AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Cape Coral
Paver driveway installation in Cape Coral runs $7,000-$18,000 for a standard two-car driveway, and concrete work typically lands between $4,500-$12,000. Most jobs take three to five working days once permits clear, and we coordinate every inspection so you’re never left guessing. Tom Barrett and his sons handle the work personally, and a live person answers at (877) 610-1318 whenever you call. If you live anywhere from the canal-front streets of 33914 up to the newer blocks off Burnt Store Road in 33909, we know the ground under your driveway.
We’re not a franchise sending out whoever’s available that week. Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated, with the Barrett name on every truck and every contract. When Ian tore through in 2022, a lot of Cape Coral homeowners learned the hard way which contractors actually stood behind their work. We were here before the storm, and we’re still here after it, pulling permits, issuing written change orders, and fixing our own mistakes when we make them.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cape Coral’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Driveway work in Cape Coral isn’t like driveway work in Lehigh Acres or Fort Myers. The canal system changes everything. A driveway on a waterfront lot in 33914 often sits on fill that was placed decades ago, and the original concrete has shifted, cracked, or sunk where the fill settled. We account for that before we pour, because the last thing you need is a new driveway that telegraphs every old settlement crack within two years.
The city’s post-Ian permit climate is another reason Cape Coral homeowners call us. Inspectors are backed up, and the city now requires a seawall condition inspection on many canal-front lots before issuing building permits for major work. We’ve walked plenty of homeowners through that step, and we don’t pretend it doesn’t exist to win the bid. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number, and he’d tell you to look it up. Ask anyone on your street, or check the license yourself. Calls come to a live person, 24/7, not a voicemail box.
Every job includes a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. That’s not buried in fine print. It’s on the contract.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Cape Coral
Our Driveway & Pavers team handles the full range of hardscape work across Cape Coral, and we carry Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because homeowners here want materials they can look up, not whatever was left on a distributor’s shelf. Here’s what we do most often.
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway handles Cape Coral’s wet-season saturation better than a single concrete slab. The joints let water drain through instead of pooling, which matters when summer thunderstorms drop two inches in an hour. We see a lot of paver jobs in 33910 and 33904 where older CBS homes have narrow existing drives, and we work with the setbacks on those lots to widen without running afoul of city code.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
New concrete driveways in Cape Coral run $4,500-$12,000 depending on square footage, slope, and whether we’re tearing out old material first. For older homes off Del Prado Boulevard, we’re often replacing 40-year-old slabs that have spalled from salt air and decades of canal humidity. We stamp, we color, and we use rebar spacing that meets the high-velocity hurricane zone requirements inspectors enforce here.
Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving runs $3,500-$9,000 in Cape Coral, and it’s most common on longer drives in the northern sections around 33909 where lots run deeper. Asphalt handles the relentless sun here well, but it needs sealing every three to four years. Our resurfacing crews prep the base properly so the new layer doesn’t mirror every crack in the old one.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
Replacement work in Cape Coral runs $5,000-$14,000. On canal-front lots in 33914, we regularly see driveways that have sunk where old fill settled against the seawall line, and those repairs require more than a quick patch. We also handle the city’s permit requirements for full replacements, and every scope change arrives as a written change order before any work happens. No surprise invoices at the end.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cape Coral
We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers almost every week in Cape Coral, and we’ve worked on plenty of jobs involving PGT impact-rated products where driveway work connects to windows, doors, or entry features. We stock common replacement parts locally so turnaround is fast, and we don’t install off-brand materials to pad the margin. Tom’s rule is simple: if you can’t look up the manufacturer and read the spec sheet, it doesn’t go on your property.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Cape Coral Homes
- Settled fill on canal-front lots: Many homes in 33914 and 33904 sit on fill placed during the original Gulf American development. Over time, that fill settles, and driveways crack along the settlement line, especially within 20 feet of the seawall.
- Salt air corrosion on driveway-adjacent hardware: Gulf salt air chews through standard anchor bolts and metal edging in a few years. We spec stainless or hot-dipped galvanized connectors that inland contractors often skip, because here it’s not optional.
- Post-Ian paver damage and washout: The 2022 storm shifted paver bases on hundreds of Cape Coral properties. If a paver drive wasn’t rebuilt on a properly compacted base after Ian, it’ll shift again. We see it constantly.
- Sealing neglect on concrete and asphalt: Cape Coral’s sun and summer downpours punish unsealed surfaces. Homeowners who skip sealing for five years end up replacing material that could have lasted 20.
