    Patio floor
    I have a enclosed patio with a existing concrete floor I need to remove a portion of it in order to level the floor. What is the best way to do this?

    Thanks

    I guess its raised up and you need to remove the high spot?

    A 'Partners saw'(gas powered circular saw) with a diamond blade to score the concrete(if your trying to make a square edge to finish too)otherwise, a sledge hammer,electric jack hammer,or renting a high output compressor and air hammer.

    Oh yeah,, LOTS of labor:)

    Hope this helps,

    They also make a grinder for bigger sections to use, lots of dust but no cutting and sledge hammering,

    If it's a low spot just use a resurfacer
