AfterFast, Reliable Driveway & Pavers Across Pompano Beach Highlands
Driveway and paver work in Pompano Beach Highlands carries a set of rules most contractors never mention until the permit office brings it up. If your home was built before 1994, pulling a driveway permit through the Pompano Beach Building Division nearly always triggers a mandatory roof-to-wall hurricane strap retrofit. That is not a scare tactic. It is Broward County code, and it changes what a compliant quote needs to include. We know this because we work in Pompano Beach Highlands regularly, and we have stood in the permit office on many weekday mornings. Call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and we will walk you through what your specific property actually requires before anyone touches a shovel.
Our Driveway & Pavers team is led by Tom Barrett and his sons, not subcontracted crews you will never see again. When we quote a paver driveway or concrete replacement in the 33064 zip code, the price already accounts for the drainage, base, and wind-load details this neighborhood demands. That is the difference between a driveway that looks good for two wet seasons and one that still drains properly ten years from now.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pompano Beach Highlands’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company
Our name is on the truck. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Pompano Beach Highlands. That matters here more than most places. This is a neighborhood of modest CBS homes built between 1960 and 1985, and the owners are often on their second or third contractor because the first one quoted a number over the phone and handed over a different invoice at the end. We do not work that way. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. The allowance that is not on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
We serve Driveway & Pavers in Pompano Beach Highlands with crews that know the terrain. This is flat, low-lying land atop South Florida’s porous limestone. The water table sits high. Afternoon convective rainstorms in summer pour water onto nearly zero-grade lots with nowhere to go except against your slab. A driveway built without accounting for that reality will fail early, and the failure will look like bad concrete or cheap pavers. It is rarely either. It is usually a base and drainage problem.
You can look up Tom Barrett’s name, his license, and his address before you sign anything. We publish all of it. We carry a 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job, written on the contract, not buried in fine print. If something is not right, one call brings Tom back. And a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center.
Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Pompano Beach Highlands
Paver Driveways
A paver driveway in Pompano Beach Highlands needs a permeable base and edge drains, or the first two wet seasons will wash the joint sand right out. We install pavers from Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers because these products hold up under South Florida UV and ambient salt humidity far better than generic brick. The base we build underneath is the part you never see and the part that determines whether your driveway still looks level in five years. For a typical Pompano Beach Highlands driveway, paver installation runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, paver selection, and site prep.
Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work
Concrete in the high-water-table zone of Pompano Beach Highlands needs an under-slab vapor barrier. Without one, subsurface moisture wicks up through the slab, darkens the edges, and causes spalling within three to five years. We see this constantly on older homes where the original driveway was poured directly on grade. Our concrete driveways in the 33064 zip code run $4,500 to $12,000, and that price includes the vapor barrier, proper expansion joints, and a finish rated for the hurricane wind loads this area requires. We use Quikrete products for repair work and quality ready-mix for full pours.
Driveway Repair & Replacement
If your existing driveway is spalling at the edges, cracking from moisture wicking, or holding standing water against the slab, replacement may be the honest answer. Driveway replacement in Pompano Beach Highlands typically runs $5,000 to $14,000. The final number depends on whether we are removing the old slab, regrading for drainage, and whether the permit triggers the roof-to-wall strap retrofit we mentioned earlier. We will tell you all of this before we start, in writing, with the retrofit called out as a separate allowance line item so you can see exactly where the money goes.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pompano Beach Highlands
The manufacturers behind your driveway matter more than most contractors admit. We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers because they carry wind-load ratings that matter when a June storm spins through. For concrete and repair work, we rely on Quikrete products that local suppliers stock consistently, which means we are never waiting on a backordered pallet while your driveway sits half-finished. Because we work in Pompano Beach Highlands routinely, we keep common materials staged and ready, so a driveway replacement does not stall over a missing edge restraint or a shortage of paver sand.
Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Pompano Beach Highlands Homes
- Slab-edge saturation and spalling: On zero-grade lots with a high water table, water sits against the slab after every heavy rain. Without a vapor barrier and proper pitch, the concrete soaks it up, and the edges start flaking within a few years.
- Paver joint sand washout: Afternoon convective storms sheet water across paver driveways. If the base is not permeable and there are no edge drains, the sand between joints washes out within two wet seasons, leaving pavers loose and shifting.
- Wind-lift on unrated pavers: Hurricane gusts can lift individual pavers off a driveway that lacks proper edge restraint. We install wind-load-rated edging because a flying paver against a CBS wall is a projectile, not a cosmetic issue.
- Permit-triggered retrofit surprises: Pulling an exterior permit in Pompano Beach Highlands on a pre-1994 home often triggers a mandatory roof-to-wall strap retrofit. Homeowners who were quote one number get hit with a second invoice because their contractor did not know the local requirement, or chose not to mention it.

FAQs - Driveway & Pavers in Pompano Beach Highlands
Broward County treats any exterior permit on a pre-1994 CBS home as an opportunity to enforce wind-mitigation compliance. When we pull a driveway permit through the Pompano Beach Building Division, the plan reviewer will often require documentation that the roof structure is strapped to the block walls before they sign off on the final inspection. This is not optional, and it is not something we can skip. We call out the strap hardware and labor as a separate allowance on our written scope so you see that cost before we pour. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will help you understand exactly what your home needs.
A proper paver driveway quote in Pompano Beach Highlands must include a permeable aggregate base of at least 6 to 8 inches, edge restraints rated for wind load, and some form of edge drain or pitch that moves water away from the slab rather than against it. If a quote does not mention base depth, drainage, or edge restraint, you are looking at a paver installation that will start shifting within two wet seasons. That is the most common failure we repair in this neighborhood, and it is almost always cheaper to build it right the first time.
A wind-load-rated installation, properly permitted and inspected, gives you documentation that your exterior work meets current Broward County code. If a storm damages the driveway or adjacent structures, that paperwork matters when you file a claim. Insurers in this market increasingly ask for wind mitigation documentation at renewal, and a driveway permit that triggered and passed the roof-to-wall strap inspection is one more piece of evidence that your home meets code. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspections, and we keep your paperwork organized.
Standard brick pavers are not rated for vehicle traffic or hurricane wind loads, and they will fail early on a Pompano Beach Highlands driveway. We install pavers from Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers specifically because these products carry the load ratings and wind resistance this area requires. The product matters, but so does the base and edge restraint. A rated paver on a poor base will still shift. We build both correctly, and we write it all down in the scope of work.
First, we walk the site and check drainage, slab condition, and whether your home is pre-1994. Then we pull the permit. If the permit triggers roof-to-wall strap work, we bring that into the scope as a written allowance before demo starts. After demolition and base prep, we schedule the structural inspection, then the final inspection after the pour or paver installation. You are never guessing what happens next, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we want him on the job. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a written line-by-line quote.
