Concrete Cutting & Sawing


What is concrete cutting, and why is it needed?

Concrete cutting is the precise process of sawing, drilling, or removing concrete structures. It’s needed for projects such as utility installation, home remodeling, egress windows, or safe demolition of old slabs, sidewalks, and driveways.

We provide many concrete cutting services, including slab sawing, wall sawing, core drilling, trenching, excavation, and complete concrete demolition and removal services across Boise and the Treasure Valley.


How accurate are your cuts?

We use advanced diamond blade saws for straight, precise cuts, ideal for window and door openings, utility trenches, and structural modifications without damaging surrounding areas.
 

How long does a typical project take?

Most small jobs, like slab cutting or core drilling, are completed within a day. Larger demolition or excavation projects vary based on scope.



Core Drilling & Specialized Services


What is core drilling used for?

Core drilling allows us to create perfect round openings in concrete for plumbing, electrical lines, HVAC systems, rebar, or anchor bolts.


Can you drill through reinforced concrete or tight spaces?

Yes. We use electric and hydraulic drills that work in close quarters and at any angle, including overhead or upside-down, making us ideal for complex jobs.


Do you install egress windows?

Yes. We handle the full process, excavation, wall sawing, removal, and window installation, so homeowners meet safety codes while improving natural light and ventilation.
