A concrete floor takes constant abuse from foot traffic, vehicles, and heavy equipment. When it is poured right, you never think about it again, and that is exactly the goal.
Papaneri & Sons Concrete has installed floors across Cherry Hill and South Jersey since 1987. We are family owned, ACI certified, licensed and insured, and we pour floors for homes and businesses alike.
We pour garage floors, basement floors, shop and warehouse slabs, and interior floors for new additions. Every one is built for the load it carries and the way the space will be used.
The difference between a floor that lasts and one that cracks is almost always what happens under the concrete. We build the whole system, not just the top layer.

Different floors carry different loads. We match the thickness, reinforcement, and finish to how the space will actually be used, so you never pay for more than you need.
Poured to handle vehicles, tools, and jacks, with a smooth finish that is easy to clean and ready for an epoxy coating or a sealer.
Level interior slabs with a vapor barrier underneath to keep ground moisture out of a finished basement, along with proper drainage where it is needed.
Thicker, reinforced floors that stand up to forklifts, racking, and heavy machinery in commercial and industrial spaces without cracking or spalling.
New floors for additions, garages, and outbuildings, poured to tie cleanly into the existing structure and built for the loads the space will see.
The use of the space drives every choice we make. A hobby garage and a working repair shop might look the same, but the shop floor needs more thickness and reinforcement to carry lifts, jacks, and heavy rolling loads day after day.
For finished spaces like a basement living area, we focus on a dead-flat, low-moisture slab that is ready for tile, vinyl, or carpet, so the flooring above it lasts and never traps dampness underneath.
A floor slab is a system, not just a layer of concrete. Each step protects the one on top of it, and skipping any of them is what leads to cracks later.
We start with a compacted stone subbase for uniform support, then lay a vapor barrier on interior floors to block ground moisture from rising through the slab.
We add rebar or wire mesh sized to the load, then place our 4500 PSI mix and screed it dead level, so there are no low spots that pool water, oil, or dust.
We float and finish the surface to the right texture, whether that is a smooth trowel for a garage or a harder finish for a shop that takes heavy traffic.
Finally, we cut control joints at the right spacing. Proper joints let the slab move with temperature and shrinkage without cracking across the open field of the floor.
We pay close attention to the pour sequence on a large floor. Placing and finishing concrete in the right order across a big slab is what keeps the surface consistent and prevents cold joints where two pours meet.
On floors that will carry heavy loads, we can thicken the slab under specific areas like a lift, a rack, or a piece of equipment. Building that support into the pour is far cheaper than reinforcing a cracked floor later.
The finish decides how a floor looks, how easily it cleans, and how much grip it has. We match it to the room and how you will use it.
A smooth trowel finish is the standard for garages and shops. It cleans easily, resists dust, and takes an epoxy coating or a sealer well when you want extra protection.
A polished finish gives a hard, low-maintenance surface with a light sheen, which is popular for showrooms, finished garages, and any space that needs to look sharp.
We also seal floors to resist stains, dust, and moisture. See all of the concrete services we offer in Cherry Hill, or read about our garage floor concrete if a garage is your project. We can walk you through which finish fits your budget and use.
The finish also affects safety. A floor that sees water or oil can be given a slightly textured surface for grip, while a spotless showroom or storage space can take a smooth, polished look that cleans with a mop.
We talk through how you will actually use the space before we pick a finish. A garage that doubles as a workshop has different needs than one that just parks a car, and the finish should match how you live in it.

How thick a floor needs to be comes down to the load it carries. Guessing high wastes your money, and guessing low leads to cracks you will be repairing for years.
A typical residential garage or basement floor runs four inches thick with wire mesh, which handles cars and normal use with plenty of room to spare.
Shop and warehouse floors go five to six inches or more with rebar, sized to the forklifts, racking, and equipment that will sit on and roll across them.
The reinforcement matters as much as the thickness. Rebar and mesh hold the slab together as the ground shifts, which is what keeps small cracks from spreading.
We assess your use and your soil before we pour, so you get a floor that is strong enough for the job without paying for concrete and steel you do not need.
Joint layout matters as much as thickness on a big floor. We plan control joints on a grid sized to the slab, so a large warehouse or garage floor cracks along clean lines instead of wandering across the open field.
We also slope floors to drains where a space needs it, like a wash bay or a garage that sees snowmelt off vehicles. Getting that pitch right keeps water moving instead of standing and freezing on the surface.
A level floor is harder than it looks. Screeding a large slab perfectly flat takes a crew that has done it hundreds of times and knows how concrete behaves as it sets.
Three generations of the Papaneri family run every job, from a single home garage to a full warehouse slab, and you deal with us directly.
Our crews are trained to industry standards and fully insured, so your project is protected from the subbase to the final finish.
We pour home garages and basements as well as shop, warehouse, and industrial floors, all built to the same high standard.
We size the thickness and reinforcement to your actual use, so the floor holds up under exactly what you put on it.
A home garage or basement floor is usually four inches with wire mesh. Shop and warehouse floors go five to six inches or more with rebar, based on the equipment and load they carry.
For any interior or basement floor, yes. A vapor barrier blocks ground moisture from rising through the slab and damaging finishes, flooring, or anything stored on it.
