Your home has more concrete than you might think. The driveway, the front walk, the back patio, the porch steps, and the shed pad all take a beating year after year from weather, traffic, and time.
Papaneri & Sons Concrete has served homeowners in Cherry Hill and across South Jersey since 1987. We are a family-owned, ACI certified, licensed and insured contractor, and three generations of our family have poured concrete for these same neighborhoods.
We handle residential concrete from start to finish. That means the layout, the base prep, the pour, the finish, and the cleanup, all with one crew you can reach directly instead of a string of subcontractors.
Whether you are adding new concrete, replacing a tired old slab, or finally fixing that trip hazard by the front steps, we do it once and do it right so you are not calling someone back in a year.

Whatever the concrete job is around your home, our crew has poured it hundreds of times across South Jersey. Here is the work we take on most for local homeowners.
New driveways, widenings, and full replacements poured with a 4500 PSI mix, proper grading, and clean edges that hold up to daily use and heavy vehicles.
Backyard patios, front walks, and entry steps in broom, smooth, stamped, or colored finishes, shaped and sized to match your home and your yard.
Shed bases, air conditioner pads, hot tub pads, and garage floors poured level and reinforced for the load they carry, so they never sink or tip over time.
When a slab is worn, cracked, or sunken, we repair it if it is sound and replace it when it is not, and we tell you honestly which one makes sense.
Most homeowners call us for one job and end up handling three at once, because it is cheaper to have the crew and the truck on site for a single visit. A driveway, a walk, and a set of steps poured together match in color and finish and cost less than three separate trips.
We also work in phases when a budget calls for it. If you want the driveway now and the patio next spring, we plan the base and the grades so the later pour ties in cleanly to what we do first.
A good slab is built from the ground up. Most of the failures we see on other crews' work trace back to a rushed base, not the concrete itself.
We start by excavating to the right depth and compacting a stone base that drains well. In South Jersey soil, drainage is what keeps a slab from heaving when the ground freezes and thaws all winter.
We use a 4500 PSI mix, stronger than the code minimum for most residential work. Then we place control joints at the right spacing so the concrete cracks where we plan it to, not where it shows.
We reinforce with rebar or wire mesh where the load calls for it, especially on driveways and slabs that carry vehicles. That steel is what holds a slab together when the ground moves underneath it.
Finally, we finish and cure the surface properly. Rushing the cure is a common shortcut that leads to a weak, dusty surface within a year, so we take the time to let the slab gain its strength.
We size the reinforcement to the job instead of using one approach for everything. A walkway that only sees foot traffic does not need what a driveway that parks two vehicles needs, and matching the two keeps your cost honest.
Every pour also gets the right expansion joints where the new concrete meets a house, a garage, or an existing slab. That gap gives the concrete room to grow in summer heat without pushing against the structure and cracking.
The best time to plan a concrete project is before the busy season. Spring and fall book up fast in Cherry Hill and the surrounding towns, so a little lead time gets you a better spot on the schedule.
Some jobs need a township permit, especially work in the right of way like a sidewalk or a driveway apron. We handle the permit process so you do not have to chase paperwork or sit through inspections.
Weather matters too. We watch the forecast and avoid pouring in a hard freeze or heavy rain, which protects the strength and the finish of your new slab. A pour done in the wrong conditions never reaches full strength.
We serve homeowners in Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Marlton, Mount Laurel, and Haddonfield. See all of the concrete services we offer to plan your project, or start with a new concrete driveway installation if the driveway is your first priority. We can also bundle several jobs into one visit to save you money.
We give you a realistic timeline up front, including the cure time before you can walk or drive on the new surface. Concrete is not a same-day material, and knowing the schedule helps you plan around the work with no surprises.
If your project touches a shared driveway, a sidewalk, or a property line, we sort out the details before we start. Handling those questions early keeps the job moving and keeps you on good terms with the neighbors.

New concrete is easy to care for, but a little attention early on adds years to its life. The first year matters most, while the slab is still gaining its full strength.
We recommend sealing your concrete after it cures and every few years after that. A good sealer keeps out water and road salt, the two biggest threats to concrete in New Jersey winters.
Avoid using rock salt or harsh de-icers on fresh concrete. Sand gives you traction without eating at the surface while the slab is still young and vulnerable to pitting and scaling.
Keep water draining away from the slab. Clogged gutters and low spots that pool water are the quiet cause of most early cracking and settling, and they are easy to fix before they do damage.
That is really all it takes. Seal it, keep salt off it, and keep water moving away from it, and a Papaneri slab will serve your home for decades.
Watch the edges of your slabs in the first winter. Frost tends to work on the corners and edges before anything else, so keeping salt off and water draining away protects the spots most likely to chip.
If you ever see a small crack or a low spot forming, call us early. A minor fix caught in the first year or two is quick and cheap, while the same problem left alone can grow into a full section replacement.
When you hire us, you get a family business that has poured concrete for your neighbors for decades. Our reputation is built one driveway, one patio, and one set of steps at a time.
Three generations of the Papaneri family run every job. You talk to the people doing the work, not a middleman or a salesperson who never shows up on pour day.
Our crews are trained to industry standards and fully insured, so your home and your investment are protected from the first day to the last.
We give you a clear written price and a straight recommendation. If a smaller fix will do the job, we will say so instead of upselling you.
The same crew handles your whole project, so the finish on your patio matches the finish on your walk and everything ties together.
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours. Wait about a week before driving on a new driveway so the slab reaches enough strength to safely carry a vehicle without cracking.
Yes. When a Cherry Hill or South Jersey township requires a permit, especially for sidewalks or driveway aprons, we pull it and handle the inspection for you so you never have to deal with the paperwork.
We match finish and color as closely as possible, though new concrete always looks brighter at first and blends over time. Call Papaneri & Sons at (856) 354-9338 for a free estimate and to talk through your options.
