Concrete cutting in South Burlington VT - clean cuts right where you need them
Need an opening in a wall, a trench in a slab or a hole for pipe? We plan the cut, then make it cleanly.
Concrete cutting for openings, trenches and repairs
Concrete cutting in South Burlington covers more than most people expect. It can be a straight cut across a slab, an opening in a wall or a round hole through the floor for a pipe, drain or conduit. Most calls come when something new has to go where concrete already sits, or when a cracked or sinking section has to come out before we pour a new concrete driveway or concrete patio.
We match the saw to the cut. Flat saws run across slabs, wall saws ride a track on a vertical face, hand saws reach tight spaces, and wire saws take on thick or heavily reinforced sections. I'd rather settle that choice at the site visit than on the day the crew arrives.
Your price moves with how long and deep the cut runs, how much steel is inside and whether it's a slab, a wall or a hole. The schedule turns on what the city needs first and how easily the saw reaches the spot. The written estimate gives you your own figure.
Concrete cutting, planned first
When the steps are taken in the right order, concrete cutting leaves you a clean opening or edge in the right place, made with a saw suited to the job.

Concrete cutting questions we hear
What does concrete cutting cost per foot in South Burlington?
Across the US, professional concrete saw cutting usually runs about $4 to $25 per linear foot. Reinforced or deeper slabs cost more per foot, round holes for pipe and drains are core drilled and priced on their own, and on a small job the cost of bringing the equipment out can matter more than the footage.
Who handles permits for concrete cutting in South Burlington?
South Burlington's Development Review Board reviews construction work, though some jobs need only an administrative permit from the Zoning Administrator. Work in the City right-of-way along a street needs a permit from the Department of Public Works. We check what your job needs before setting a date and help you file it, and the city's permit page lists 802-846-4106 for questions.
Does a concrete cutting contractor need to register in Vermont?
Yes, when a home job runs over $10,000.00 in labor and materials, the contractor has to register with Vermont's Office of Professional Regulation before contracting with you. That covers renovation and repair of a home as well as new construction, so it's a fair question to ask anyone you're considering.
Can concrete be cut safely inside a basement?
Yes, with the right saw and water on the blade. Gasoline saws give off carbon monoxide, and workers have died using one in a basement, so enclosed spaces call for hydraulic or pneumatic saws. We cut wet because water on the blade cuts the dust down a great deal, and concrete contains crystalline silica.
Should a concrete slab or wall be scanned before cutting?
Many cutting jobs call for a scan first, because ground-penetrating radar can find rebar, the steel bars that strengthen concrete, along with steel cables, conduit and pipe you can't see from the top. Finding them first lets the cut be planned around them, and I'll talk through whether your job needs a scan when I walk the site.
