Concrete Hand Sawing Services

Concrete Hand Sawing Services

When concrete cutting projects have limited access or require extra precision, hand sawing provides the flexibility and accuracy you need. 

At Detroit Diamond Drilling, we provide professional hand sawing services for residential, commercial, and industrial projects across the Greater Detroit area and beyond. Our technicians use lightweight, portable saws equipped with diamond blades for precise results in tight spaces and sensitive areas where larger equipment simply won’t cut it.

What Is Hand Sawing?

Hand sawing is a specialized concrete cutting technique that uses portable, handheld saws to make precise cuts in concrete, masonry, and other hard materials. Its ease of control keeps results accurate, while its lack of vibration causes minimal disruption. This method is a great alternative to bulky equipment in confined spaces and around obstacles.

It’s commonly used to:

  • Cut concrete in tight spaces or around existing structures
  • Create precise control joints and expansion joints
  • Remove concrete sections near utilities or sensitive equipment
  • Perform detailed demolition work requiring advanced precision
  • Make cuts in areas with limited access or clearance

When to Use Hand Sawing

Hand sawing is often the best solution when space limitations, precision requirements, or site conditions rule out other cutting methods. Our diamond blades, sourced from Diamond Products and Husqvarna, cut through reinforced concrete, brick, block, and stone with ease, accuracy, and minimal mess. 

We use hand saws for many applications, including:

  • Cutting around existing plumbing, electrical, or HVAC systems
  • Creating openings in cramped basements, crawl spaces, or utility rooms
  • Performing precision cuts for decorative concrete or architectural features
  • Removing concrete in areas where larger equipment can’t access
  • Making repairs or modifications in occupied buildings with minimal disruption

I've been going to DDD for over 30 years. My office and our projects are about 10 miles north of their shop and my yard is probably 20 miles north of their shop. That says it all. Worth every mile every time.

I buy most of my parts at DDD and I have always had a great customer experience. I mostly appreciate their knowledge of the products they sale. For the customer that had a unpleasant encounter, I'm black and I get it. But everything is not about race. We all can have a bad day or something weighing on our mind.
