About Our Process:

Prompt and Prepared +

We understand the demands of each project and strive to schedule our involvement as conveniently as possible to suit your needs. Our operators make every effort to be at the job site fully prepared with the proper equipment. Our company will also be equipped with backup saws, ensuring that nothing stands between you and the completion of your project.

Reliable Service +

Because of our size, we have back-up operators as well as back-up equipment whereas smaller companies have fewer trucks, operators and equipment. If there were to be a breakdown, we have the back-up resources to maintain our flow of operations on site without disruption. This is the kind of reliability that other smaller companies can't provide.

Clean and Precise +

Saw cutting is not just about making the cuts, it’s about making those cuts as accurately and efficiently as possible and then leaving the job site as clean and organized as it was when you arrived. Diamond understands this challenge. That why all our operators lay down protective plastic, vacuum up excess slurry, and clean any other areas affected by our cutting. We strive to be a totally self-contained service, leaving the job site with only the desired cuts behind.

Non-Intrusive +

The last thing a job-site superintendent needs is another resource to worry about. Diamond supervises all of its operators as well as their impact on the project and the surrounding area. Considerations are taken for noise, environment, and situational concerns. We go above and beyond to ensure that no additional headaches are created as a result of our involvement in the project.

Professional and Thorough +

At Diamond, our industry professionals have seen thousands of projects over the years and are able to offer insights that go beyond sawing and cutting. Although we are not engineers and can't provide advice on structural or engineering issues, the overall awareness of our operators allows us to notify you of logistical or technical challenges related to your cutting requirements that other companies might miss. The result is that the job is done right the first time and problems are identified early on so they don’t affect the completion of the project.

Environmentally Friendly +

In an effort to be as environmentally conscious as possible, Diamond focuses heavily on recycling and other environmentally friendly practices as necessary. Most of the concrete that is removed from our job sites is recycled and used for road base. In addition to recycling leftover concrete, Diamond recycles all steel bits and blades, oil, hydraulic fluid, transmission fluid and antifreeze.

As with all our projects, we put a high priority on safety, quality, and service.
