How do I know what type of cutting or drilling I need?
If you’re not sure which service fits your project, just reach out. We’re happy to review your plans, photos, or site layout and recommend the right cutting or drilling method. We often walk jobs with clients to ensure accuracy before we begin.
Can you work indoors?
Yes. We use electric-powered saws and drills that are safe for indoor use—ideal for basements, office buildings, medical facilities, and other enclosed spaces. These tools are fume-free and allow for cleaner work with less dust.
How thick of concrete can you cut?
Our saws and drills are capable of cutting and coring through a wide range of concrete thicknesses. Whether you’re working with standard 4-inch slabs or heavily reinforced structural concrete, we have the right tools to complete the job.
Do you remove concrete after cutting or demolition?
Yes. We offer full-service tear-out and debris removal, including skidloader support and haul-away. If you're removing a slab, wall, or footing, we’ll take care of breaking it up, loading it out, and leaving the site clean.
Is your team licensed and insured?
Absolutely. We are a licensed and fully insured concrete service provider. All our work is performed to code and follows OSHA-compliant safety standards. Documentation is available upon request for commercial or public projects.
How do you control dust and debris?
We use wet-cutting methods, HEPA vacuums, and plastic barriers when necessary to contain dust and debris—especially on indoor jobs. Clean work is a top priority for our team.
How do I request a quote?
You can request a quote by calling us directly, sending an email, or using the contact form on our website. We'll ask about your location, timeline, service needs, and any plans or specifications you can share. For larger projects, we’re happy to schedule an on-site visit to walk the job.
Can you help with concrete jobs outside of cutting or demo?
While our focus is on cutting, coring, demolition, and removal, we often work in coordination with other trades and can refer trusted partners for flatwork, pouring, or finishing if needed.
What should I do before you arrive?
In most cases, there’s nothing you need to do. However, if you can:
- Clear access to the work area
- Mark or identify the desired cuts or drill points
- Let us know about hidden utilities, post-tension cables, or special conditions
We’ll take care of the rest—including safety, equipment setup, and clean-up.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept major forms of payment including:
- Checks
- Bank transfers
- Commercial billing for repeat clients
Invoices are typically issued after the job is completed unless otherwise arranged.
