Concrete cutting in Hermosa Beach CA - straight cuts with the dust kept down
Need a cracked stretch of driveway, a floor or a wall opening cut? We cut it straight, wet and on lines you've approved.
What does concrete cutting involve?for a Hermosa Beach home
Concrete cutting in Hermosa Beach usually starts with a change you want to make, like taking out a cracked stretch of driveway, opening a slab for new work or cutting a doorway into a foundation wall. Done right, the edge comes out straight and clean, so whatever goes in next, like a new driveway section or a patio, meets it neatly.
The price mostly follows how many linear feet we cut and how deep, since thicker concrete and rebar, the steel bars that reinforce a slab, slow the blade down. A wall opening takes more work than a flat cut, and tight access adds time. The schedule turns on the saw, any city permit and the days the city allows work, and your written estimate gives you the figure for your cut.
The parts you can't see matter here too. A doorway in a foundation wall or a cut out by the street can bring city paperwork, so we sort out any permit before cutting day instead of stopping halfway to deal with it.
You can count on a straight cut, a clean site and a plain answer on cost, so call (424) 414-1585 when you're ready.
Concrete cutting for slabs, floors and walls
We match the saw to where the cut sits and how thick the concrete is, because a driveway, a floor inside the house and a foundation wall each call for different tools.
Driveways and sidewalks
Flat sawing uses a walk-behind saw with a large diamond blade, and it's the usual way to cut driveways, sidewalks and patios. It leaves a straight edge for new concrete to meet.
Floors inside the house
The same flat saw cuts garage and interior floors, and when we're working indoors we plan the water, the cord run and the cleanup before we start.
Openings in foundation walls
A door or window opening in a foundation wall takes wall sawing, which is a different saw and setup than a floor cut. We lay it out so the opening lands square for whoever frames it.
Why homeowners choose Bedrock Hermosa Beach Concretefor cuts close to home
Working with us means talking with the person who does the work, getting straight answers to your questions and having your site, your neighbors and the street treated with respect.
I write your estimate myself
I come out to look at every job and write the estimate myself, and on cutting day I work right alongside our crew, so the person who measured your cut is at the saw.
Licensed and insured on your property
We're licensed and insured, and that matters when a saw is running against your foundation or out at the edge of the street.
Lines marked with you first
We settle which saw fits the cut, whether it's a floor, a driveway or a wall opening, then mark the lines with you before we start, so nothing gets cut by guesswork.
Slurry cleaned up, not washed away
Wet cutting leaves a gray slurry behind, and we clean it up instead of letting it run toward a storm drain, so your street and your neighbors' curbs stay clean.
A framer's eye on openings
I framed houses for years and learned concrete under a seasoned finisher, so I cut an opening knowing the next trade has to build square off it. We've been in business since 2021.

From call to clean cutwith the owner on site
You deal with one person from the site walk to the cleanup, and you have a written estimate in hand before any saw comes off the truck.
You call or send the form
Call (424) 414-1585 or send the form with where the cut sits and what it's for. We set a time for me to come out and see it.
Site walk and written estimate
I walk the site with you and talk through what you'd like and what the city or county may ask for. Then you get a written estimate.
Permits handled ahead of time
Once you approve, we handle the permit application and book any inspections. For work in the right-of-way, the public strip along the street, the city asks for the application at least 1 to 2 weeks ahead.
Cutting day
I'm on site with the crew while we cut. Hermosa Beach allows construction weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with none on Sundays or national holidays.
Cleanup and walkthrough
We haul off the cut pieces and clean the work area, then I walk the finished cut with you. Before we leave, I go over what comes next for the opening or the slab.
Concrete cutting questions
How much does concrete cutting cost in Hermosa Beach?
Professional concrete cutting across the US usually costs about $3 to $10 per linear foot, and that's a national figure, not our price. Where your cut lands depends on how thick the concrete is, whether there's rebar in it and whether it's a flat cut or a wall opening. The written estimate after I see the site gives you the number for your job.
Which saw cuts a doorway in a foundation wall?
A wall saw cuts a door or window opening in a foundation wall, not the walk-behind flat saw used on floors and driveways. On very thick or heavily reinforced walls, a wire saw may be brought in instead of the wall saw, or alongside it, to finish sections the blade can't reach.
Do I need a permit to cut concrete in Hermosa Beach?
A doorway or window cut into a foundation wall alters your house, and Hermosa Beach's Building and Safety Division plan-checks alterations to existing buildings before it issues a building permit. Any work in the right-of-way needs the city's Right of Way permit. For a flat cut on your own lot, the division is the place to ask, and if a permit is needed, we take care of it as part of our steps.
How do I get ready for a concrete cutting crew?
Approve where the cut goes, mark anything set into the concrete on or near the lines, and pick an outdoor tap and outlet the crew can use. One industry specification puts the marking and approval on the owner before any cutting, and has the owner provide water and power. I go over all of it with you at the site walk.
How do I keep concrete dust out of my house during cutting?
Hire a crew that cuts wet, because water on the saw blade substantially reduces the dust from cutting concrete, brick or block. We cut wet, and when you're comparing crews for a cut inside or beside your home, it's a fair question to ask each one.
What license covers concrete cutting in California?
California's contractor licensing board counts concrete sawing, breaking and coring as concrete related services work. Hermosa Beach also asks for proof of a State Contractor's License before it issues a Right of Way permit, so a cut out by the street needs a licensed contractor.
