KraftMaid Driveway & Pavers: The West Palm Beach Owner’s Guide
KraftMaid driveway and paver work in West Palm Beach typically runs $7,000 to $18,000 installed, depending on square footage, paver grade, and what’s under the surface. We keep KraftMaid-specified materials matched to your existing layout, and most quotes are written the same day we walk the site. You usually find out a driveway has failed the morning after a hard rain, when you step out to get the paper and your shoe sinks into a dip that wasn’t there last week, or when a paver edge starts creeping into the lawn like it’s trying to escape.
Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach is an independent service provider. We are not affiliated with KraftMaid. We stock and install their product lines because the specifications are documented and traceable, which matters when you’re matching a 2009 install with today’s color lots.
Which KraftMaid Models This Applies To
KraftMaid’s hardscape and driveway products aren’t a single line. They come in modular paver sets that vary by thickness: 60mm pavers for foot traffic, 80mm for residential driveways, and 100mm for anything that’ll see a delivery truck or an RV. The compatibility gotcha in West Palm Beach is thickness. If your original paver edge is 60mm and you mix in 80mm replacements, the surface will crown within a year, and every rain pools where you don’t want it.
Identifying your exact paver means flipping one over. The underside usually carries a mold number, not a model name. Take a photo of that number and measure the paver’s depth with a tape, not a ruler. That gets you a match. On the OEM versus aftermarket question: we specify OEM-sourced KraftMaid pavers when color matching matters, because aftermarket equivalents drift slightly in tone after two or three Florida summers. If you’re replacing a full section rather than a patch, a quality aftermarket equivalent can save ten to fifteen percent, and we’ll show you both numbers in writing before you choose.

Signs Your KraftMaid Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Pavers tilting at the edge. This is edge restraint failure. The plastic or metal border wasn’t pinned deep enough, and soil shifts under the weight of a parked car. You’ll see the outermost course start to lean outward toward the lawn.
- Sand washing out between joints after rain. Florida’s afternoon downpours push polymeric sand through gaps. If you see sand fanning out across the paver surface, the joints are failing and water is getting under the base.
- Low spots that hold water more than an hour. A properly pitched paver driveway drains within minutes. Standing water that lingers means the base material has settled or eroded, which in West Palm Beach’s sandy, shifting soil happens faster than most owners expect.
- Visible gap between pavers and the garage slab. The driveway moves, the slab doesn’t. A widening seam at the threshold means the base has compressed or washed out. Ignore it long enough and the pavers will begin to drop at that seam.
- Cracks running across multiple pavers in a straight line. One cracked paver is a material flaw. A crack running through six pavers in a row is a base failure underneath. The pavers are just reporting the news.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
In West Palm Beach, a standard two-car paver driveway replacement runs $7,000 to $18,000. The spread comes down to four things: total square footage, paver thickness (80mm versus 100mm), how much of the existing base can be salvaged, and whether we’re removing an old concrete slab first. If the base is shot, which we discover by digging test holes, you’re paying to excavate and rebuild it. That’s the honest reason two neighbors with identical driveways can get different numbers.
Our written price covers removal of the failed pavers, base repair or full rebuild to grade, installation of new KraftMaid-compatible pavers, edge restraint, and polymeric sand jointing. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the full installation for one year: if the pavers shift, settle, or the sand washes out inside that window, we return and correct it at no charge. That’s on paper, in your hand, before any paver gets laid.
DIY or Call Us?
Patching is where most West Palm Beach homeowners get it wrong. Lifting a few sunken pavers, adding a little sand, and setting them back down feels like a Saturday job, but it doesn’t fix the base, and the pavers will settle again inside a season. A shifting or cracking paver driveway is a structural problem dressed up as a cosmetic one, and it’s not worth an afternoon and a sore back to do it twice.
Replacing a full driveway means excavating to the correct depth, compacting in lifts, and setting grade so water moves away from the house. We’re not going to give you a step-by-step on that, because doing it wrong here means redoing it in two years, and Curtis Lane has pulled enough half-finished DIY driveways out of West Palm Beach yards to know how that story ends. Straight number, full scope, no surprises after the invoice. If you want it done once, call us at (728) 203-9809 and we’ll look at the base before we quote the surface.

- Thickness matters more than color: 80mm for cars, 100mm for anything heavier.

- We write the full price, scope, and one-year guarantee before work starts.
FAQs
A properly installed paver driveway in West Palm Beach lasts 25 to 30 years, though Florida’s summer rain and sandy soil mean the base needs checking every few years. Surface wear on the pavers themselves is rarely what kills the driveway; it’s base erosion from water getting under the sand joint.
Sometimes. If the failure is isolated to one section and the surrounding base is still stable, we can cut out and rebuild that area. The catch is that color matching aged pavers is imperfect, so you’ll see the patch for a season or two. Call (728) 203-9809 and we’ll tell you honestly whether a patch makes sense for your layout.
Most two-car driveways take three to five working days from excavation to final compaction and sanding, depending on weather and whether we’re removing concrete. Rain in West Palm Beach can stretch that, and we’ll tell you the plan before we start.
We keep a range of 80mm and 100mm pavers on hand for common repairs and color lots, and we order full driveway quantities directly from documented suppliers. If you need a specific mold number matched, bring us a photo of the paver underside and we’ll identify it before the quote is written.
Need a number on your paver driveway? Call (728) 203-9809 and Curtis Lane or a member of the crew will walk the site, check the base, and hand you a written price. Estimates are free, and a live person answers the phone.
