What concrete cutting does for your house
Concrete cutting in Novato, CA gets you a clean opening in concrete that's already down. At Alliance Novato Concrete we saw straight cuts through slabs and walls and core drill round holes for pipes, drains and conduit. Usually it's a worn section of driveway or patio coming out, a trench for a line or a new opening in a wall, often ahead of a new concrete driveway or a bigger concrete patio.
The job picks the saw. A flat saw rolls across floor slabs, a wall saw runs on a track, a hand saw reaches tight spots, and a wire saw handles thick or heavily reinforced sections, while small openings usually get a core drill. Sawing makes slurry, a gray mud of water and concrete dust, and Marin County's stormwater program says to seal off storm drains while cutting and vacuum or shovel it up.
Price moves with how thick the concrete is, how much steel is in it, whether it's a slab or a wall, how easy it is to reach and whether the pieces get hauled off. The schedule turns on whether a scan comes first and whether the cut reaches the sidewalk or street. I'll give you your own number once I've seen it in person.

How a cutting job runs
Call or send a message
Call or send a message, and we'll ask where the cut goes, how big it is and whether you want it hauled away, because removal is often its own line.
I come out and look
I come out myself, size it up and give you an estimate. If the cut touches the building's structure, a structural engineer should be on the plan from the start.
We cut and clean up
We handle the paperwork, including any traffic control plan the city must approve before a sidewalk or lane is blocked, then cut, clean up and walk the job with you.

What people ask before a cut
How much does concrete cutting cost in Novato, CA?
Professional concrete saw cutting across the US usually costs about $4 to $15 per linear foot, and reinforced or deeper slabs and wall sawing cost more per foot. On a small job, a minimum or mobilization charge, the fee for bringing out the crew and saws, can matter more than the rate. You get your own number at the estimate.
Does the price of concrete cutting include hauling the concrete away?
Not always, because sawing concrete and removing it are separate jobs, and a cutter may leave the cut panels in place. Breaking, hauling and disposal can add more than the sawing itself, so check whether a quote includes removal. Round holes are core drilled and priced apart from saw cuts, so they may sit on their own lines too.
When does concrete cutting near the street need an encroachment permit in Novato?
You need one before any construction work starts in the public right-of-way, the public strip along the street, or in a creek or other watercourse, and the City Engineer or a designee signs it. When your job needs one, we handle the city's encroachment permit paperwork and put in writing who's pulling it.
What license does a contractor need for concrete cutting in California?
The state contractors board lists concrete sawing, breaking and coring under its concrete related services contractor class. So the cutting, the breaking out and any core holes on your job are the kind of work that class is written for.
