Serving New Brunswick, NJ and surrounding areas. (732) 633-0675
New Brunswick Concrete Company is a concrete contractor serving Paterson, NJ. We handle decorative concrete, driveway replacement, concrete steps, and flatwork for Paterson row houses and multi-family buildings - and we know how to work in tight urban lots where access is limited. We respond to every inquiry within 1 business day and pull all required permits through the City of Paterson.
Paterson has thousands of front entries, rear patio spaces, and narrow side yards where plain concrete has been sitting untouched for decades. A stamped or stained decorative surface is one of the most cost-effective ways to bring the outside of a row house or multi-family building in line with how the inside looks - without the cost of a full exterior renovation. We build decorative surfaces on a base engineered for Passaic County freeze-thaw cycles so the finish holds through many winters. Read more on our decorative concrete page.
Row houses and attached homes throughout Paterson have front stoops that were poured 80 to 100 years ago. Freeze-thaw cycles have cracked risers, flaked treads, and separated many of these stoops from the building foundation. Crumbling steps on a block this densely built are a safety hazard for residents and visitors alike. We demolish old steps, rebuild the base, and pour new concrete steps finished for traction and properly sloped to drain water away from the entry.
Driveways are not common in Paterson's densest blocks, but properties on the edges of the city and in neighborhoods like the Westside or Bunker Hill often have them - narrow strips of concrete that have been patched rather than replaced for years. When an original Paterson driveway fails, freeze-thaw heaving and missing base preparation are almost always the cause. We tear out the old surface and pour a correctly based, properly thick replacement built for the vehicles and winters it will face.
Properties near the Great Falls and along Paterson's sloped terrain often need retaining walls to manage grade changes between the yard and the street or neighboring lot. Old masonry walls in Paterson have mortar that is 80 or more years old - crumbling joints and leaning faces are common. A poured concrete retaining wall handles the soil load and the local freeze-thaw cycle more durably than patched brick and requires far less maintenance over time.
Property owners in Paterson are responsible for the sidewalk section in front of their building, and the city does flag deteriorated sections. Given the age of the housing stock, many sidewalks in the Eastside, Westside, and surrounding neighborhoods were poured during the mid-20th century and have never been replaced. Heaved joints, missing chunks, and uneven surfaces are common trip hazards on nearly every block. We pull the required permits and pour replacements that meet city standards.
Parts of Paterson near the Passaic River sit in areas with documented flood risk, and homes in lower-lying sections of the city have dealt with water intrusion at the foundation level for decades. Foundation raising - lifting a structure to create more clearance above grade - is one approach to reducing recurring flood damage. We work on the concrete and masonry components of foundation raising projects for Paterson residential properties where grade elevation is the right solution.
Paterson was founded in 1792 as the first planned industrial city in America, built around the power of the Great Falls of the Passaic River. By the early 1900s the city was fully built out, and most of the housing stock you see today dates from that industrial boom era. Census data shows that the majority of Paterson homes were built before 1950. That means foundations laid over a century ago, original concrete stoops and sidewalks from the same period, and clay-influenced soils that have been shifting under those slabs ever since. When you combine very old concrete, no original gravel base, and Passaic County's hard freeze-thaw winters, you get a city where surface cracking and heaving are normal on nearly every block.
Paterson is also one of the most densely populated cities in New Jersey, with roughly 160,000 residents packed into 8.4 square miles. Lots are narrow, homes share walls, and access for a concrete truck or equipment is rarely straightforward. Many properties have no side yard, no rear alley, and street parking that makes delivery logistics a real planning problem. A contractor who does most of their work in suburban settings will underestimate what a Paterson job actually requires - in preparation time, in equipment choice, and in coordination with neighboring properties and the street.
New Brunswick Concrete Company works in Paterson and pulls permits through the City of Paterson Division of Construction and Zoning as part of standard project management. We know this city is not a single uniform neighborhood - the Eastside, Westside, and Great Falls district each have different property types, lot configurations, and access conditions. A row house near Hinchliffe Stadium has different concrete needs and different site constraints than a multi-family building closer to the Passaic River.
Broadway and Market Street are the main commercial corridors that most Paterson residents use as reference points, and the residential blocks fanning out from them cover a wide range of housing types - from narrow attached row houses to slightly larger detached homes in the Bunker Hill area. We come to every Paterson job having thought through parking, delivery routes, and neighbor impact before the crew shows up.
We also serve nearby Passaic, which shares many of the same older-housing and tight-access challenges as Paterson, and Union City, another dense urban setting where we work regularly on row house concrete.
We will ask a few basic questions about what you need and where the property is located. You will hear back within 1 business day to schedule an on-site estimate - no phone quotes for concrete work, because the actual site conditions always determine the real scope.
We measure the area, check existing concrete and the base underneath, and walk you through your options for finish and design. We also assess access - how a truck gets to the site, where material can be staged, and whether there are any neighbor or street-access issues to plan around. Most estimates take less than an hour and you are not required to be home.
We handle all permit applications with the City of Paterson before any work begins. Permit processing typically adds a few business days to a couple of weeks to the timeline. Once the permit is in hand, you get a confirmed start date. Cost for the full scope is agreed on in writing before we schedule - no surprises on the invoice.
The crew handles demolition, base preparation, forming, the pour, and finishing in sequence. We keep the site clean as we go and haul away all debris. After curing, we apply sealer and walk the finished work with you. If anything is not right, we address it before we close out the job.

(732) 633-0675Paterson is one of the oldest and most historically significant industrial cities in the United States. Founded in 1792 around the power of the Great Falls of the Passaic River - now a National Historical Park - the city grew rapidly through the 19th and early 20th centuries as a center for silk, locomotive, and manufacturing industries. That growth produced the dense residential fabric that defines Paterson today: block after block of brick row houses and two- and three-family homes built between the 1880s and the 1930s. Neighborhoods like the Eastside, Westside, and Bunker Hill each have their own identity, but most share the same housing character - older brick construction, narrow lots, small front yards, and front stoops that have been there since the building was new.
The city covers 8.4 square miles and is home to roughly 160,000 residents, making it one of the most densely populated cities in New Jersey. The area around Hinchliffe Stadium - a restored Art Deco landmark and former Negro League baseball venue - represents the kind of historic built environment that defines Paterson at its best. We also serve nearby Passaic and Linden for homeowners looking for concrete work across the broader northern and central New Jersey area.
