Concrete cutting in Wellington FL - clean openings cut where you need them
Need a trench, doorway or pipe hole through solid concrete? We pick the right cut for the opening and spell out what the price covers.
Concrete cutting makes room. Here's when you'll need it.
Concrete cutting in Wellington, FL is how we open up a slab or a wall cleanly, without busting up more than the job needs. Flat sawing runs a blade across floors, driveways and sidewalks, while wall sawing mounts a diamond saw on a track for walls and openings a floor saw can't reach.
Most calls start with a bigger plan, like a drain line under a garage floor, a new doorway, or a bad section pulled out before we pour a new driveway or patio slab. A rough cut leaves chipped edges and cracks that run into concrete you meant to keep.
The price moves with how many feet we cut, how thick the slab is, whether there's rebar, the steel bars inside that hold it together, whether it's a wall, and whether you want the pieces hauled off. The schedule turns mostly on removal and on any digging after the cut. I'll put your own figure in writing when I come look.
Concrete cutting usually starts with a plan. Here's what that looks like.
A pipe that has to cross a slab
If a plumber or electrician needs a line under a floor or through a wall, that usually means a trench cut or a round core hole. Until it's cut, the rest of their work tends to sit and wait.
A doorway planned in a concrete wall
A new door or window in a concrete wall calls for wall sawing, so the edges come out straight. Knocking it out with a hammer instead tends to crack and loosen the wall around the opening.
One cracked or sunken section
When one panel of a driveway, walk or patio has cracked or dropped, a clean saw line lets us take out just that piece. Left alone, the edge keeps lifting and catching feet, mowers and tires.
Concrete cutting starts with a visit. Here's what follows.
You call, and I come out to see the spot, ask what shape the opening is and what has to pass through it, and answer your questions. For cuts inside a house or garage, we talk through the saw, because a gas saw fills a closed room with carbon monoxide, and hydraulic or air-powered gear is the safer choice there.
Then you get a written estimate that spells out what's included, down to whether removal is part of it and who handles the slurry, the gray wet waste from cutting. If the job needs a permit, we pull it and handle the paperwork.
Before the blade touches concrete, we mark the cut lines with you and you show us anything you know is buried along them, like pipes or wires, because a saw can't tell the difference. Then I'm on site leading our crew through the cut and the clean-up, and we walk the finished work with you.

If a cut leads into a trench, Florida law has whoever digs give notice through the state system at least 2 full business days before digging starts, so we plan that wait into the schedule.

How much does concrete cutting cost in Wellington, FL?
Professional concrete saw cutting across the US usually costs about $4 to $15 per linear foot, and that's for the sawing alone. Thicker or reinforced slabs and wall cuts run higher per foot, and small jobs are often priced by a minimum charge for coming out rather than by the foot. I'll price yours in writing on site.
Should I saw cut or core drill an opening in concrete?
Saw it if the opening is a straight line or a rectangle, and core drill it if it's a round hole for a pipe, conduit or drain. The shape and what passes through it decide the method, so a quote should name which one you're getting.
Does concrete cutting include hauling the concrete away?
Not always, because sawing and removal are separate jobs, and some cutters only saw the lines and leave the pieces in place. Breaking, lifting, hauling and disposal can cost more than the sawing itself, so compare what each quote covers. Ours says plainly which you're getting.
Who can pull a building permit in Palm Beach County?
In Palm Beach County, only homeowners and qualified contractors can pull permits. When a job needs one, we pull it as your licensed contractor, check what your city's office asks for at the start and keep you posted. The county also advises holding your final payment until the permit is closed out.
