OUR HISTORY
Founded in 1974, A-Core Concrete Cutting, Inc. got its start from humble beginnings as the entire operation was ran from the back of a yellow station wagon, known as “Old Yeller”. Rooted in integrity, hard work, honesty, and a determination to succeed, the original founders of A-Core relied on superior customer service and a dedication to quality work. This steadfast commitment helped the company to earn a strong and well-respected reputation in the concrete cutting and specialty contractor industries. A-Core honors that ambition and dedication has improved the quality of life for countless individuals.
