Cutting-edge Quality and Performance you can count on.
Family Owned and Operated Since 1980 | Field Tested and Proven
G&F didn’t begin in a boardroom. It began at home, with two people who knew the work and believed they could do it better.
Greg Ferguson, a self-taught engineer and operator, ran the saws himself and asked, “How can this be done better?” Rita Vigil-Ferguson built the business on relationships grounded in transparency and accountability. In 1980, they put their name on the company and established values that continue to guide G&F.
That question still guides our work. We build custom saw trucks, develop operator training programs, and re-engineer tools and equipment to meet each project’s needs.
Many of California’s leading contractors return to G&F, project after project, because they trust us to bring that same commitment to every job.
Built by Builders is more than a tagline. It reflects who leads G&F and how we approach the work:
We support essential infrastructure through specialty concrete cutting, delivered by people who work with integrity, care, and accountability.
To be California’s most trusted specialty contractor, recognized for technical excellence, field-tested innovation, and a team whose work sets the standard.
We deliver precise, dependable concrete cutting, coring, and demolition with skilled union crews and field-engineered equipment.
You can count on our skilled team to show up prepared, perform with purpose, and stand behind our work.
G&F’s culture shows up in how our people work every day. Since 1980, our success has rested on a shared mindset—from apprentice to owner: work hard, work safely, solve problems, and look out for one another.
At G&F, people are treated like family. Leaders work alongside their crews, accountability is shared, and everyone takes pride in the results. Clients experience that commitment on every project and continue to call on G&F because of it. Our culture is one of our greatest competitive advantages.
We earn lasting trust as a specialty concrete cutting partner by delivering exceptional service and helping shape the industry’s future. Our disciplined growth is grounded in lasting relationships, operational excellence, and consistent execution.
Rita Vigil-Ferguson, co-founder and president of G&F, came to construction through a more personal path. When she and Greg married, Rita owned an art gallery. Together, they saw an opportunity to build something lasting: Rita brought the business vision; Greg brought the field expertise. They built G&F from the ground up.
For more than four decades, Rita has led with integrity, resilience, and a deep belief in creating opportunities for others. Under her leadership, G&F became certified as a Woman-Owned Business and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise. She saw these credentials as more than a way to compete for work: they were an opportunity to help broaden access across the industry.
Rita served on the United Contractors (UCON) Board of Directors through 2025 and continues to serve on the UCON PAC Committee. She also participates in labor negotiations and mentors the next generation through Women in Construction and the Laborers Training School.
As co-founder and CFO of G&F Concrete Cutting, Greg Ferguson is a self-taught engineer and operator who ran the saws himself and kept asking, “How can this be done better?” That question continues to drive the company.
Greg created Merit Saws, a high-performance line of cutting equipment. Drawing on decades of saw-cutting experience, he worked with longtime friend and engineer Juan Vielma to design a floor saw built for G&F’s work and its operators. The saw debuted at the 2011 World of Concrete, earning international recognition. Blount International acquired Merit in 2018, and Merit floor saws are now part of ICS’s product line.
Greg continues to champion Merit equipment, providing field support and training to operators. He brings that same combination of field expertise, engineering vision, and commitment to mentoring the next generation of operators to every project.
Alexis Ferguson DiMarco grew up in the concrete cutting industry, supporting G&F through high school and college. She went on to build a decade-long career in fundraising and nonprofit management and earned her master’s degree at NYU.
Alexis later returned to the family businesses, serving on G&F’s advisory board while building Merit Engineering’s marketing and sales operations. She also oversaw Merit’s subsequent acquisition by ICS/Blount.
Over the past year, Alexis has taken on a broader role at G&F. She is glad to support the company’s dedicated, talented team as they plan for G&F’s next 50 years of operational excellence and industry leadership.
