Where Cougar Started: Concrete Cutting & Core Drilling in Fort Myers & Naples

Cutting is where Cougar Companies began. In the 1980s Cougar was the first concrete cutting and core drilling company in Southwest Florida, and many of the cutting outfits working in the region today were started by people who learned the trade here. Everything else Cougar builds grew out of it.

Today our cutting division runs its own trucks every day for general contractors, site contractors, municipalities, hospitals, airports, commercial owners and homeowners, from a single core in a day to cutting and breaking work that runs for weeks. And when the job is ours too, cutting is scheduled with our own utility, excavation and concrete crews instead of waiting on another sub.

  • ✓Cougar crews and Cougar equipment on every job, no subcontracting
  • ✓Diamond blades and wet cutting for clean edges and less dust
  • ✓Core drilling for utility tie-ins, penetrations and anchors
  • ✓Careful work around existing structures and occupied buildings

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Cutting

What concrete cutting methods does Cougar Companies use?

We use diamond sawing, core drilling, wall sawing, in-house wire sawing, and controlled concrete breaking. Each method is selected based on the project requirements, and our technicians are trained to choose the best approach for clean, precise results on projects throughout Fort Myers, Naples, and Southwest Florida.

How much does concrete cutting cost in Fort Myers?

Concrete cutting costs in Fort Myers depend on the cutting method, material thickness, and project scope. Simple flat sawing is typically more affordable than wall sawing or wire sawing for thick structural elements. Contact Cougar Companies for a free assessment and quote for your project in Lee or Collier County.

Can you cut concrete without damaging surrounding structures?

Yes, our diamond blade technology and controlled cutting methods are specifically designed to make precise cuts with minimal vibration, dust, and impact on surrounding structures. This makes our services ideal for renovation and modification projects in occupied buildings across Southwest Florida.

Does Cougar Companies do core drilling in Southwest Florida?

Yes, core drilling is one of our specialty services. We drill precise circular openings through concrete, block, and stone for utility penetrations, HVAC installations, and structural modifications, and we have drilled cores over 60 inches in diameter and more than 40 feet deep using extensions. We work throughout Fort Myers, Naples, and the surrounding area.

How deep can Cougar Companies cut concrete?

We wall saw to about 30 inches deep and slab saw to about 3 feet deep. For deeper or larger sections we use our own wire saw, which is not limited by blade size, and core drilling can go more than 40 feet deep using extensions. The right method depends on the structure, so we match the setup to each job.

What is diamond sawing and when is it needed?

Diamond sawing uses industrial diamond-tipped blades to cut through concrete, asphalt, and masonry with precision. It is needed for creating door and window openings, expansion joints, control joints, and removing sections of concrete during renovation projects. Cougar Companies provides diamond sawing services across Lee and Collier County.
