Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Paramount’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Tom Barrett puts his name on the truck, his address on the contract, and his license number where anyone can look it up. That matters in a city like Paramount, where homeowners have seen plenty of fly-by-night crews knock on doors after a rainstorm and disappear before the concrete cures. We’ve been serving Paramount long enough that our crew members get waved at in the grocery store, and our reputation has been built one driveway at a time.
Response time to Paramount is straightforward: we schedule around our calendar, not a call center’s. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, every hour of every day. You’ll get a written estimate with the scope in writing, no vague hand-wave pricing. If the job changes, you get a change order in writing before anything changes on the ground. That’s not marketing talk; it’s on every contract we sign, right next to the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
We pull permits on every eligible job in Paramount. The plan-check process here comes with some quirks we know well, particularly when a property sits near one of the city’s industrial corridors. We’ve walked enough Paramount jobs through the city’s requirements to know what triggers extra review and what doesn’t. That knowledge saves you time and keeps the inspector on your side.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Paramount
Here’s what our Driveway & Pavers team handles most often around town.
Paver Driveways
Paver driveways in Paramount run $7,000 to $18,000 for a typical single-car-width project, and they’re a smart choice for this city specifically. Paramount sits on alluvial soils that shift with moisture, and interlocking pavers flex with that movement instead of cracking against it. We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers products, brands you can look up and review before signing anything.
Permeable paver options also help with the drainage questions that come up on Paramount lots, many of which slope toward the street with older concrete swales. We’ll walk you through what makes sense for your specific block.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete driveway installation in Paramount lands between $4,500 and $12,000 for a standard drive, and we pour with Quikrete products when the job calls for a reliable, spec-grade mix. Paramount’s older homes, most built between the late 1940s and early 1960s, frequently still have the original slab or a patched-over version of it. Replacement means addressing what’s under the surface, not just what you see.
We also handle concrete walkways, aprons, curbs, and garage slabs. If the concrete meets the street and the city has a say in the apron, we handle that paperwork too.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing
Asphalt paving in Paramount runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a full new drive, with resurfacing at the lower end depending on the condition of the base. A lot of Paramount’s older homes have asphalt driveways that haven’t been properly sealed in a decade or more. The sun and the standing water that follows heavy rain both break down asphalt faster than most people expect.
We evaluate the base before we quote, because laying fresh asphalt over a failing base is exactly how you get a driveway that crumbles in two years. If the base is sound, resurfacing is a fast, cost-effective fix.

Driveway Repair & Replacement
Driveway replacement in Paramount runs $5,000 to $14,000 depending on material and square footage. We see a lot of driveways with cracks that started small and turned into trip hazards, and driveways with edges that have sunk where the ground beneath them eroded. Paramount’s deep alluvial soils hold water in ways that make base preparation the single most important part of any driveway job here.
We also do targeted repair work: reconstructing edges, filling and sealing cracks in concrete, re-grading asphalt drives that hold water, and replacing sunken sections. Sealing a driveway in good condition costs $250 to $700 and buys years of extra life.

Trusted Brands We Service in Paramount

You shouldn’t have to take our word for what’s in your driveway, and you won’t.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Paramount Homes
- Bases that were never built for Paramount’s soil. Much of Paramount sits on alluvial deposits from the San Gabriel River and Rio Hondo. That soil holds water and moves. We regularly find driveways poured directly onto unstabilized base or thin fill that compacted years ago and hasn’t stayed put since. A proper base at the start is the difference between a 5-year driveway and a 25-year one.
- Water pooling where it shouldn’t. Paramount’s flat grade and older storm infrastructure mean a driveway that doesn’t direct water to the street will hold it. We see this on post-war lots where the original swale has been partly filled over or re-paved incorrectly. Fixing it often means re-grading the base, not just patching the top.
- Drainage questions tied to industrial neighbors. Paramount’s residential blocks sit close to light-manufacturing and warehouse facilities. Runoff from paved industrial lots can push water toward residential driveways during heavy rain. We’ve helped homeowners manage that with proper edge drains and permeable paver choices.
- Cracked concrete from ground movement. The combination of clay-bearing alluvial soil and perimeter roots from mature trees breaks concrete over time. In Paramount’s older housing stock, we see original slabs with cracks that were “fixed” years ago with patching compound and have since reopened. A new driveway means addressing the base and the drainage, or you’ll be back here in five years.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Paramount
We schedule Paramount work within one to three weeks for most driveway and paver projects once you approve the written estimate. We don’t overbook, because when Tom’s sons run the crew, the calendar is real. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you an honest start window.
Yes. We work throughout the 90723 zip code, including residential streets near Paramount Boulevard, Alondra Boulevard, and the mixed-use blocks that border the city’s light-industrial and rail-adjacent areas. If your property sits near a warehouse or manufacturing facility, we’re familiar with the extra drainage and soils considerations that can come with that, just as we are with Roofing - Paramount projects in similar conditions.
We handle urgent work like driveway failures that create tripping hazards or water intrusion, but we don’t market same-day emergency service for planned paving. What we do is pick up the phone when you call and give you a straight answer about timing. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll talk it through.
In our experience, pricing in Paramount is comparable to Bellflower and Downey, with two local factors that can add cost: some properties near industrial parcels require extra soils review or drainage work, and older post-war lots sometimes need more base preparation than newer developments. We quote the actual job, not a city premium.
Every job comes with our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something’s not right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. Beyond that, the materials we use carry their own manufacturer warranties, and we’ll make sure you have those documents in hand before the job closes. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put it in writing.
Need a driveway that drains right, holds up on Paramount’s soil, and costs what we said it would cost? Call (877) 610-1318 now and schedule your free estimate. We share the same streets as you, and we’ll still be here when the job’s done.
