competitive in jobsite excavation and grading. Through the use of lasers, robotics, and GPS with 3D machine control, we are able to move dirt and grade subbase more efficiently and accurately than our competition. Regardless of jobsite size, our experienced operators are able to be more productive while always maintaining a safe work space.
Snow Removal
For regular broom finish concrete, simply clean it as necessary with a pressure washer. Keep the tip of the pressure washer at least ten inches from the concrete surface to avoid risking any damage from the pressure. For stamped concrete, you need to keep the product cleaned as noted before, and reseal every 2-5 years. Also use plastic shovels for snow removal on stamped concrete.

A poured concrete foundation wall will provide a much stronger wall when compared to a masonry block wall. Additionally, it is being found that concrete foundation walls are much quicker to construct and very competitive when priced against masonry.
