Do you need just the cuts or full removal?
Sawing and removing are two separate jobs, so it comes down to who deals with the pieces, and your written estimate lists what's included and what isn't.
Just the cuts are enough when:
- Another contractor is hauling it away
- You'll break it out yourself
- Your plumber will dig the trench
- The pieces can stay where they are
- You have a way to get rid of it
Cutting and removal make sense when:
- The pieces have to leave your property
- New concrete goes in right after
- You want one crew from start to finish
- There's no room to stack broken pieces
- You don't want to arrange disposal
How a cutting job runs
Call or send the form
You call or send the form with a few details about the cut, and we set up a time for me to come see it in person.
A site visit set
I come out and measure
I look at the slab or wall myself, measure the cut and walk you through your choices before anyone picks a saw or signs anything.
Your choices explained
Your written estimate
You get a written estimate and a step-by-step plan, and it says plainly whether we're only cutting or also breaking up and hauling the pieces.
A written estimate
Permits checked
Rules differ by city, so we check with the offices covering your address before we schedule, and if a permit's needed, we handle the paperwork and inspections.
Permits sorted out
We cut and walk it with you
Our crew makes the cuts and cleans up, and then I walk the finished work with you and answer anything you're still wondering about.
A finished walk-through
What our concrete cutting work includes
Layout and marking
We mark every cut line on the concrete and go over it with you, so the cut lands where you expect.
Checking what's inside
Before we cut, we check for rebar, the steel bars that strengthen a slab, plus pipes, conduit and cables.
Floor and slab cuts
Flat saws ride across driveways, patios and floors for straight trench lines and clean section removal.
Wall cuts and openings
Wall saws run on a track mounted to the wall, so cuts on vertical or steep surfaces stay straight.
Round holes for pipes
Core drilling bores round holes for pipes, drains and conduit, and it's priced apart from ordinary saw cuts.
Breaking and hauling, when quoted
If your quote includes removal, our crew breaks up the cut pieces and hauls them off your property.
What decides the cost of a concrete cut?
Most of the price comes from how much sawing there is and how hard the concrete makes it. Thicker slabs and concrete with a lot of rebar take longer and wear blades faster, and cutting a wall costs more per foot than cutting a floor because the saw has to be mounted and run on a track. On a short cut, the setup can make up most of the bill rather than the footage.
Where the cut sits matters too. A driveway apron out in the open is simpler than a basement wall in a tight corner, where a smaller saw and more care with dust and exhaust slow things down. If the pieces are leaving, that's work on top of the cuts, and your estimate lists it on its own line.
Why O'Fallon homeowners call us for concrete cutting
I started this business in O'Fallon in 2017 after years of building schedules, so every cut gets laid out in order before a blade touches concrete. We match the saw to the surface and thickness, and we check for anything buried in the slab before we cut, because finding a pipe the hard way is a far bigger problem than the time the check takes.
We're licensed and insured, and we work in cities across St. Charles County and St. Louis County. If the cut makes room for a drain line, St. Charles County requires the plumber or drainlayer to hold a county license before doing permit-required work, so ask whoever lays the pipe. Call (636) 614-2331 and I'll come take a look.

How much does concrete saw cutting cost in O'Fallon, MO?
Across the US, professional saw cutting of a concrete slab usually costs about $4 to $15 per linear foot, and that covers the sawing, not breaking or hauling the pieces. That's the going rate across the country, not our price. Your written estimate from me gives the figure for your cut.
Does the price of concrete cutting include hauling the concrete away?
Not always, because a cutter may make only the cut lines and leave the pieces where they are. Breaking, hauling and disposal can add more than the sawing itself, so ask whether removal is in any quote you get. Ours says which one you're getting.
What is the best way to cut a concrete slab or wall?
The best way is whichever saw fits the surface and its thickness. Beyond the flat and wall saws most jobs use, hand saws reach tight spots and small openings, and wire saws handle thick or heavily reinforced sections. I'll tell you which one your job calls for when I come out.
Do I need a permit for driveway work in O'Fallon?
You need a driveway permit from the city to replace or change the apron and sidewalk area, which sits in the city's right-of-way, or to widen a driveway anywhere on your lot. Replacing only sections behind the sidewalk up to the garage needs no driveway permit. For other cutting, the city's Building Division lists structural changes and demolition but doesn't name cutting itself, so we ask before we schedule, as we do on every job.
How do I cut an opening in a basement wall for a window?
Plan the support above the opening first, because it has to carry the wall overhead. One concrete cutting company's guide says a steel lintel, a beam across the top, rests on the wall at each side and is sized by the load and the wall's thickness, and it advises talking with a structural engineer or the lintel supplier before cutting. I'm glad to go through it with you at the estimate.
How do I know what's buried in my concrete before it's cut?
We check for anything buried in the slab before we cut, and a ground-penetrating radar scan can find rebar, pipes, conduit and cables you can't see from the surface. If a trench gets dug after the cut, Missouri law requires the excavator to notify the Missouri One Call System before certain digging, and utilities must mark their lines within two working days of the request. Private lines aren't marked that way, and Missouri 811 suggests a private locate company for those.
