Wall Sawing in Modesto
Openings cut into concrete walls — doors, windows, and vents — with a saw that runs on a track bolted to the wall.
How wall sawing works
A wall saw runs on a track mounted to the wall, so the cut is straight and the corners come out square. It is how openings get cut into poured walls and tilt-up panels without breaking up the concrete around them.
The usual work is door and window openings, vents and duct openings, and cuts that free one part of a structure from another before demolition. The saw is remote-operated and cuts wet, so it works in occupied buildings.
Openings are cut in sections small enough to handle safely, and the cut-out piece can be removed as part of the same job.
What wall sawing is used for
- Door and window openings in poured concrete walls

Questions
How thick a wall can be cut?
Wall saws cut through most poured walls and panels found in commercial buildings. Tell us the wall thickness and what is on the other side, and the estimate will cover how the piece comes out.
Will the opening have square corners?
Yes. The saw runs on a mounted track, so the lines are straight, and the corners are finished so the opening takes a frame the way it should.
