Why West Palm Beach Homeowners Choose Unilock Construction
Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach provides independent Unilock service in West Palm Beach, including repair and installation across the area. We work on Unilock paver patios, driveways, walkways, and retaining walls, handling everything from sand joint restoration to full paver replacement. We are not an authorized Unilock dealer or manufacturer affiliate, which means our recommendations are driven by what actually holds up in South Florida’s heat, rain, and salt air, not by a corporate sales playbook.
Unilock pavers are popular in West Palm Beach for good reason. The product lines offer clean lines and durable concrete construction. But this climate tests everything: intense UV exposure, hurricane-season downpours, high water tables, and salt-laden air. We see the same failure patterns repeat across neighborhoods from Flamingo Park to El Cid, and we’ve built our Unilock service approach around fixing those specific problems correctly the first time. Call (728) 203-9809 for a written estimate on any Unilock paver project.
Why Trust Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach for Your Unilock Construction?
Our crews have spent years working with Unilock product lines specifically: Beacon Hill Flagstone, Brussels Block, Richcliff, and Thornbury. That matters because each line behaves differently under stress. Beacon Hill’s flagstone profile resists lateral shifting well, but its irregular edges create more joint surface area, which means more places for sand to wash out during a heavy storm. Brussels Block is a workhorse, but its square edges are prone to spalling when a weed trimmer runs along the border at the wrong angle. Richcliff’s taller profile looks sharp on a modern patio but requires a deeper base prep than some installers are willing to do. Thornbury’s tumbled finish hides minor chips better than most, but its color pigment can fade unevenly under direct western sun exposure without proper sealing.
Curtis Lane, owner of Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent nearly three decades running jobs from slab foundations to full gut renovations. He’s been managing projects as a General Contractor in West Palm Beach for years, including work along the Northwood Village corridor. He knows what the local soil does after a hard rain and what hurricane-strapping requirements mean for outdoor structures. When Curtis quotes a number, that’s the number. If conditions change in the field, you get a call before a single paver gets pulled.
Every Unilock job we take follows The Garrison Standard: a written price before work begins, no numbers that move at the door, and a crew that shows up background-checked and uniformed. When the job closes, you get a signed written guarantee in your hand. If the work fails within a year under normal use, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we return and correct it at no charge.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Fix in West Palm Beach
- Sand joint washout on paver patios and driveways. Heavy summer downpours push water across paver surfaces faster than standard joint sand can resist. We regularly see paver patios in West Palm Beach where joints have washed out completely after two or three storm seasons, leaving pavers to rock and shift. The fix is re-screeding the base where needed, then installing polymeric sand that hardens after moisture exposure and resists erosion far better than standard sand.
- Edge spalling from weed trimmer impacts. Along paver borders, string trimmers throw nylon line at high speed against the paver edge. Over time, that impact chips away at the paver face, especially on square-edge lines like Brussels Block. The chips are not a manufacturing defect. They’re mechanical damage. We replace the affected border pavers and often recommend a maintenance border that holds up better to routine trimming.
- Efflorescence buildup on darker pavers. High humidity and irrigation overspray pull soluble salts out of the concrete and deposit them as a white, chalky film on the surface. It shows up most on darker Unilock colors and looks worse than it is. Efflorescence is cosmetic, not structural, but removing it properly requires specific cleaning agents and often re-sealing. We’ve handled this enough times in West Palm Beach to know which cleaners work without etching the paver surface.
- Color fading on pavers with direct western sun exposure. West-facing patios and driveways in West Palm Beach take brutal afternoon sun. Unilock color pigments, especially in warmer tones, fade unevenly over several years without a quality sealer. We can apply a color-enhancing sealer that restores depth and slows further UV degradation, but we’ll tell you honestly when a paver has faded past the point where sealing makes sense.
