Wall Sawing Services | Concrete Cutting in Glendale, AZ

Wall sawing is a specialized concrete cutting method used to create precise vertical or angled cuts in concrete walls, foundations, and other structural surfaces. Unlike jackhammering or general demolition, wall sawing uses a track-mounted circular blade with a diamond edge to produce straight, clean cuts with minimal vibration.

At Adam’s Concrete Cutting and Demolition, we provide professional wall sawing services for residential, commercial, and industrial projects across Glendale, AZ. Whether you need to create a new window, expand a doorway, or modify structural walls, our team delivers accuracy and safety every step of the way.

How Wall Sawing Works

Wall sawing is typically performed using a hydraulic or electric-powered saw mounted to a track system that is secured to the surface being cut. This allows the saw to move smoothly along the concrete wall at a controlled depth and angle.

Key Features of Wall Sawing:

Diamond-tipped blade
Precise depth control (up to 30"+ deep)
Horizontal, vertical, or angled cuts
Minimal dust and noise with water suppression

It’s ideal for load-bearing and reinforced concrete, where clean, non-destructive cuts are critical to safety and function.

When Is Wall Sawing Needed?

Wall sawing is often used in construction, remodeling, or demolition projects where access or layout changes are required. You might need wall sawing for:

1. Creating Openings for Doors & Windows

Need a new entry or window in a concrete or CMU wall? Wall sawing creates straight, square openings while preserving the rest of the structure.

2. Modifying Load-Bearing Walls

Structural changes often require precise cuts to maintain the integrity of concrete or reinforced walls. Wall sawing ensures modifications don’t cause cracking or instability.

3. Basement Egress Compliance

Many Arizona homes are adding basement egress windows to meet code. Wall sawing is the safest, cleanest way to create compliant openings.

4. Ventilation, Duct, and Utility Access

HVAC systems, electrical conduit, or piping sometimes need direct wall access. Sawing is the cleanest way to cut through masonry without damaging adjacent surfaces.

5. Retrofitting Commercial Buildings

Office remodels, warehouse upgrades, or medical facility conversions often require door relocations, ADA upgrades, or new utility routes. Wall sawing makes this possible without full demo.

FAQs About Wall Sawing

What materials can be wall-sawed?
Concrete, cinder block, stone, and some types of masonry. We use different blades and setups depending on the material.

How thick can you cut with wall sawing?
Up to 30 inches in depth depending on wall type and access. We’ll evaluate your wall before starting.

Is wall sawing safe indoors?
Yes. We use electric saws with minimal fumes for indoor projects and contain water and slurry with barriers.

Does wall sawing affect structural integrity?
Not when done professionally. We cut only where needed and often work with engineers to support load-bearing modifications.

How long does it take to wall saw a window or door opening?
Most standard openings are cut and cleaned in a few hours. We can remove and haul away debris the same day.

Local Project Example: Doorway Cut in Historic Glendale Home

In early 2025, a Glendale homeowner hired Adam’s Concrete Cutting to create a new side door from their garage to the backyard. The concrete block wall was structural and over 10 inches thick.
