We used Vargas paving at our house in Cape Coral Florida. Very impressed with the quality and the professional way they did the job. We were so impressed that we used them again st our new home in Punta Gorda Florida. They are a small family owned business and I would recommend them to anyone needing paver work done. Awesome to do business with.

Lillian, thank you so much! We take a lot of pride in the details and making sure everything is cleaned up properly when we're done. So glad you're happy with how it all turned out!
Keith Luomala12 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Keith has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Great service from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and the quality of the work was just as good. They repaired a crack in the concrete beneath my pavers, installed concrete pads at each lanai door, and installed the pavers. They also pressure washed, re-sanded, and sealed the entire paver area.
What really stood out was the attention to detail and customer service. One of the owners stopped by the day after the work was completed, noticed that the pavers could use another coat of sealer, and scheduled the crew to come back the very next day to apply an additional coat at no extra cost.
Very professional, responsive, and they stand behind their work. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality paver work.

Howard Rutizer15 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Howard has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I had a sunken area near my garage door and I noticed it was getting worse. I had Vargas come to do the repair. After sending photos I was quoted $540. for the repair. A $108.00 deposit was required. The owners came along with two other workers. One other low spot was shown to me and it was suggested that it be leveled also, and I was told it would be another $160.00, and I agreed. Of course more pavers were removed around the sunken areas which I understood was necessary. The owners left and the two guys did a fantastic job leveling these sunken areas. What a huge difference. They did these repairs in one hour. And I repeat, they did a fantastic job in such a short time. The only reason I did not give 5 stars, because those two guys deserve ten stars, the reason is because the total charge of $700 seemed high for a one hour job. I am very satisfied and they do give a one year warranty.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you’re very satisfied with the repairs and our crew’s work.
We do want to clarify that our pricing is based on the scope of work, materials, experience, and warranty—not time spent on site. Both repairs were quoted and approved beforehand, and the price would have been the same whether the work took one hour or all day.
We take pride in having an experienced team that can deliver great results efficiently, and we’d never work slower simply to justify a price. While we’re disappointed our efficiency cost us a star, we truly appreciate your compliments and are glad you’re happy with the finished result.
Thank you for choosing Vargas Paver Sealing.

We recently had our pavers on the driveway and lanai surrounding our pool cleaned and sealed. The process took only one day and our pavers look amazing! Vargas took care of moving all of our lanai furniture off and back on to the lanai. They protected our outdoor kitchen and sliders with plastic and were careful not to leave our pool with a lot of debris. They applied two coats of a water based sealer which makes our pavers look better than brand new. I was lucky to have two friends recommend Vargas and if you use them too you won’t be disappointed!
