Need a cut, an opening or a hole through concrete?
Concrete cutting in Tinton Falls is sawing straight lines through slabs, cutting openings in walls and drilling round holes through concrete, so your project gets the exact cut it needs without breaking up more than it has to.
Most calls start with something else you're doing, like a drain line that has to cross the garage floor, a cracked piece of driveway you want gone or a basement wall that needs a doorway. The price turns on how thick the concrete is, whether there's rebar in it, the steel bars that tie a slab together, how much cutting there is and how easy it is to reach, and on a small job the trip to bring the saw out can count for more than the cut itself. The schedule mostly turns on whether the borough has to sign off first, and when it does, I handle that filing with you. My written estimate puts your number on paper before anything gets cut.
How we handle concrete cutting, start to finish
You tell us exactly what cut you need and where, and I pick the saw or drill that fits it, because the shape and spot of the cut decide the tool. A flat saw runs straight lines across a floor or slab, a core drill makes round holes for pipe and conduit, a wall saw cuts openings in walls, a hand saw gets into tight spots and shallow cuts, and a wire saw takes sections too thick or awkward for the rest. Before any blade touches the concrete, we scan it so we know what's inside. Then we cut wet to hold the dust down and contain the slurry, the gray water and cuttings the blade throws off, as we go so it doesn't run across your yard or garage.
Cutting is often the first step of a bigger job. When part of a driveway has cracked and sunk, we can saw out just that section on clean lines and pour it back as part of our concrete driveway building work. On a patio, a clean cut lets us tie a new section into the old one or open a path for a drain, and the pour after it falls under concrete patio construction.
Concrete cutting permits and rules in Tinton Falls
What your cut goes through decides the paperwork. The borough's Construction Official issues permits to alter or demolish a structure, and state rules don't count cutting a loadbearing wall, one that holds up the floor or roof above it, as maintenance you can skip a permit for, so a new opening in that kind of wall goes through the borough. If your job also needs zoning or another approval, the borough issues the permit only after that's in hand. Cuts that reach a curb, sidewalk or the street are their own matter, because borough rules call for a written application before anyone digs up pavement in the borough right of way, the public strip along the street. For a cut in a private driveway or patio, the rules we have don't settle it either way, so we check with the borough before we start and help you gather what they ask for and file it if they want a permit.
Most of what we cut is at houses, through garage floors, basement walls, driveways and walks, and we get the same calls on jobs in Eatontown and Red Bank. We're based in Tinton Falls and take jobs in the cities around it, so if you're not sure we come out your way, just ask.

What happens when you call Tinton Falls Concrete in Tinton Falls?
Call or send the form
Call (732) 532-0238 or send the form and tell us where the cut goes and what it's for. We set a time for me to come out and see it.
I measure and write it up
I look at the concrete, measure the cut and ask what's going in after it, then give you a written estimate with the price laid out. You'll know the number and how we plan to cut before you decide anything.
We sort out borough paperwork
If the borough needs a permit, it reviews within 20 days once every application, plan and spec is in, and most are done within a week when nothing's missing. That review, not the saw, usually sets the start date.
We scan, cut and clean up
My crew scans, makes the cut wet and contains the slurry, with me on site running it. Before we pack up, we walk the finished cut with you.
Why Tinton Falls homeowners call Tinton Falls Concrete for concrete cutting
The owner comes out and stays
I'm the one who looks at your job and writes the estimate, and I'm on site running the crew when we cut. The person who told you what the cut would look like is the one watching the blade.
In business since 2013
I started as a helper hauling forms and learned the trade pour after pour before I opened this business in 2013. That's 13 years of finding out what's inside a slab before it surprises anybody.
Licensed and insured in New Jersey
We're fully licensed and insured. New Jersey has businesses that do home improvement work, driveways, patios, garages and finished basements included, register each year with the Division of Consumer Affairs unless the law exempts them, so it's fair to ask any contractor about it.
Told when cutting won't fix it
If a slab is sinking because what's under it washed out or was never packed, a clean cut and a patch won't hold, and I'll say so at the estimate. I'd rather lose the cutting job than sell you one that doesn't solve anything.
If you know where the cut needs to go, tell us about it and I'll come take a look.

Questions about concrete cutting in Tinton Falls
How much does concrete cutting cost in Tinton Falls, NJ?
Professional saw cutting of accessible 4- to 6-inch slabs usually runs about $4 to $10 per linear foot across the US, so treat that as the national market, not our price. Thicker or reinforced concrete commonly costs more per foot, and on a small job a minimum or a mobilization charge, the set fee to bring the crew and saw out, can matter more than the footage. Your written estimate gives the real number for your cut.
Do I need a permit to cut concrete in Tinton Falls?
You do if the cut goes through a loadbearing wall, and a cut into a curb, sidewalk or street in the borough right of way needs a written application first. For a driveway or patio slab on your own property, the rules don't spell it out, so we check with the borough before we cut.
Why should concrete be scanned before cutting?
A scan shows where the steel, wiring and pipes inside the concrete sit, so the cut can be planned around them. Ground penetrating radar, a scanner that reads through the slab, picks up rebar, wire mesh, post-tension tendons, the tensioned steel cables in some slabs, electrical conduit and embedded pipes like radiant heating lines. Hitting any of those with a blade turns a simple cut into a repair.
How messy is concrete cutting inside or around a house?
Expect water and wet gray cuttings where we're working, because most flat, wall and wire sawing runs wet. Every sawing and coring method throws off silica dust fine enough to breathe in, and the water keeps it out of the air. We vacuum or contain the slurry as we go so it doesn't spread across your floor or yard.
How do I know which concrete cutting method I need?
You don't have to pick it, because the shape and spot of the cut decide the tool, and that's my job once I see it. What helps is describing the cut clearly when you ask for a quote: where it goes, how long or how big, what it runs through and what's going in afterward.
How do I cut a doorway into a concrete basement wall?
A wall saw cuts the opening, and a hand saw or cores finish the corners the big blade can't reach. If the wall is loadbearing, the permit comes before the saw. We scan the wall, cut it wet and leave you a clean opening to frame.
Work that often follows a cut
Concrete driveway building
When a section of your driveway has cracked, sunk or started pooling water, we can replace just that part or pour a new driveway on a packed base.
Concrete patio construction
If you're adding onto an old patio or starting fresh, a new slab with a solid base is set to send water away from your house.
