Concrete Cutting Cost & Pricing Guide
OCSD provides solutions and services for all of your concrete sawing, drilling, and demolition needs across Ohio, West Virginia, Northern Kentucky, Southern Michigan and Eastern Indiana. We have the manpower and equipment to accomplish projects of any size. Pricing for concrete cutting varies widely because every project is different—thickness, depth, reinforcement, access, and the required accuracy all affect how long the job takes and what equipment is needed. Our local experience means you get the right solution at a reasonable price.
Why Pricing Varies And How OCSD Ensures Fair Estimates
Concrete cutting isn't a one‑size‑fits‑all service. Costs are influenced by factors such as slab thickness, whether there is rebar or mesh inside, how far the crew must travel, and site conditions like limited access or working inside occupied buildings.
OCSD emphasizes transparent, upfront pricing across its Nashville, Davidson County, and Bowling Green service areas. We provide cost‑effective solutions for complex projects and stress transparent pricing with fast response times. Each job begins with a conversation to define the scope and, when needed, a site visit to provide an accurate quote. On specialty removal projects, our ability to remove large pieces typically reduces cutting costs. We encourage clients to share concerns so our team can deliver an accurate price.
Our mission is to deliver quality service quickly at a reasonable price. In our county‑specific pages, we pledge clear, upfront pricing with no surprises and competitively priced solutions. The goal is to provide a realistic estimate tailored to your job so you can plan with confidence.
What Affects Concrete Cutting Costs?
Several variables determine the final cost of a concrete sawing or drilling job. Understanding these factors helps explain why estimates can vary and why an on‑site evaluation often precedes a quote.
Concrete thickness and reinforcement
Cutting through a 4‑inch residential patio is very different from slicing a 12‑inch industrial slab with heavy rebar. Thicker, reinforced concrete requires larger saws, more diamond blades, and greater labor time, increasing cost.
Cutting method
OCSD offers slab sawing, wall sawing, core drilling, wire sawing, and curb cutting. Each method has different equipment costs and production rates. For example, wall sawing may require track‑mounted saws and more setup time than flat‑slab cutting.
Access & site conditions
Jobs in tight indoor spaces, sensitive facilities (hospitals, schools), or upper floors often take longer to set up and clean up. OCSD has crews stationed across our service area and will travel with fully equipped trucks to handle projects efficiently, but difficult access can still affect pricing.
Depth, length & precision requirements
Longer cuts, deeper trenches, or angled openings require more time and blade wear. Precise openings for doorways or HVAC penetrations may involve multiple passes with specialty equipment.
Environmental & safety requirements
New OSHA silica standards require water application, HEPA vacuums, and protective equipment. Working around active businesses or in occupied buildings may also necessitate noise and dust control measures.
Because of these variables, OCSD often recommends a job walkthrough or site visit for complicated projects. The Pricing Estimates page explains that, in many cases, a site visit is necessary to provide an accurate job estimate. Clients can speed up the process by sending prints or pictures to the estimating team.
Average Costs By Service
Cost information on OCSD's website is primarily available through our quoting process. We do not publish per‑foot or per‑hole price lists; instead, we offer competitive pricing and encourage customers to request an estimate. Because each project is unique, the figures below describe typical cost structures rather than fixed numbers:
Slab sawing
Pricing is usually calculated per linear foot. Rates depend on slab thickness, depth of cut, whether the work is indoors or outdoors, and whether removal is included. OCSD's ability to remove large pieces can reduce cutting costs. Ideal for trenches, doorway cut‑outs, and slab removal.
Wall sawing
Typically priced per square foot or per lineal foot of cut. Costs vary with wall thickness, height, and whether cuts must be made from both sides (up to 60 inches thick). Used to create openings for doors, windows, or HVAC penetrations; OCSD provides competitive pricing.
Core drilling
Usually charged per hole based on diameter and depth. OCSD's equipment can drill virtually unlimited depths (record depth 120 ft); greater depths and larger diameters increase costs. Suitable for plumbing, electrical, and anchor holes. OCSD accepts prints/pictures to speed estimating.
Specialty cutting
Includes horizontal curb cutting, wire sawing, robotic demolition, and custom openings. Pricing depends on setup complexity, access, and equipment used. Specialized equipment and removal techniques (e.g., DXR robots) can lower overall cutting costs. Contact the OCSD team to discuss your unique project and receive detailed pricing.
Why Cheap Concrete Cutting Can Cost More
Hiring the lowest‑bid contractor may seem appealing, but cutting corners often leads to higher costs and headaches down the road. Common risks of bargain‑rate cutting include:
Damage to the structure – Inexperienced operators can over‑cut or crack surrounding concrete, requiring additional repairs. OCSD's crews use trained operators and modern equipment, reducing the risk of structural damage.
Inaccurate cuts – Poorly executed cuts may not meet design specifications, forcing rework or redesign. OCSD emphasizes precision and quality with state‑of‑the‑art saws and drills, ensuring your openings are the right size.
Project delays – Unreliable contractors can slow down schedules, causing costly delays. OCSD promises fast response times and efficient mobilization across our service territory.
Safety & liability risks – Cutting concrete produces dust, noise, and vibration. OCSD invests in silica‑dust controls and trains employees in OSHA requirements, reducing liability for property owners.
Paying a little more for a reputable contractor like OCSD often saves money overall by ensuring quality, safety, and adherence to schedule.
How OCSD Prices Projects
OCSD's pricing process is transparent and tailored to each job. Key steps include:
Initial consultation & site evaluation
Clients can call or submit an online form to request a quote. For complex jobs, OCSD recommends a site visit to accurately assess slab thickness, access, environmental constraints, and other factors.
Defining the scope
Customers provide prints or pictures to outline the required cuts or holes. OCSD clarifies depth, length, orientation, and removal needs so the quote covers the complete scope of work.
Commercial‑grade equipment & trained operators
OCSD uses advanced saws, drills, curb‑cutting machines, and even robotic demolition tools. Equipment choices influence pricing: high‑cycle wall saws can reach deeper cuts, while DXR robots minimize vibration and can reduce overall cutting costs.
Transparent quote
After evaluating the job, OCSD delivers a clear, detailed estimate. Our local pages repeatedly promise clear, upfront pricing. Customers can expect line‑item descriptions and no hidden fees.
Project execution & follow‑through
Once approved, OCSD schedules the work promptly. Crews arrive with fully equipped trucks and complete the project safely and efficiently. If you require specialized demolition or removal, OCSD will propose the most cost‑effective method.
