Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Kendall’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and put his name on the door. That’s not a slogan. His address and license number are published and verifiable, so before you sign anything, look us up. The last contractor most Kendall homeowners used told them permits were optional. Around here, they’re not. We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me.
When you call us about driveway work in Kendall, a live person answers. That’s true at noon and at midnight, because we’re not running an out-of-state call center. Tom’s sons run the crews, and they live close enough that if something’s wrong after the job, they want to know about it. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: one call brings Tom back to make it right.
Kendall sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means even a simple driveway project has more code layers than most Florida towns. We’ve been navigating that for 29 years. If your paver driveway or concrete pad gets pulled into a bigger question about code compliance, we can tell you exactly what the inspector will ask before he asks it.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Kendall
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Kendall typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, depending on square footage, pattern, and whether we’re pulling up an old slab first. Paver installs do particularly well on Kendall’s oolitic limestone base, but compaction here is everything. The soil underneath holds water differently than inland fill, and if the base isn’t packed right, you’ll see shifting pavers in the first two rainy seasons. We use Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers, so the product has already passed Miami-Dade code before it ever touches your property.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Kendall runs $4,500 to $12,000. Stamped concrete is a common request in the 33156 ZIP, and it works, but the finish needs to be sealed properly against Kendall’s wet season. Our Driveway & Pavers team handles everything from a simple replacement pad to a stamped pattern that holds up to summer sun and storm runoff.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Kendall runs $3,500 to $9,000. You don’t see as much asphalt in Kendall as you do farther north in Florida, and there’s a reason: it requires more frequent sealing against UV damage, and the humidity accelerates cracking. We’ll tell you straight whether asphalt is the right pick for your lot or whether concrete or pavers will hold up longer. Resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway usually runs less than a full tear-out, and we’ll give you that number in writing before we touch the existing surface.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Kendall runs $5,000 to $14,000, depending on what’s underneath. A lot of homes in the 33156 ZIP were built in the 1970s and 1980s, and many had work done after Hurricane Andrew. That means we regularly find a mix of original pre-Andrew slabs and post-Andrew repairs on the same block. Before we quote a replacement, we check what’s actually down there, because pulling up an old slab on Miami Rock Ridge isn’t the same as trenching in sandier counties north of here.
We also handle patio pavers, walkways, pool decks, and brick paver driveways, plus our Bathroom Remodeling in Kendall. A paver patio in Kendall runs $3,500 to $11,000. A driveway sealing job runs $250 to $700, which is one of the cheapest and smartest things you can do before hurricane season starts.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall
We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers on paver projects, and Quikrete for concrete work, because those are brands you can look up yourself. We don’t bring mystery material off a van and hope you won’t ask. If you’re replacing a paver section after a root has lifted it, we can match the original style from Kendall homes we’ve already worked on, which shortens the job. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship, not just the materials.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Root lift from mature ficus and oak trees. Kendall’s older neighborhoods have big trees planted close to driveways, and their roots push pavers up in sections. We see this constantly on the blocks around Kendall Drive and along SW 88th Street. The fix often requires removing the lifted section, trimming the root properly, and recompacting the base.
- Water pooling on the slab after a rain. Kendall is flat and sits on low-elevation limestone, so water doesn’t run off the way it does in hilly neighborhoods north of Miami. A slab that wasn’t pitched right will hold standing water after every afternoon storm. We fix the pitch or add drainage before we pour new concrete.
- Crumbling edges from pre-Andrew concrete. Homes in the 33156 ZIP that kept their original pre-1992 slabs often have edges that are chipping and spalling. The original mix wasn’t rated for today’s humidity and storm cycles. We replace the edge sections rather than trying to patch dead concrete.
- Sinking sections near underground utility lines. Kendall’s high water table and limestone bedrock mean utility lines are shallower than in northern Florida. If backfill settles around a gas or water line, driveway sections above will sink. We don’t fill over the top with a band-aid patch; we re-excavate, recompact, and then repour.

For an estimate, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a specific time, not a four-hour window. We’re not dispatch from another state.

Yes, in most cases a driveway replacement or major paver install in Kendall requires a permit because of Miami-Dade County’s HVHZ rules. We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job. If a contractor tells you a permit is optional for a driveway job in Kendall, get a second opinion before you sign. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project requires.
Kendall sits inside the Miami-Dade HVHZ, the most stringent residential building code jurisdiction in the country. That means more product approvals, more inspections, and more documentation than cities in Broward County or farther north. A paver or concrete product that passes standard Florida code may not be Miami-Dade NOA-approved, and inspectors will fail the job. We build that compliance into the price, so you’re not surprised by a code charge later. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that accounts for all of that up front.
Every driveway and paver job comes with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. Materials carry manufacturer warranties through the brands we install. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put the warranty terms in writing before work starts.
