Call (877) 610-1318

We’ve been working in the 90703 for a long time, and the homes here have a character you don’t find in the newer tracts going up around the county. That’s why we treat every Cerritos driveway as its own small engineering project, not another square on a route sheet. Permits get pulled, the base gets built to handle Cerritos soil, and the price we quote is the price you pay.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cerritos’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and the name on the truck is the name that answers when you call. His sons run the crews, and most days you’ll find one of them on-site in Cerritos, not just a logo back at some office. We’re not a franchise, and we’re not sending strangers from three counties over. We schedule our Cerritos work deliberately so the crew that starts your driveway is the crew that finishes it.

Homeowners in Cerritos tend to ask harder questions than most, and we like that. You’ve got a city hall that actually means it when they say permits required, and a housing stock that’s aged past the point where shortcuts hide. When we quote a paver patio or a stamped concrete walkway, we include the demolition, the base prep, and the drainage plan in the written scope. No allowances that turn into surprises. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why I like him on the job.

Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Cerritos

Paver Driveways

Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers handle Cerritos’s sun and occasional heavy rain better than most materials. We build paver driveways in Cerritos on compacted aggregate bases that move with the native alluvial soil instead of fighting it, which matters when your 1960s-era slab has already shifted a half inch in one corner. A new paver driveway here runs $7,000 to $18,000, and you’re getting a surface that can be repaired section by section if anything ever needs it.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

A concrete driveway in Cerritos runs $4,500 to $12,000, and the real question is what’s underneath. Most of Cerritos sits on soils deposited by the San Gabriel River system, which means we add heavier rebar and control joints than crews working up in the foothills typically spec. We pour, stamp, stain, and repair concrete flatwork across Cerritos, and every pour gets cure-time factored for our low-basin heat and marine layer mornings.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt makes sense on lots where drainage already works and you don’t want to tear out what’s there. A fresh asphalt pour in Cerritos runs $3,500 to $9,000, and resurfacing over a sound base comes in lower. We’ll tell you honestly if your existing driveway is worth overlaying or if you’re just putting a bandage on a base that’s done. Asphalt won’t hold stamped detail the way concrete will, but for long approach strips and utility drives it’s a solid, quiet surface.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

Driveway replacement in Cerritos runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on square footage and what we find under the old surface. If a corner of your slab has dropped, that’s usually a base failure, not a cosmetic crack, and the fix starts below grade. We see differential settlement all over Cerritos because the entire city sits on basin fill that compacts unevenly over decades. We’ll open the section, pack a proper base, and match the new pour to what’s left of the old, within reason.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cerritos

Our Driveway & Pavers crews build with materials you can look up before you sign. We stock Belgard and Cambridge Pavers for most Cerritos paver work, and we carry Quikrete and Oldcastle line items for concrete and segmental retaining work where they fit. You won’t get mystery pallets off a supply yard van with the tags peeled off. If you live in Cerritos and want to see product samples before the first cut, we’ll bring the catalog boards straight to your garage on the estimate.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Cerritos Homes

• Slab settlement at walkway and patio interfaces. Cerritos homes sit on basin fill, and the original 1965-1985 flatwork was rarely overbuilt. We find sunken walkways and tilted patios where the old base finally gave out under decades of sprinkler runoff and occasional seismic loading.
• Root damage from mature street trees. City-planted camphor and magnolia trees along Cerritos residential streets send roots under old driveways looking for moisture, lifting slabs and cracking apron sections. Repair usually means cutting the root back and building the new edge to buy another fifteen years before it grows into the same spot.
• HOA-required paver restrictions. Several Cerritos tract developments have CC&Rs that specify paver color and pattern, and we know which ones enforce them. Before you pick a paver, we’ll check your tract’s recorded restrictions so you don’t get a letter after the job’s done.
• Failed patched areas from previous quick fixes. We see a lot of Cerritos driveways where someone cold-patched a crack in 2018 and it’s since crumbled. Asphalt patches over concrete joints almost never hold longer than a couple seasons here because the two materials expand at different rates under our summer sun.
