Concrete cutting in Tuscaloosa AL - clean, straight cuts with less dust

Across the US, slab saw cutting usually costs about $4 to $15 for each foot of cut, as a national guide. Reinforced or deeper slabs commonly cost more per foot, indoor work may too, and on a small job a minimum charge can set the price more than the rate. Your estimate gives the figure for your job.

Possibly, since the City of Tuscaloosa requires permits for new construction, demolitions, remodels and alterations, and its list doesn't name concrete cutting on its own. We check with the permit office for your address before we start and pull the permits our part of the job needs. A cut into a public street also needs the city's Street Cut Permit.

On a residential permit application, the city wants the contractor's city general contractor's license number, unless an exception applies. A project valued at $10,000 or more also needs a State Homebuilders License, with the same exception, so ask any contractor for those numbers before the work starts.

Not always, because sawing and removal are separate jobs, and a cutter may make the cut lines and leave the panels where they sit. When you compare quotes, ask whether each one covers hauling the pieces off or the sawing alone. Our written estimate says which it is.

Usually water and power, because a concrete sawing trade group's specification makes the owner responsible for both. We settle that when you book, and we agree before we start how the slurry, the gray mix of water and concrete dust the blade leaves, gets collected and taken away.
