Trenches through basement and shop floors
When a drain or plumbing line has to run under the floor, we flat saw two straight lines so the slab comes out in one strip instead of being broken up around it.

What goes into cutting concrete at your place
Concrete cutting in Toledo is sawing a straight line through a floor, driveway, sidewalk or concrete wall, so you get a trench, a new opening or a section that can come out without breaking up the rest.
Most calls start with something that has to get through concrete, like a drain line under a basement floor, a wider opening in a garage wall or a cracked stretch of driveway that needs to come out before a new pour. The price moves with how many feet there are to cut and what you're cutting, since reinforced or deeper slabs and walls cost more per foot than an easy slab, and with whether you want the pieces hauled off. The schedule mostly turns on whether the concrete is structural and needs a scan first and whether the city wants a permit, so I'll walk it, measure it and write down what's included and what isn't.
I write every estimate myself
I come out and write every estimate myself, and I'm on site with our crew when we cut, so the person who agreed on the lines is there when the saw starts.
Licensed to work in Toledo
Toledo requires contractors to register and keep a license to do business in the city, and we're licensed and fully insured, which counts on a cut where you can't see what's inside.
Bad news at the estimate, not later
If a cut could weaken what it goes through, or grow once we know what's inside, I'll tell you at the estimate, because concrete is hard to undo once the saw's gone through.
How we plan and make each cut
I'll ask whether the concrete is structural before we quote, because a wall or slab that carries weight can hide rebar, the steel that gives it strength, along with cables pulled tight inside some slabs, pipes and conduit, and that can mean scanning it before we cut. Then we match the saw to the surface. A flat saw rolls across floors, driveways and trench lines, and a diamond blade on a track-mounted wall saw reaches openings a floor saw can't. We mark the lines together, make the cuts and look over the edges with you before we leave.
Cutting is often the first step of something bigger. We saw out a broken section so a new concrete driveway can tie into the part that's staying, and we cut back an old slab to make room for a new concrete patio without breaking up more than we have to.
Common cuts around Toledo and nearby
New openings in concrete walls
A doorway through a foundation wall alters the structure, and the City of Toledo issues permits for that work, so we check with the city and pull what's needed before we cut.
Bad sections of driveway or sidewalk
Sawing around a cracked or sunken piece lets the bad part come out while the rest stays put, a call we get all over Toledo and the cities around it in northwest Ohio and southern Michigan.
Small repairs and patches
City guidance says some minor repairs and small projects can go ahead without a building permit when they leave structural stability, safety and public health alone, so we check first and you know who's involved.

Tell us the surface, where it is, how long the cut runs and whether it's structural. We reply within one business day, then I come out to measure. The estimate is free with no obligation.
Measured and written on site
I walk the job, measure every line and write down what's included and what isn't, so you know what you're paying for before anything gets scheduled.
No obligation to go ahead
The estimate is yours to keep whether you book or not, so you can compare it, wait on a permit answer or come back to it when you're ready.
Backed by our satisfaction guarantee
I'd rather settle every line and every question at the estimate than leave you finding something out after the saw has already gone through your concrete.

Questions about concrete cutting in Toledo
Here are the questions Toledo homeowners and business owners ask most before we cut, from price and permits to what you'll need ready.
How much does concrete cutting cost in Toledo?
Across the US, professional saw cutting of concrete slabs usually runs about $4 to $15 per linear foot, a national figure for the sawing itself, not our price. Reinforced or deeper slabs and wall sawing cost more per foot, and hauling the pieces off is a separate job. I'll measure your cut and write you a price at a free estimate.
Does a curb or driveway cut in Toledo need a permit?
Toledo code requires a licensed contractor to confirm a permit has been obtained before building or rebuilding any sidewalk, driveway or curb opening. On a major street or a corner lot, the city has to approve where a curb opening goes before anyone applies for that permit. We check those rules with the city before we start, so you know who's involved.
Will a concrete cutting company haul the concrete away?
Not always, because sawing and removal are separate jobs, and a cutter may make the outline or trench cuts and leave the panels right where they sit. Your quote from us says plainly whether we're only making the cuts or hauling the pieces away too, so check that line if you want them gone.
What do I need to provide on concrete cutting day?
Usually water and power. One trade specification makes the owner responsible for supplying both to the cutting crew, so it helps to know where your outside spigot and nearest outlet are. The sawing trade's flat sawing spec also calls for owner and cutter to agree on collecting slurry, the wet cutting waste, before work starts, and we talk that through at the estimate.
Can concrete be cut indoors in a basement or garage?
Yes, though the saw matters. One trade specification says fuel-powered saws used for indoor slab sawing need ventilation and air circulation that meet OSHA standards, and it names electric, hydraulic and air-powered saws as the other options. Tell us where the cut is at the estimate and we'll plan the saw around the space.
