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

We’re not a franchise that dispatches strangers to Claremont. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That means the person who shakes your hand in the village is likely the same person who shows up to lay pavers on your driveway. Our customers in Claremont tell us the same thing over and over: they’ve been burned by a national company that quoted one price over the phone and delivered a different bill at the door. We don’t work that way. Every scope item, every allowance, every change order goes on paper, in writing, before work begins. No surprises, ever.

Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. That’s how confident we are in the work. And here’s a local detail that matters in Claremont specifically: we know that any driveway or hardscape job north of Foothill Boulevard sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which changes what materials meet code and how the city’s plan-check staff will review your permit. We’ve watched flatland contractors from neighboring cities get correction notices before they even break ground. That’s the kind of local knowledge that saves you weeks and hundreds of dollars. Our Driveway & Pavers team walks every Claremont job with that regulatory map already in our heads.

Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Claremont

Paver Driveways

A paver driveway in Claremont typically runs $7,000 to $18,000. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. In the neighborhoods east of the Claremont Colleges, where Craftsman bungalows sit on narrow lots, we often recommend a paver setup that lets water drain between joints rather than sheeting toward the foundation. That matters on those older 1910s and 1920s homes where the original foundation has already shifted once or twice on Pomona Valley clay.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

New concrete driveways in Claremont cost between $4,500 and $12,000. We do stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, and standard broom finish. If you’re in a 1950s or 1960s ranch tract home with a slab-on-grade foundation, we pay close attention to how the driveway ties into the existing slab, because those older pours often have hairline cracks that become trip hazards. Claremont’s summer heat, routinely above 105°F, also means our crews schedule pours for early morning to avoid thermal cracking.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt paving in Claremont runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard residential driveway. Resurfacing an existing asphalt driveway usually comes in at the lower end if the base is stable. Asphalt works well on the flatter sections of Claremont south of Foothill Boulevard. North of Base Line Road, where driveways climb toward the Wilderness Park, we often recommend pavers or concrete with proper drainage channels because asphalt can soften and shift under Claremont’s extreme summer sun.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

Full driveway replacement in Claremont runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on what’s underneath. We see a lot of cracked, sinking concrete on the older blocks near the Claremont Village, where tree roots from 80-year-old camphor and oak trees have pushed sections upward. We also see water damage where old downspouts dumped directly onto driveway edges. We fix the drainage before we replace the surface, because replacing concrete without fixing the water source is just paying twice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Claremont

Most of what we install carries names you can verify: Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and Simonton. We stock common paver and concrete supplies locally, so turnaround on Claremont jobs doesn’t stall waiting on shipments. That’s part of why our crews can move quickly once permits clear. If your driveway project runs alongside a window or door replacement, we carry Simonton and Ply Gem products as well. We’re a construction company that goes deep on materials, not a one-truck handyman service pretending to do everything.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Claremont Homes

• Fire-zone material compliance: Any driveway or paver job north of Foothill Boulevard that touches a retaining wall, fence line, or exterior assembly may need Chapter 7A-compliant materials. We’ve seen plan-check corrections issued for the wrong type of gravel surround on a hillside paver installation. This doesn’t happen in Pomona or Upland Flatland, but it’s standard in Claremont.
• Expansive clay soil movement: The Pomona Valley floor has clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That’s why so many 1960s ranch homes in Claremont have driveway slabs with horizontal cracks running from the garage apron. A cracked slab isn’t just cosmetic; it lets water under the slab, which worsens the shifting.
• Tree root lift on older streets: The blocks around Claremont Village and the Colleges are dense with mature trees that were planted before anyone thought about driveway placement. We regularly see paver and concrete surfaces lifted two or three inches by roots. We’ll cut and remove the problem roots properly, not just pave over them.
• Heat-related surface damage: Claremont sits in a thermal bowl at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains with no marine layer. Summer highs above 105°F cause asphalt to soften and sealcoat to break down faster than in coastal cities. We choose sealers and pavers rated for that kind of sustained UV exposure.
