The Concrete Guy Other Contractors Call.
GCs, masons, pool builders, landscapers, roofers — when you hit something that needs a real concrete finisher, Keith is the call. Saw cutting, field help on big pours, problem-solving advice, and commercial finishing across Greater Cleveland.
What Other Contractors Hire Keith For
Not estimating, not selling, not running paperwork — just real concrete work alongside your crew, when and where you need it.
Saw Cutting & Control Joints
Keith brings his own saw and crew. Control joints cut clean and on-time so your pour doesn't crack random. Residential driveways, commercial slabs, and decorative work all handled.
Field Help on Big Jobs
Need an extra finisher on a commercial pour? Need someone who knows how to grout plates, finish a long sidewalk, or handle decorative work your crew doesn't do? Keith comes ready to work.
Concrete Advice & Second Opinions
Hit something you haven't seen before? Customer site looks wrong? Keith has 39 years of solving the kind of problems that don't show up in the spec book. One phone call beats a botched pour and a full do-over later.
Commercial Finishing
Currently working a 54,000 sq ft floor at Heinen's. Past work includes freeway median walls, bridges, jails, banks, prisons, and commercial floors. If it's concrete and it's complicated, Keith has seen it.
“Concrete is a perishable item. We’re basically bakers — you have to know the sun, the wind, the mix. If a guy shows up to your site without the right equipment and orders concrete that’s gonna sit in the truck for an hour, you already lost. I’ve been preventing those mistakes for 39 years.”

Owner, Designer Concrete
Why Other Contractors Trust Keith

He treats your job site the same way he treats his own: walk the job first, set up right, then pour. No drama, no attitude, leave the feelings at home.
