AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Fontana
Driveway and paver work in Fontana typically runs $3,500 to $18,000 depending on material and square footage, with most full paver driveway replacements landing between $7,000 and $18,000. We schedule free estimates throughout Fontana’s 92335, 92336, 92337, and 92331 zip codes every week, and a live person answers the phone when you call (877) 610-1318. Fontana’s heat and soil conditions make driveway work different here than in coastal cities, and we plan every estimate around what actually happens under your slab, not a generic national price book.
Most of the driveways we replace in Fontana fall into two camps: aging concrete from the 1970s-1990s that’s cracked beyond patching, or worn-out asphalt that’s been sealed one too many times over filled cracks. Either way, you deserve a written quote with material allowances spelled out before anyone swings a hammer. That’s how we’ve operated since 1998.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fontana’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
We’re an owner-operated shop. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable, and his sons run the crews doing Driveway & Pavers work across Fontana on any given week. You won’t get a dispatcher routing a stranger to your house. You’ll get a face you’ll see again at the hardware store on Sierra Avenue, and that’s not a small thing when you’re putting down a $10,000 driveway.
Fontana homeowners have a right to be skeptical. This city saw a building boom in the 1990s and 2000s, and plenty of driveway contractors came through, took deposits, and left homeowners with half-finished aprons and no permits. We do it differently. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why I like him on site.
We also carry a 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract. If something’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s not a slogan. It’s a line in the contract.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Fontana
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways are the single best-looking option for Fontana homes, especially the stucco tract houses in 92336 and 92337 where a Belgard or Techo-Bloc driveway instantly lifts curb appeal. A full paver driveway installation in Fontana typically runs $7,000 to $18,000. The big cost drivers are square footage, the paver brand you choose, and whether we need to excavate a failed concrete slab first. In the older 92335 neighborhoods, we regularly see driveways poured over old industrial fill that’s settled unevenly, which means extra compaction work before the base goes down.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveways in Fontana typically cost $4,500 to $12,000 for a full replacement. We pour standard broom-finish, stamped concrete, and exposed aggregate, depending on the look you want. Stamped concrete driveways run toward the higher end of that range because of the pattern work and sealing involved. Given Fontana’s summer heat, we also pay close attention to control joints and curing methods, because concrete that dries too fast in 105-degree weather cracks prematurely. We plan pours for early mornings when temperatures cooperate.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Fontana runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a new driveway, and resurfacing an existing asphalt drive lands on the lower end of that range. Asphalt makes sense for longer driveway runs and for homeowners in Fontana who want a lower upfront cost. It also handles the Inland Valley’s temperature swings reasonably well when properly installed. The catch is maintenance: asphalt needs sealing every 2-4 years here, more often than concrete, and we’ll give you an honest schedule before you commit.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Fontana runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on what’s underneath the old surface. We see a lot of driveways in the old Kaiser Steel corridor near 92335 where soil compaction surprises add excavation costs nobody expected from a standard soil report. That’s why we walk the property, look at what’s actually there, and then put numbers on paper. We don’t quote over the phone and we don’t surprise you at the end. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fontana
We install premium paver brands like Belgard and Techo-Bloc, and we stock common paver and concrete supplies locally so Fontana jobs don’t stall waiting on materials from out of state. If you’re replacing windows or doors at the same time as your driveway work, we also install Simonton and Ply Gem products, but our hardscape crews are paver specialists first. When you’re comparing quotes in Fontana, ask what brand of paver the other guy is actually installing. If they can’t name it, that’s your answer.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Fontana Homes
- Heat-cracked concrete from Inland Valley summers. Fontana regularly tops 105°F in July and August, and concrete that wasn’t poured with proper control joints or curing time develops surface cracks within a few years. We see this constantly on 1990s-era driveways in 92336.
- Settlement over old industrial fill near the former Kaiser Steel site. Homes in western Fontana, especially parts of 92335, frequently sit over fill material that compacts unevenly. Driveways sink, develop heaves, or separate from the garage slab. Standard repairs don’t hold; the base has to be reworked.
- Sun-baked paver color fading without proper sealing. Fontana’s UV exposure is relentless, and unsealed pavers lose their color within a few summers. We recommend sealing on a schedule that matches your paver type and sun exposure, and we’ll put that schedule in writing so you don’t have to guess.
- Santa Ana-driven dust and debris buildup in paver joints. The dry winds that rip through the Inland Valley blow fine dust into paver joints, which weakens the bond over time. Proper joint sand, installed correctly, resists this better than the cheap polymeric sand some contractors use to cut corners.

Fontana pricing is competitive with Rialto, Bloomington, and the rest of the Inland Empire, but two local factors can push costs up: the summer heat requires more careful concrete curing and scheduling, and older lots near the former Kaiser Steel area sometimes have soil compaction issues that add excavation costs. We’ll show you exactly what’s driving your quote, including those factors, in a written line-item estimate. Call (877) 610-1318 to get started.
