Cutting concrete looks simple until it goes wrong. A rushed cut cracks the slab you meant to keep and throws dangerous dust all over the job site.
Papaneri & Sons Concrete has cut, poured, and repaired concrete across Cherry Hill and South Jersey since 1987. We are family owned, ACI certified, licensed and insured.
We handle saw cutting, core drilling, control joint cutting, and slab openings for driveways, floors, patios, and commercial work of every size.
Because we pour and repair concrete every week, we have watched how slabs behave before, during, and after a cut. That is what keeps our cuts clean and the surrounding concrete intact.

Cutting covers a lot of jobs, from a straight saw line to a round hole through a slab. We have the right equipment and blades for each one.
Straight, clean cuts through slabs, driveways, and floors to remove a section, open a trench line, or square up an edge for a new pour to tie into.
Round holes bored through concrete for pipes, conduit, drains, and utilities, sized precisely to whatever needs to pass through the slab or wall.
Cut joints that give a slab a planned place to crack, so it moves with temperature and shrinkage without splitting across the open surface.
Cutting out sections for repairs, new drains, or utility work, leaving clean edges that make the next step of the job easier.
Depth and precision are what separate a clean cut from a damaged slab. We set the blade to the exact depth the job calls for, so we open a joint or free a section without cutting into anything below the concrete.
For core drilling, the diameter and angle have to be exact so the pipe or conduit fits and seals the way it should. A hole that is off by a little can mean a leak or a redo, so we measure carefully before we drill.
Concrete cutting throws off dust and slurry, and the blade does not forgive mistakes. We plan the cut carefully before we ever start it.
We mark the cut line and check for what is inside the slab, from rebar to conduit and pipes, before a blade ever touches the concrete.
We wet cut wherever we can. Water on the blade controls the fine silica dust, which is a real health hazard, and keeps the blade cool for a cleaner, straighter cut.
The right blade matters just as much. We match the blade to the material, whether it is a hard cured driveway, a reinforced floor, or a fresh green slab.
When the cut is done, we clean up the slurry and debris, so your driveway, floor, or lot is left tidy and safe to walk on.
We protect the surrounding area as carefully as we protect the cut. Covering nearby surfaces and controlling where the slurry runs keeps a cutting job from leaving stains and grit across the rest of your property.
Our crews are trained on the equipment and the hazards. A concrete saw and a core rig are powerful tools, and running them safely around a home or an occupied business is a skill built over years, not picked up overnight.
Cutting shows up in more projects than people expect. Here is when a call to us saves you a cracked slab and a headache.
For repairs, we saw-cut a clean line around a damaged section so the good concrete stays put when we remove the bad part and repour.
For utilities, core drilling makes a clean pass-through for a new pipe, drain, or electrical line without cracking the slab around the hole.
Cutting often kicks off a bigger job. See all of the concrete services we offer in Cherry Hill, or read about our concrete removal service, since a cut section usually needs to be broken out and hauled away next.
Cutting is also key when you are adding on to a home or building. Tying a new addition into an existing slab means cutting a clean, straight edge so the new concrete bonds and the two surfaces sit flush.
For drainage projects, we cut channels and openings for new drains and trench lines. A precise cut keeps the work tidy and makes the plumbing or grading that follows go far more smoothly.

The joints in a slab are not an afterthought. They are what keep concrete from cracking wherever it wants to, so they get planned from the start.
Control joints are cut into a slab to create a weak line, so when the concrete shrinks and moves, it cracks neatly along that joint instead of across the field.
Expansion joints leave room between slabs, or between a slab and a building, so the concrete can grow in the heat without pushing against and buckling the next section.
Getting the spacing and depth right is the whole trick. A joint cut too shallow or too far apart lets a brand new slab crack across the open field within a year.
We place and cut joints to match the size and use of each slab, which is one of the quiet reasons our pours stay looking good for the long haul.
Timing matters on new pours too. Control joints cut too late let a slab crack on its own first, while joints cut at the right window guide every crack neatly onto the lines we planned for it.
On an existing slab that was never jointed, adding cut control joints can stop random cracking before it starts. It is a small, inexpensive step that saves a much larger repair down the road.
We cut concrete as part of pouring and repairing it every week. That means our crews have seen how slabs behave before, during, and after the cut, not just how to run a saw.
Three generations of the Papaneri family have worked concrete across South Jersey, cutting included, and you deal with the family directly.
Our crews are trained to industry standards and fully insured, so your property and our workers are both protected on every job.
We wet cut and clean up the slurry, so the job site stays safe from silica dust and your property stays clean when we leave.
Because we also remove, repair, and pour, we can cut, break out, and rebuild all with one crew and one point of contact.
No, not when it is done right. We saw a clean control line and check for rebar and utilities first, so the concrete you are keeping stays intact and crack-free.
Yes. We wet cut wherever possible, which controls the dangerous silica dust and keeps the blade cool for a cleaner cut, then clean up the slurry when we finish.
Yes. We core drill clean holes through slabs and floors for pipes, drains, and conduit. Call Papaneri & Sons at (856) 354-9338 for a free estimate on your cutting job.
After a section is cut, we break it out and haul it away, then prep the base for a new pour.
