Wall sawing uses a track-mounted circular saw to cut straight, square openings in concrete walls. The saw runs on a guide track fixed to the wall, which is what keeps the cut straight and the edges clean. Spitellie Concrete Sawing is a family business based in Wheat Ridge, cutting concrete across the Denver metro since 1980.
When You'd Call for Wall Sawing
- A doorway, window or vent opening cut into an existing concrete or block wall
- A straight-edged opening for a duct, a pipe chase or a utility penetration
- Openings in precast concrete, like the boxes in the photos below
- Cutting through concrete barrier walls and parapets, from the ground or from scaffolding
The Engineer Decides Where; We Cut It
Whether a structural wall can be opened, and where, is your engineer's call; the cutter's job is to cut it cleanly to that plan. Because the saw is track-guided, it holds its line on depth and angle, which matters on a load-bearing wall where an uncontrolled cut can damage the structure around the opening.
Square Opening or Round Hole?
A straight-edged opening is wall sawing. A round hole for pipe or conduit is core drilling. Plenty of jobs need both, and we run both, so it's one call. Our article How to Cut a Hole in a Concrete Wall goes through how to tell which yours needs.
Who We Cut For
