Concrete Cutting

Concrete cutting requires precision, specialized equipment, and years of hands-on experience to execute properly. Whether you need an egress window installed, a foundation opening created, or reinforced concrete removed for a renovation project, the quality of the cut can determine the structural integrity of your entire construction. Poor cuts lead to cracking, water infiltration, and costly repairs that could have been avoided with the right contractor from the start.
Prodigy Contracting brings over 20 years of construction expertise to concrete cutting projects throughout Bismarck, ND, Mandan, ND, and surrounding communities. Dave Schauer and his team handle everything from residential egress windows to large-scale commercial demolition, using professional-grade equipment that can cut through slabs up to 20 inches thick and drill core holes up to 20 inches in diameter. We serve the broader North Dakota region, including Dickinson, Williston, Watford City, and Killdeer.
Why Professional Concrete Cutting Matters
Cutting concrete isn't something you want to leave to chance or inexperienced hands. The difference between a professional cut and an amateur attempt becomes immediately apparent in the finished product. Professional concrete cutting creates clean, precise openings that maintain the structural integrity of your foundation, walls, or slabs, ensuring a safe and stable environment. Amateur cuts often result in jagged edges, unnecessary damage to surrounding areas, and potential safety hazards that compromise your entire project.
The equipment makes all the difference. Professional contractors utilize diamond-blade saws, wall saws, and core drilling equipment specifically designed for concrete work. These tools create smooth, controlled cuts that minimize vibration and prevent cracking in adjacent areas. Hand tools or rental equipment simply can't deliver the same precision, especially when you're working with reinforced concrete, precast materials, or foundation walls that require cuts from multiple angles.
Our Concrete Cutting Capabilities
We handle concrete cutting projects of all sizes throughout North Dakota.
Residential and Commercial Applications
Our residential services include egress window installations, basement door openings, plumbing and electrical trenches, and foundation modifications for home additions or remodels. For commercial projects, we cut concrete for HVAC installations, utility access, structural modifications, and large-scale demolition work. No project is too big or too small for our team to handle with the same level of professionalism and attention to detail.
Our equipment can cut concrete slabs up to 20 inches thick, enabling us to handle most residential and commercial applications. We drill core holes up to 20 inches in diameter for plumbing penetrations, electrical conduit, HVAC ductwork, and other utility installations. Foundation cuts are possible up to 12 inches from one side, or up to 24 inches when both sides of the wall are accessible.

The Prodigy Contracting Difference
​
Dave Schauer has spent his entire life in the Bismarck and Mandan area, building relationships and a reputation based on honest, reliable, and trustworthy work.
Experience and Reliability
​
With over 20 years of construction experience, we've encountered virtually every concrete cutting challenge imaginable. We've worked on new home construction, major remodels, commercial buildings, and everything in between. That experience translates directly into better results for your project, as we know how to anticipate problems before they occur and resolve issues quickly when they arise.
We treat every project with the same level of care and attention, whether we're cutting a single egress window for a homeowner or handling large-scale commercial demolition. Communication remains a priority throughout the entire process. We show up when we say we will, we complete the work on schedule, and we keep you informed every step of the way. You won't have to wonder about our progress or chase us down for updates.
Comprehensive Construction Services
​
Concrete cutting often represents just one piece of a larger construction project. When you work with Prodigy Contracting, you gain access to a full range of construction services that can take your project from concept to completion. After we cut an opening for your egress window, we can handle the window installation, frame out the well, and complete any interior finishing work. Planning a basement remodel? We'll cut the concrete for new walls or doorways, then finish the entire space with framing, drywall, and trim work.
Our capabilities extend to new home construction, home additions, remodeling, deck construction, pole barn buildings, and bobcat services. This comprehensive approach means you work with one contractor who understands your entire project rather than coordinating multiple companies that may not communicate effectively with each other. Everything from demolition to final touches happens under one roof with consistent quality standards and clear accountability.
Serving Western North Dakota
​
We focus our advertising and outreach efforts in Dickinson, Williston, Watford City, and Killdeer because these communities deserve access to professional concrete cutting services without having to search extensively for qualified contractors. Western North Dakota continues to grow, and that growth creates demand for construction services that meet high standards for quality and reliability. We travel throughout the region to bring our services to where they're needed most, ensuring that distance doesn't prevent you from getting the professional results your project deserves.
The climate in North Dakota requires construction work that can withstand extreme temperature swings, moisture cycles, and the general wear and tear that come with harsh winters and hot summers. We don't cut corners because we understand that your concrete work needs to stand the test of time in these conditions. Every cut we make is executed with precision and care to ensure long-term durability and performance.
