Concrete cutting in Mountain View CA - clean, straight cuts with the slurry picked up
Need a trench for a drain line or a broken panel out of your driveway? We cut it straight and clean up the slurry.
Concrete cutting makes clean openings. Here's when you need one.
At Precision Mountain View Concrete, concrete cutting means a saw for straight cuts in a slab or wall and a core drill for round holes for pipes, drains and conduit. We do it across Mountain View, CA and many of the cities around it, most often to outline a doorway, a trench line or a section that has to come out.
The saw has to match the job. A flat saw handles a driveway or garage floor, a wall saw rides a track up a wall, a hand saw reaches tight spots and a wire saw takes on thick, heavily reinforced sections. That's why I ask first if you're indoors or out, slab or wall, and whether you need pipe holes.
The price moves with how much cutting there is, how deep it goes, how much rebar, the steel that reinforces a slab, sits inside and what happens to the pieces afterward. The schedule mostly turns on access and on what's coming next, like a plumber or a new concrete driveway, and your written estimate lays out each piece.
You might need concrete cutting. Here's what usually prompts the call.
A broken or sinking section
A cracked or sinking piece of driveway or patio usually doesn't mean the whole slab has to go. Cutting it out on clean lines lets us replace that part, or start a new patio, before the edges chip further.
A new drain line through the floor
When a plumber needs a trench through a garage floor or slab, sawing the edges first keeps the opening where it belongs. Hammering it out tends to crack more than you meant, which leaves more to patch.
A doorway planned in a concrete wall
A new door, window or vent in a concrete wall needs straight, square edges, and a track-mounted wall saw gives you that. It's usually the first step, so the rest of the project waits on it.
Concrete cutting with us, step by step. It starts with a look.
You call or send a message, and I come out myself to look at the spot, because what's under and around a cut matters as much as the cut. I'll ask a lot of questions and mark the lines with you standing there, so we agree on exactly where the saw goes.
Then I send you a written estimate with each cut and core hole listed, so you can line it up against any other quote. If something can't be known until the concrete is open, like how thick it really is, I'll say so in writing instead of guessing.
Once you're ready, our lead hand runs the crew and I check in at the key steps. When the cutting's done, we clean up, and I walk the finished job with you before we leave.

(650) 447-1063Concrete cutting around Mountain View. Keeping the slurry out of the bay.
In the Santa Clara Valley, storm drains carry water straight to local creeks and the bay without treatment. So we vacuum up the slurry, the gray paste of water and concrete dust a saw leaves behind, as we cut, and leave none on the pavement. If any reached a drain, valley guidance says to clean it up right away and notify the city, and we would.
Cal/OSHA's silica rules apply to the dust from cutting concrete, whether we're working in Mountain View, Sunnyvale or Palo Alto.

How much does concrete cutting cost in Mountain View?
Concrete saw cutting across the US usually costs about $4 to $15 per linear foot, and that's for the sawing, not for hauling the pieces off. Round pipe holes are core drilled and usually priced on their own, and on a small job a minimum or trip charge can outweigh the per-foot rate, so ask about it.
Does concrete cutting include hauling the concrete away?
Not always, because sawing and removal are separate jobs, and some cutters make the cuts and leave the panels where they are. Breaking, hauling and disposal can add more than the sawing itself, so ask any contractor. Our quote says plainly whether we're taking the pieces away or leaving them.
What saw do you use for indoor concrete cutting?
Indoors, the choice is an engine-powered saw with ventilation or moving air that meets OSHA standards, or an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic saw. Indoors or out is one of the first things I ask, because it decides which saw comes, and you can ask any crew which one they plan to bring.
What license covers concrete cutting in California?
California's Contractors State License Board puts concrete sawing, breaking and coring in its D-6 Concrete-Related Services classification. We're fully licensed and insured. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
