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

We’re the kind of outfit where the owner’s name is on the truck and his sons run the crews. That matters in a neighborhood like Van Nuys, where people still talk to each other over fences and a contractor’s reputation travels block by block. Tom Barrett founded the company in 1998 and still answers his own phone. Our Van Nuys customers know they can look up his license number, his address, and his name before signing anything, and plenty of them have done exactly that.

What keeps people calling us isn’t just the work. It’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise written into every contract. If something isn’t right after we leave, one call brings Tom back. No claim forms, no “we’ll send someone out when we’re in the area.” The permit inspector works for you, not for us, which is why we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. You’ll see a written change order before any scope shift touches your driveway, because an allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Van Nuys

Paver Driveways

A paver driveway in Van Nuys typically runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, site prep, and the paver you choose. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because they’re brands you can look up, and they hold up to the Valley’s heat basin summers without fading the way cheaper big-box pavers do. The single biggest cost driver here is the base: Van Nuys sits on a mix of sandy loam and compacted clay, and cutting corners on the gravel base is how you get a wavy driveway in three years.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

Concrete driveway installation in Van Nuys usually lands between $4,500 and $12,000 for a standard two-car driveway. That includes the rebar, the forms, and the expansion joints that keep your slab from cracking during the seasonal temperature swings the Valley is famous for. Stamped concrete driveways run toward the upper end of that range and give you the look of stone without the paver price tag. We pour for the heat we know is coming, not for a coastal climate that doesn’t apply here.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt paving in Van Nuys runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a new driveway, and resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway over a sound base typically costs less than a full replacement. Asphalt makes sense on a lot of the post-war lots in Van Nuys because it handles the Valley’s triple-digit summer days without spalling the way poorly cured concrete can. The tradeoff is lifespan and maintenance, which we’ll talk through honestly before you spend a dollar.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

A full driveway replacement in Van Nuys falls between $5,000 and $14,000 depending on what’s underneath the old surface. A lot of what we pull up in this neighborhood is original 1950s and 1960s concrete that was never engineered for modern vehicle weights. When we do find earthquake damage beneath an old driveway, which happens more often near the Sepulveda corridor than people expect, we document it and talk you through the repair before any new material goes down.

Trusted Brands We Service in Van Nuys

We’re not shy about the materials we install because you should be able to look them up. For driveways and hardscapes, that means Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, and when a Van Nuys job crosses over into other trades like Kitchen Remodeling in Van Nuys or a backyard overhaul that touches a patio, we bring the same premium-brand standard. We keep local inventory relationships across the Valley, which means fewer week-long waits for paver delivery and more same-week starts for Van Nuys homeowners. If we’re touching your driveway as part of a larger project that includes an Home Additions & ADU in Van Nuys permit pull, the same written-change-order rule applies to every phase.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Van Nuys Homes

• Santa Ana wind stress on edge joints. Fall and winter Santa Ana events push hard against the edges of paver and concrete work on valley-facing elevations. We see lifted paver edges and cracked concrete lips on homes along Vanowen and Victory more than anywhere else we work.
• Heat-basin expansion cracks. Van Nuys regularly runs 10 to 15 degrees hotter than coastal Los Angeles in the summer. Concrete without proper expansion joints cracks in predictable diagonal patterns, and asphalt without a sound base softens and ruts under parked cars.
• FAA Part 77 height restrictions near Van Nuys Airport. Any driveway project that includes lighting, gate posts, or low walls within a few miles of VNY has to account for airspace height limits that don’t exist in Sherman Oaks or Encino. We handle the paperwork and design around it from the start.
• Hidden 1994 Northridge damage under old driveways. Van Nuys sits just miles from the Northridge epicenter. We’ve pulled up more than a few driveways on Sepulveda-adjacent streets that were cosmetically patched in the 90s but had badly fractured sub-base underneath. Budgeting for that possibility is part of doing honest work here.
