Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Melrose Park’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Melrose Park is unincorporated Broward County, which means every driveway that needs a permit goes through the Broward County Building Division, not a city hall down the street. That sounds like a small detail until you’re the one waiting on an inspector. We know the county’s timelines, their fee schedules, and their inspector workflows because we’ve been pulling permits through them for years. A contractor who does most of his work in Fort Lauderdale or Oakland Park can get tripped up by the county process. We don’t.
We’re owner-operated, not a franchise. When you call about your driveway in Melrose Park, you’re talking to someone who knows the streets you drive on. Tom Barrett lives twenty minutes from your front door. His sons run the crews. The people who show up to tear out your old concrete are the same people whose name is on the side of the truck. If your neighbor on SW 28th Way asks who did your pavers, you’ll be able to give them a name they can look up.
And yes, we’re insured and bonded, licensed by the state of Florida, and Tom publishes his license number, his name, and his address. Look it up before you sign anything. We’d want you to.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Melrose Park
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Melrose Park gives you something concrete can’t match: individual units that move with Broward County’s shifting, high-water-table soil instead of cracking against it. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, two brands you can research yourself before we ever set foot on your property. Most paver driveways here run $7,000 to $18,000 depending on footage, border details, and whether we need to do base stabilization first. The salt air near the Intracoastal doesn’t affect quality concrete pavers the way it does other materials, which is one reason we recommend them for homes in the 33308 ZIP.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Plenty of Melrose Park homes still have their original 1950s or 1960s concrete driveways, and after sixty or seventy South Florida summers, most of them show it. Cracks, spalling, sunken slabs where the base has washed out. A new concrete driveway in this neighborhood typically costs $4,500 to $12,000. We’ll handle the tear-out, the base prep, and the pour, and we’ll pull the county permit if the job requires one. Stamped concrete is also an option if you want the look of stone or brick at a lower material cost.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt is less common in Melrose Park than concrete, but some of the older homes and a few of the larger corner lots on streets off SW 33rd Avenue use it. A full asphalt pour runs $3,500 to $9,000, and resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway is usually at the lower end of that range. Asphalt handles Broward County’s heat well, but it does need sealed every two to three years to keep the UV from turning it gray and brittle. We’ll give you a straight recommendation on whether to patch, resurface, or replace, and we’ll put it in writing with a fixed price.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
If your driveway has a trip hazard, a drainage problem, or a section that’s settled, don’t assume you need a full replacement. In many Melrose Park homes we can repair isolated sections, re-grade the base, or add a channel drain where water pools near the house. A full replacement runs $5,000 to $14,000. A targeted repair is usually a lot less. We’ll tell you honestly which one your driveway actually needs, because we’d rather do the smaller job right than sell you a bigger one you didn’t need. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look.

Trusted Brands We Service in Melrose Park
We stock and install pavers from Belgard and Techo-Bloc, two manufacturers you’ll find in the Driveway & Pavers product lines at better supply houses in South Florida. Not mystery material off a van. If you’re replacing driveway-adjacent work like a patio or pool deck, we carry these same brands in multiple finishes so everything matches. And when it comes to windows and doors on the house overlooking that new driveway, we install Simonton, PGT, and CGI products, names that hold up in Broward County hurricane season. Parts and product availability for Melrose Park jobs are handled from our Miami office, so we’re not waiting on a distributor two states away.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Melrose Park Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on rebar and drainage hardware. Melrose Park sits a few miles from the Intracoastal, and the same salt that eats your car’s undercarriage gets into driveway drains, tie-downs, and any exposed metal. We use corrosion-resistant materials where it matters.
- High water table causing base washout. The low elevation here means the ground stays wetter under your driveway than a lot of people realize. Without proper base compaction and drainage, pavers and slabs shift. We compact in lifts and add drainage where the lot grade calls for it.
- Sunken slabs from 60-year-old sub-bases. The post-WWII concrete blocks that built Melrose Park are solid, but the original driveway bases under them were often just sand and hope. We see sinkage and cracking on nearly every original driveway we inspect.
- Tree roots from mature landscaping. Melrose Park has some beautiful old oaks and ficus trees. Their roots don’t respect concrete. We’ll tell you before we start whether a root barrier is worth including, and we’ll put that recommendation in the written scope.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Melrose Park
We can usually get to a Melrose Park home within one to two business days for an estimate, and often sooner. Because we live and work in this part of Broward County, a trip to the 33308 ZIP isn’t a special journey for us. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll set a time that works around your schedule, not a four-hour dispatch window.
For any driveway or paver job in Melrose Park that triggers a permit, we pull the Broward County permit and make sure inspections are signed before we call the job done. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we like having them involved. We’ll tell you up front if your job needs one and include the permit fee in your written estimate.
Only if the scope changes, and only with a written change order you approve before any new work happens. Our scope documents include allowances on paper. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises. The number on your contract is the number you’ll pay unless you ask us to add something.
Generally no, not by any meaningful amount. Material costs are the same across Broward County, and labor rates in Melrose Park are comparable to Fort Lauderdale, Davie, and Lauderhill. The bigger variable is your existing base, your lot drainage, and whether we’re working around county inspection schedules. We’ll show you the numbers in writing before you commit.
Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one phone call. On top of that, the paver and concrete products we install carry their own manufacturer warranties through Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and our other brand partners. Call (877) 610-1318 with any warranty question before or after the job.
