Concrete cutting in Pembroke Pines is sawing a straight line through a driveway, patio, floor, sidewalk or wall, so a broken section can come out, a trench can go in for pipe or wire, or a new door or window can open up. The concrete you're keeping is left with a clean edge instead of a chipped, jagged one.
Most calls start with something specific, like a cracked driveway section that has to go, a plumber who needs a trench through a garage floor, or a new doorway in a block wall. The price mostly moves with how many feet of cut there are, how thick the concrete is, what steel is inside it and whether it's a floor or a wall. The schedule turns on the scan, any permit the city wants and whether an engineer has to look first, and you'll get your own number once I've seen the slab.
How our concrete cutting jobs run
Before we cut, we scan the slab so we know what's inside it, because steel and pipes don't show on the surface and the saw doesn't care what it hits. Rebar, the steel bars that hold a slab together, is one thing, but post-tension cables, steel strands pulled tight inside some slabs, are another, and if you want a big opening in a slab with cables in it, I'll ask for an engineer to look at what that opening does to the slab before we cut. Then we match the saw to the surface, a walk-behind saw for floors, driveways and sidewalks and a track saw that rides a rail bolted to the wall for door and window openings, since the rail is what keeps a wall cut straight. Last, we choose a wet or dry cut based on the space and the mess you can live with.
Cutting is often step one of a bigger job. When a cracked or sunken section comes out of a driveway, we can pour the new piece as part of our concrete driveway building work, digging out and packing the base underneath so it doesn't settle like the old one did. The same goes for a patio you're widening or patching, which ties into concrete patio construction.
Concrete cutting in Pembroke Pines and the permits that come with it
In Pembroke Pines, the city's Engineering Division issues Engineering permits for construction work on private property, in public rights-of-way and in easements, so that's the office that decides what your cut needs. When your job needs a permit, we take care of the application and the paperwork the city asks for as part of the work, and if it's unclear whether yours does, we check with the city before anything starts. A cut that reaches a public sidewalk or swale has its own rule, which I cover in the questions below.
A lot of the cutting we do here is at the front of the house, where a driveway apron meets the swale and sidewalk, so we ask early whether your cut runs past your property line. If the broken concrete needs a roll-off container, the city requires Waste Pro for it, so that's the dumpster you'll see. We're based in Pembroke Pines and work across the cities around it in Broward and Miami-Dade, and we make the same driveway-to-swale cuts on jobs in Miramar and Davie.
Why call us for concrete cutting
I walk your slab myself
I come out to look at your job myself, and I'm on site with our crew when we cut. The person who looked at your slab and explained the price is there when the saw starts.
Licensed and insured, here's what to ask
We're fully licensed and insured. Pembroke Pines asks contractors who register there for a state or Broward County license plus general liability and workers' comp coverage, and in Florida a certified license works statewide while a registered one covers only the cities or counties where the holder is certified locally, so ask anyone you hire which kind they hold.
Explained before anything gets cut
I started this business in Pembroke Pines in 2023, after spending every summer through school on concrete crews. I'd rather take extra time at the estimate explaining why we cut where we do than leave you guessing, and the work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

Frequently asked questions
How much does concrete cutting cost in Pembroke Pines?
Professional concrete cutting across the US usually costs about $3 to $10 per linear foot of cut, and that's the market's range, not a quote from us. Where your job falls depends on how thick the concrete is, what steel is inside it and whether it's a floor or a wall. Send us what you want cut and we'll go over it on site.
Do I need a separate permit to cut a public sidewalk or swale in Pembroke Pines?
Yes, the city wants its own permit for a cut in a public sidewalk, swale or road, separate from the Engineering permit for the rest of the work. On most streets the sidewalk and grass swale out front sit in the public right-of-way, so a driveway cut that reaches them usually brings in that second permit. We handle the paperwork, so just tell us how far your cut runs.
What is the best way to check for rebar or cables before cutting a slab?
The usual way is a ground penetrating radar scan, which images what's inside the concrete so crews can find rebar, post-tension cables and conduits before cutting. It usually works from one side of the slab, and the results get marked right on the surface, so everyone sees what sits in the cut line. If it turns up cables and you want a large opening, that's when the engineer review I mentioned above comes in.
How much dust and mess does concrete cutting make?
Every cut makes either dust or a wet slurry, and the method decides which. Wet cutting keeps dust down but turns the cuttings into slurry that has to be vacuumed up or contained, while dry cutting, common with smaller hand saws, relies on the blade and a vacuum. One saw maker's manual warns that the dust can contain crystalline silica, and breathing a lot of it, or breathing it over and over, can cause serious or fatal lung disease, including silicosis, which is why we settle the method and the cleanup with you before we cut.
How long does concrete cutting take?
The sawing itself is usually the quicker part, and the bigger swings in schedule come from what has to happen first, like a permit for a right-of-way cut or an engineer's review of a big opening. Thick concrete adds time too, since a walk-behind saw only cuts as deep as half its blade in one pass and anything deeper takes extra passes or a different method.
Do I have to provide water and power for concrete cutting?
Sometimes, because one trade group's flat sawing specification makes the owner responsible for providing water and power to the cutting contractor. Ask whoever you hire who supplies them on your job before you book, so nobody's scrambling for a hose or an outlet on the day.
Work that often goes with a cut
Concrete driveway building
When a cracked or sunken driveway section comes out, the gap needs a new pour on a packed base so the patch sits level with the rest.
Concrete patio construction
If you're widening a patio, adding a drain line under it or replacing a broken corner, the new concrete has to tie in cleanly with what stays.
