Your front steps are the first thing visitors see and the last thing you think about until they crack, settle, or become a safety hazard. When that happens, you need a crew that knows concrete, not a handyman with a bag of ready-mix.
Papaneri & Sons Concrete LLC has been building steps and front stoops in Cherry Hill, NJ since 1987. We handle everything from a simple two-step entry to multi-level stairways with landings. Every job is poured with our standard 4500 PSI mix, which holds up to freeze-thaw cycles and heavy foot traffic far better than what most contractors use.
We are a licensed and insured New Jersey contractor, and we handle all township permits and inspections on your behalf. You get solid, good-looking steps without the paperwork headache.

Good steps start below the surface. Before we pour a single yard of concrete, we excavate the area, remove the old steps if needed, and prepare a compacted gravel base. This base prevents settling and gives the slab a stable foundation through New Jersey winters.
We build custom wood forms to the exact dimensions your steps require, factoring in riser height, tread depth, and any landing areas. Our crew reinforces every pour with rebar or wire mesh, which keeps the structure from cracking as the ground shifts over time.
We pour our standard 4500 PSI mix, which is stronger than the 3000 to 3500 PSI concrete that many contractors default to. This higher-strength mix resists surface scaling, handles road salt and de-icers better, and simply lasts longer under daily use.
After the pour, we finish the treads with a broom texture for slip resistance, protect the surface during the curing period, and come back to strip forms and clean up the work area completely. We do not consider the job done until everything looks the way it should.
New Jersey winters are tough on concrete. Freeze-thaw cycles push moisture into the surface, and when that moisture expands, it chips and spalls the top layer. Low-strength concrete fails fast under these conditions.
Every set of steps we build is poured with a minimum 4500 PSI mix. That extra strength means greater resistance to cracking, surface scaling, and damage from salt and ice melt. Properly built concrete steps can last 30 to 50 years with minimal maintenance.
We also reinforce all structural sections with steel rebar. The combination of high-strength concrete and steel reinforcement gives your steps the structural integrity they need to handle decades of use without settling or cracking apart.
Our steps are finished with a broom texture on every tread. This gives you a safe, non-slip walking surface in wet and icy conditions without looking rough or industrial. You get something that is both safe and sharp-looking from the street.
Concrete steps are not one-size-fits-all. We work with each homeowner to figure out the right configuration for their property, entry height, and personal style.
We can build straight front stoops, angled or L-shaped stairways, multi-level steps with intermediate landings, and steps combined with a front porch slab or walkway. We also offer a plain broom finish, a salt-finish for added texture, or an exposed-aggregate look if you want something with more visual character.
Concrete steps pair well with other concrete work on the property. A matching front walkway or porch pad gives your home a unified, polished look. Many of our customers combine a steps project with a sidewalk or patio when we are already on-site.
You can browse all of the concrete services we offer in Cherry Hill to find the right combination for your property. Popular add-ons with a steps project include Concrete Sidewalk Installation and Concrete Patio Construction for a complete front or backyard upgrade.

In Cherry Hill and most South Jersey townships, replacing or building new concrete steps requires a permit from the municipality. This is not optional. Unpermitted work can create problems when you sell your home or if a neighbor or inspector notices the project.
Papaneri & Sons manages the permit application and inspection process from start to finish. We know what Cherry Hill Township requires, and we build our steps to meet local code for riser height, tread depth, and setback from the property line.
Once the permit is approved and the work is complete, we coordinate the inspection with the township. You do not need to be an expert on municipal code or take time off work to meet an inspector. We handle the scheduling and make sure everything passes.
This permit-handling service is part of what we do, not an add-on cost. When you hire us, you get a fully permitted, inspected, and code-compliant set of steps. That protects your investment and gives you peace of mind.
When you hire Papaneri & Sons for your concrete steps, you are hiring a crew with 39 years of experience in this specific market. Here is what that means for your project.
We have been pouring concrete in Cherry Hill and South Jersey since 1987. This is not a franchise or a crew that showed up last season. Our reputation in this community is our business, and we protect it on every job.
We use 4500 PSI concrete as our standard, not our premium option. Most contractors use 3000 to 3500 PSI and call it good. Our mix holds up to freeze-thaw damage, road salt, and heavy use so your steps look good and stay safe for decades.
We pull all required permits and schedule inspections with Cherry Hill Township on your behalf. You get fully permitted, code-compliant steps without any of the paperwork.
Our work meets American Concrete Institute standards. ACI certification is not a marketing badge. It means our crew has been trained and tested on proper concrete placement, finishing, and quality control.
Most residential steps projects take one to two days on-site. That includes demolition of the old steps if needed, forming, pouring, and finishing. After the pour, concrete needs a minimum of 24 to 48 hours before you can walk on it lightly, and we recommend avoiding heavy loads or de-icers for about 28 days while it reaches full cure strength. We will give you a specific timeline when we assess your project.
Yes, in most cases replacing or building new front steps in Cherry Hill Township requires a permit. The permit ensures the work meets local code for dimensions, setback, and structural requirements. We handle the permit application and inspection for you as part of the job. You do not need to deal with the township directly.
Cost depends on the number of steps, the width of the entry, whether there is an existing stoop to remove, and any design details like a landing or handrail anchor. A basic two to three step front entry typically starts around $1,500 to $2,500. Larger stoops, multi-step stairways, or projects with complex forming run higher. The only way to give you an accurate number is to see the job in person. Call us at (856) 354-9338 and we will set up a free on-site estimate.
