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

Tom Barrett answers his own phone, and his name, address, and license number are published for anyone to look up before signing a contract. That’s not a marketing line. It’s how we’ve operated since 1998. The crew members who show up at your Houston property carry the Barrett & Sons name on their uniforms and have been background-checked. They are Tom’s sons and their teams, not labor dispatched from a call center.

Houston homeowners call us because they’ve been burned before. They’ve had a national company quote one number on the phone and show up with another at the door. We don’t work that way. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we’d rather have a hard conversation before the pour than a surprise invoice after it.

Our Driveway & Pavers team knows Houston’s neighborhoods, not just Houston’s map. We know that a driveway on a pier-and-beam bungalow in Montrose sits on different ground than a townhome slab in Midtown. We know that a paver patio in the Heights needs a base depth that accounts for clay expansion, not just aesthetics. That local knowledge keeps your project on schedule and your price honest.

Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Houston

Paver Driveways

Paver driveways in Houston typically run $7,000-$18,000, depending on square footage, paver choice, and base depth. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because they’re brands you can look up online, not mystery pallets off a van. For Houston’s clay soils, we over-excavate and build a thicker base than national crews often do, because a paver driveway that shifts and settles within three years was never a paver problem. It was a base problem.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

Concrete driveway installation in Houston costs $4,500-$12,000 for a standard two-car pour. Houston’s expansive clays are why we pay so much attention to rebar layout, control joints, and subgrade prep. A slab poured without proper jointing on Beaumont Clay will crack like a dry lakebed within two seasons. We also handle stamped concrete driveways, which give you the look of stone or brick with the lower maintenance of a monolithic pour.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt paving in Houston runs $3,500-$9,000 for a residential driveway. Asphalt handles Houston’s heat well and it’s easier to repair than concrete, but it needs periodic sealing here more than it does in drier Texas cities, because standing water and UV break down the binder faster. We offer resurfacing for asphalt driveways that are structurally sound but cosmetically tired.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

Driveway replacement in Houston falls between $5,000 and $14,000, depending on whether you’re replacing a full slab or sections of an existing driveway. Houston’s clay heave means cracks often return if the base isn’t addressed, so we don’t patch over a failing subgrade and call it fixed. We look at drainage, grade, and what’s under the slab before recommending repair versus replacement.

Trusted Brands We Service in Houston

Houston homeowners shouldn’t have to guess whether the materials on their driveway estimate are quality or whatever the supplier had on the truck that week. We work with brands with published specifications. On hardscape work we install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers. On drainage and waterproofing details around driveways and patios, we work with GAF underlayments and flashing systems that hold up to Houston’s rainfall. We also offer Roofing - Houston expertise when your project involves integrated roof and drainage solutions. We stock common components locally, which keeps turnaround faster for Houston jobs than for crews driving in from outside the metro.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Houston Homes

• Clay heave cracks. Beaumont Clay expands when wet and shrinks when dry, and in Houston we get both extremes aggressively each year. Concrete driveways without deep, properly compacted subgrade prep crack along predictable lines, and paver driveways without adequate base depth sink at the edges.
• Standing water and grade failures. Houston averages more than 50 inches of rain yearly, and a driveway pitched wrong turns into a pond after a normal afternoon thunderstorm. If water pools against the garage slab or flows toward the house, the driveway isn’t just ugly. It’s working against your foundation.
• Root lift from mature live oaks. Houston’s older neighborhoods like the Heights and Montrose have beautiful mature trees, and their roots travel farther than most people expect. Driveways on those blocks frequently lift along root lines, and the fix requires root-barrier work, not just a new pour.
• Premature paver fade and joint washout. Houston’s sun is brutal on color-rich pavers, and its downpours wash out polymeric sand joints quickly. We use high-quality joint stabilizers and re-sand on a schedule that accounts for local rainfall, not a generic manufacturer calendar.
