Openings in walls and floors
For a new doorway, a window or a rectangle out of a floor, we saw straight lines. On a wall, a track-mounted diamond saw does the work where a floor saw can't stand.

What goes into cutting your concrete
Concrete cutting in Prattville means sawing straight lines or drilling round holes through a slab, driveway, walk or wall, so you get a doorway, a trench or a clean hole for a pipe without breaking up the concrete around it.
Several things move the price. The length and depth of the cut matter, along with whether the slab has rebar, the steel bars inside that hold it together, how easy the spot is to reach, and whether you want the pieces broken up and hauled off. The schedule mostly turns on what has to happen before the saw starts, so I come out, measure it myself and give you your number on site.
Before we set a date, we find out which office covers your address, like the City of Prattville, and what it wants. If your job needs a permit, we handle the application or walk you through it, and we don't start ahead of it. We're based in Prattville and cut for homeowners and small businesses in Montgomery, Millbrook, Wetumpka and plenty of other cities around it.
I measure the job myself
I come out, look at the slab or wall and measure the cut myself, then run the work on site with my crew, so the person who priced it is the one making it.
Full time on concrete since 2013
We've worked concrete full time since 2013, starting with sidewalks and small slabs, so we know how a slab is put together before we saw into one.
Straight answers before we cut
If a cut won't fix what's bothering you, I'll say so up front, because I'd rather tell you what concrete will and won't do than sell you a job that doesn't solve it.
How we plan and make the cut
It starts with you telling me the shape of the opening, what it's for and whether you want the pieces hauled off. The shape and the use decide whether we saw or core, and removal is its own job, so knowing all three up front means the price covers the work you actually want.
Inside a garage, a basement or any closed room, we pick equipment that's safe there instead of a gas saw, because a gas engine gives off carbon monoxide and a closed room has nowhere for it to go. Before we touch a post-tensioned slab, one with steel cables pulled tight inside it, we want the cable layout, which usually takes a scan first, since cutting a cable can let it release all at once and damage the building.
A lot of cutting leads into new concrete. When part of a driveway or patio is cracked or sunken, we can saw out just that piece on clean lines and pour new, and our pages on concrete driveway building and concrete patio construction cover that side of the job.
Common reasons to cut concrete
Round holes for pipes and drains
When a new pipe, conduit or drain has to pass through, a diamond core drill makes a clean round hole, so you don't end up with a square opening bigger than it needs to be.
Trenches across a slab
When a line has to run under a garage floor or a driveway, we cut two straight lines and take out the strip between them, so the rest of the slab stays whole.
Control joints in a new slab
Control joints are shallow saw cuts that give a slab a chosen place to crack. We cut them soon after the pour, before the slab picks its own spots across your patio.

Send the form and we'll get back to you within one business day, and I'll come out to look at the job and measure it myself. The estimate is free, on site, with no obligation.
Where the cut goes
Tell us whether it's a driveway, a garage floor, a basement wall or a patio, and where on it the cut sits, because the slab or wall type sets the saw we bring.
The shape and length
A rough length, the shape of the opening and what it's for, whether that's a door, a drain or a trench, let me match the method before I come out.
Whether the pieces go or stay
Say whether you want the cut pieces broken up and hauled off or left in place, so the estimate covers the whole job and nothing surprises you later.

Questions about concrete cutting in Prattville
Here are the questions people around Prattville ask most before they hire someone to saw or core their concrete.
How much does concrete cutting cost in Prattville?
Professional slab saw cutting across the US usually costs about $4 to $15 per linear foot for the sawing itself. Thicker or reinforced slabs tend to run higher than a thin one that's easy to reach, and a short cut is often priced by a minimum charge, so it can cost more than its length suggests. Your own number comes from measuring it on site.
Is hauling away the cut concrete included in the price?
Not always, because sawing and removal are separate jobs and some cutters leave the cut panels where they lie. Breaking, lifting, loading and disposal can cost more than the sawing, so ask whether a quote covers it. We price cutting and removal as separate pieces, and you tell us whether the pieces go.
Do I need a permit to cut concrete in Prattville?
Possibly, and the City of Prattville is where to check, because its permit list names additions, renovations, fences and outbuildings, not concrete cutting. A core hole for a new pipe, drain or gas line ties into trade work, which needs its own permit pulled by the licensed pro doing it. Residential applications usually take 3 to 5 days for first review, and we check before setting a date.
How do you keep the dust down when cutting concrete?
We cut wet, because putting water on the blade greatly reduces the dust sawing creates. That matters since concrete dust carries crystalline silica, particles far smaller than ordinary sand that you can breathe in, so it's a fair question to ask any crew before they start on your house.
Does a concrete cutter need a license in Alabama?
The state's home builder license covers remodeling, repairing or improving a house when labor and materials together come to more than $10,000, and it leaves out work outside the state licensing board's reach. So ask any cutter how their license applies to your job. We're licensed and insured, and I'll tell you how that fits yours.
