Need an opening for a pipe, a doorway or a broken section cut out of your concrete? We saw or core it right on the line.
How do you cut through a concrete slab or wall in Anaheim?
Concrete cutting in Anaheim, CA covers sawing straight lines, breaking out sections and coring round holes through a driveway, patio, slab or wall, so you get an opening for a pipe, drain, doorway or repair without tearing out the concrete around it.
Most calls start with something that has to get through concrete, like a new drain line under the patio, a doorway in a concrete wall, or a cracked section that has to come out before a new driveway goes in. The price moves with how thick the concrete is, how many feet of cut or how many holes you need, whether there's rebar, the steel bars set inside to hold it together, and how close to the line the cut has to stay. The schedule mostly turns on what has to be checked and marked first and whether the city wants a permit, and after I walk and measure the job, you get a clear price for it.
Why homeowners call us for concrete cutting
You get a straight answer about what's in your concrete and what the cut involves before anything gets sawed, even when it isn't the answer you hoped for.

Concrete cutting methods and when each fits
The right method comes down to what the concrete is, where the cut runs, how close it has to stay to the line and how big the opening needs to be.

Why people trust AJ Anaheim Concrete Contractors with concrete cutting
I'd rather tell you something you don't want to hear at the estimate than find it halfway through a cut. If the cut runs through steel, near a line coming into the house or somewhere the concrete is carrying weight, I say so up front and we plan around it before anyone starts the saw.
A cut is usually the start of a job, not the end. When we open a slab for a new line or take out a broken section, the patch goes back on a dug-out, packed base, because a patch sitting on loose dirt settles and cracks at the seam. That's the part nobody sees, and it's the last thing I'd skimp on, whether it's a patch or a new concrete patio.
Concrete cutting questions we hear
How much does concrete cutting cost per foot in Anaheim?
Professional concrete cutting across the US usually costs about $3 to $10 per linear foot of cut, and that's the going range nationally, not our price. Where your job lands comes down to the thickness, the steel and how tight the cut has to be, and I give you a clear price once I've measured it.
How large a hole can a handheld core drill make?
Handheld core drilling is usually limited to holes no bigger than 6 inches across. A wider opening calls for more than a handheld drill, so give us the size when you call and we'll bring the right setup.
What should be checked before cutting a concrete slab?
The cut lines should be marked, the utility lines in or next to the concrete found and shut off, and anything buried in the slab near the cut located and marked. An industry guideline puts those steps on the owner or the contracting agency, so we agree with you up front who does each one. If the slab may have post-tension cables, steel cables pulled tight inside it, one company's guide advises checking the structural records and getting a professional scan of the exact spot, because cutting one can damage the building or release its tension near the crew.
How do I find out if I need a permit to cut concrete in Anaheim?
Start with Anaheim's Building Division at City Hall, which points anyone unsure to its "When Is A Permit Required?" guide. If your cut needs a permit, we pull it and handle the paperwork with the city, and if plans have to come from an architect or engineer, I'll tell you early and we'll cut to those plans.
Does a concrete cutting contractor need a license in California?
Yes, California's contractor licensing board lists concrete sawing, breaking and coring as licensed work under its concrete-related services classification. It's fair to ask anyone you're hiring to show you their license before the saw comes out.
What is the best way to cut concrete inside a house?
Indoors, an electric, hydraulic or air-powered saw is usually the better choice, because an industry guideline says engine-powered saws cutting interior walls or slabs need ventilation and air circulation that meet OSHA standards. Tell us the cut is inside when you call, and we'll plan the saw around the room.
