Circular Saws & Angle Grinders

Cutting the deck, the tile, or the metal cleanly is what makes the rest of a roof come together. On site, we keep circular saws and angle grinders on hand for the moments a job calls for a precise, on-the-spot cut instead of a factory edge — squaring off decking at a valley, trimming tile to fit a hip, or grinding a clean line through metal near a penetration.

Where these tools come in

  • Decking — Straight, square cuts when sheathing needs to be trimmed or replaced during a tear-off.
  • Tile — Controlled cuts around hips, ridges, and penetrations without shattering the field tile.
  • Metal — Fast, accurate trimming of flashing, panels, and trim where a saw is the right tool for the material.

Working alongside other tools

These saws and grinders rarely work alone. Reciprocating saws handle old fasteners and rotted sections nearby, hole saws cut clean vent and pipe openings, and tin snips finish the tight hand-fit work at chimneys and sidewalls where a powered blade can't reach.
