Woodward Concrete Cutting · Layton, UT

Wall and Wire Sawing in Layton and Across the Wasatch Front

Wall sawing and wire sawing let us cut clean, square openings straight through vertical and thick concrete. We cut doorways, windows, and egress windows into basement and foundation walls, add vents and mechanical penetrations, and make cuts on an angle when the job calls for it. For oversized, extra thick, or hard to reach concrete, wire sawing gets to columns, piers, mass concrete, and deep below grade cuts a wall saw can't. Every cut is controlled so the wall you're keeping stays sound, with the dust and slurry kept in check. Call or text for a free estimate anywhere from Ogden down to Salt Lake City.

Why a controlled cut matters

A wall opening is permanent, so it's worth doing right the first time. A controlled saw cut gives you a straight, square edge and keeps the load path intact, instead of a hammered out hole that spider cracks into the concrete you're keeping. That matters even more here in Northern Utah, where freeze and thaw cycles and shifting soil will find any weak spot in a foundation over time. We also control dust and slurry as we cut, which keeps your basement or job site clean and meets OSHA silica rules. Do it clean and square once, and the wall stays strong around the new opening for good.

How it works

How a wall sawing job goes.

01

You call or text

Tell us the wall thickness, where it is, and what opening you need. We'll give you a free estimate, and we can bid a lot of jobs right over text if that's easier.

02

We plan the cut

We look at access, mark a clean square layout, and pick a wall saw or wire saw for the job. We'll point out anything worth knowing, like whether an opening needs support above it or how much digging the outside will take.

03

We cut clean and haul

We make the opening square and controlled, keep dust and slurry in check, and carry off the concrete we removed. You're left with a clean opening and a wall that's still sound around it.

Good to know

Wall and Wire Sawing questions, answered.

How much does it cost to cut an opening in a concrete wall?
It depends on the wall thickness, whether it's above or below grade, and how big the opening is, so we give you a free estimate before any work starts. Folks tell us all the time that our price came in the fairest of everyone they called. Send us a few details by call or text, and we'll get you a number.
What's the difference between wall sawing and wire sawing?
A wall saw runs a blade on a track and is great for openings in walls up to a certain thickness. Wire sawing pulls a diamond wire through the concrete, which lets us cut oversized, extra thick, or hard to reach pieces like columns, piers, and mass concrete that a blade can't reach. We pick whichever one fits your wall and your access.
Can you cut an egress window into my basement?
Yes, that's one of the most common jobs we do. We cut a clean, square opening into the basement or foundation wall for an egress window, and we're happy to talk through how much excavating is really involved on the outside before we start.
Do you work for homeowners or just contractors?
Both. We cut single openings for homeowners, and we're a steady hand for general contractors, builders, and property managers who need it done right and on the day we said. We'll make time for small jobs too, not just the big ones.
Will cutting an opening weaken my wall?
Not when it's done right. A controlled saw cut keeps the edges clean and square and protects the concrete around the opening, and we'll flag it if an opening looks like it needs a header or extra support so you can plan for it. That beats breaking a hole out and cracking the wall you're trying to keep.
How soon can you come out?
Usually quick. We're known for responding fast and coming out on short notice, and we've saved more than a few tight schedules. Reach out and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.
Do you cut both interior and exterior walls?
Yes, interior and exterior, residential and commercial, across Davis County, Weber County, and the Salt Lake area. We control dust and slurry as we go, so your space stays clean whether we're inside a finished basement or outside on a foundation.
