Concrete cutting is a specialty that requires the right saw, blade, and control for a clean cut every time. Cortez Concrete provides cutting and coring services throughout Tempe, including near Downtown Tempe and Corona del Sol area.

We're a third-generation, family-owned concrete company built on the kind of work ethic you'd expect from a business run by a working firefighter — precise, dependable, and built to hold up under pressure.

Why Tempe Property Owners Choose Cortez Concrete for Concrete Cutting & Sawing

Cutting concrete cleanly — without cracking beyond the cut line or damaging embedded rebar and utilities — takes the right equipment and experience. Tempe's older, denser lots mean tighter equipment access and mature tree roots that have to be worked around during excavation.

Here's what makes the difference on a Tempe project:

Expansion joint and demolition pre-cutting for clean, controlled removal
Core drilling for plumbing, electrical, and utility penetrations
Slab sawing for isolated panel repair without disturbing surrounding concrete
Dust and slurry control to keep job sites clean during cutting
Control joint sawing on new pours to manage cracking
Experience cutting through reinforced slabs without unintentionally damaging structural rebar

Local Knowledge for Concrete Cutting & Sawing in Tempe

Tempe permits through the City of Tempe, and its older, denser lots frequently mean tight equipment access and mature tree roots we have to work around during excavation.

As a built-out college town, most Tempe concrete work is replacement and renovation rather than new construction, which calls for careful demo next to existing structures.

That local knowledge is the difference between concrete cutting work that lasts and work that fails early — and it's why Tempe property owners keep calling Cortez Concrete.

Three Generations of Family-Owned Arizona Concrete

Cortez Concrete isn't a franchise or a fly-by-night crew. We're a family business, now in our third generation, built on the same values our grandfather started with — showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind it. Our owner still works as an active firefighter, and that same sense of discipline, safety, and attention to detail carries over into every project we pour in Tempe and across the Valley.

When you hire Cortez Concrete, you're not hiring a sales team — you're hiring a family that's put its name on Arizona concrete for decades.
