## The honest read

Concrete Cutting 1, also doing business as Affordable Concrete Cutting, is a Saugus, MA outfit built around one precise job: cutting, coring and sawing clean openings into concrete that other trades then finish around. The company says it has worked the trade for more than a decade, covering the North Shore down through the South Shore and MetroWest and into southern New Hampshire and Maine.

Every review on file — 18 of them, running from 2021 to this spring — is five stars, and reviewers keep circling back to the same thing: a hole cored exactly where it was needed, with the crew in and out the same day. In a January 2026 review, a homeowner described the crew coring a hole for a sump pump in Saugus with clear communication and fair pricing start to finish; in another from the same month, a longtime customer needed a hole cut for a split AC line-set and called the crew the best in the business. A February 2026 review described a job asking for 21 cored holes, all finished in a single day. Older reviews tell the same story — a 2024 review recalled Scott and his crew staying accommodating even though a landscaping job on-site got in their way, and a 2021 review credited a technician named David with pulling off a difficult job cleanly.

There's no negative review anywhere in the record to weigh against that, though only two reviews land in the last six months against 18 all-time — worth keeping in mind even though nothing in what's there points to a problem. Its Houzz listing also shows a different phone number and web address than the company's main site, so it's worth confirming which contact to use before calling.

For a precise cut or cored opening in a foundation, slab or wall — the kind of job that's expensive to fix if it goes wrong — this is a company customers keep hiring again for exactly that.

**Strengths:**
- Precision core drilling — reviewers repeatedly praise clean, exact holes
- Perfect review record — 18 straight five-star Google reviews since 2021
- Same-day turnaround — customers describe fast, single-day completion

**Concerns:**
- Recent review count — only two Google reviews since March 2026

**Where sources disagree:**
- Houzz lists a different phone number and website (508-283-3135, concretecutting1.com) than the company's own site (781-233-7717, affordableconcretecutters.com), though the business name and service area match