- Base failure and paver settlement. Poor original base prep is the single most common root cause of paver failure we find in West Palm Beach. A shallow base or inadequate compaction leads to low spots, rocking pavers, and eventually cracked units. Repair means pulling the affected area, re-excavating, installing proper base material, compacting in lifts, and reinstalling. Patching the surface without fixing the base just buys you a year at most.
Unilock Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
When we repair Unilock surfaces, we use OEM Unilock jointing sand and polymeric sand to preserve paver performance. The sand blend is engineered to match Unilock’s paver dimensions and joint tolerances, and substituting generic sand often leads to premature joint failure. Where matching original pavers is possible, we source them from a local Unilock distributor in the West Palm Beach area so color and profile remain consistent.
Sometimes matching is not possible. Pavers get discontinued, color lots shift, and a five-year-old patio will never match a brand-new pallet perfectly. When that happens, we source dimensional equivalents that match the profile and lay pattern rather than installing mismatched product that looks worse than the original problem. For heavily spalled or faded areas, we tell you straight: replacement of the affected section is the honest fix, not repeated patching that costs more over time and never looks right. Call (728) 203-9809 and we’ll walk the site and give you a written recommendation before any work starts.
Our Unilock Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Site walk and diagnosis. We examine the paver surface, check joint conditions, probe the base for voids, and identify the root cause of what you’re seeing. This is not a five-minute glance. We look for drainage issues, irrigation overspray, and base settlement before we recommend anything.
- 2
Written scope and price. You get a line-item written estimate before work starts. If the job requires base repair, you’ll see that as a line item. If we need to source specific Unilock pavers or polymeric sand, that’s in the quote. No numbers change at the door.
- 3
Repair or installation. For repairs, we remove affected pavers, correct the base, reinstall, and re-sand joints. For new installations, we excavate to the proper depth for the specific Unilock product line, compact the base in lifts, and lay pavers to the manufacturer’s pattern specifications.
- 4
Joint sanding and sealing. We install polymeric sand in all joints and activate it with water. Where sealing is part of the scope, we apply it in West Palm Beach’s dry-season windows so the sealant cures properly without rain interruptions.
- 5
Walk-through and written guarantee. We walk the finished surface with you, document the scope, and hand you a signed 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge.

AfterUnilock Products We Service & Install in West Palm Beach
We also provide Unilock in Palm Beach Gardens and install major product lines across West Palm Beach, including Beacon Hill Flagstone for patios and walkways, Brussels Block for driveways and high-traffic areas, Richcliff for modern architectural profiles, and Thornbury for tumbled, cottage-style finishes. We stock polymeric sand, edge restraints, and base materials locally for fast turnaround on repairs. When a job requires matching pavers, we source from local Unilock distributors so you’re not waiting on freight from out of state. One recent job in the Flamingo Park area involved rebuilding a Beacon Hill Flagstone patio where the sand joints had completely washed out. We sourced matching pavers, re-screeded the base, installed polymeric sand, and sealed the surface ahead of the client’s scheduled outdoor event. The patio looked like it did before the first storm.
We Also Service These Brands
Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach is not a single-brand shop. Alongside Unilock, our crews work with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, and Kohler fixtures. That multi-brand capability matters when a Unilock patio project connects to a kitchen remodel or an outdoor entertaining space, because one crew handles the whole scope under one written guarantee.
FAQs – Unilock Construction Service in West Palm Beach
That white film is efflorescence, and it’s caused by moisture pulling soluble salts out of the concrete and depositing them on the surface. In West Palm Beach, high humidity and irrigation overspray make it more common than in drier climates. It’s cosmetic, not structural damage, and it can be removed with the right cleaning agents followed by sealing. We can assess whether cleaning and sealing will resolve it or whether the paver needs replacement. Call (728) 203-9809 for an on-site evaluation.
We can usually get close by sourcing from a local Unilock distributor, but an exact match is never guaranteed on aged pavers because the existing surface has weathered under years of sun and rain. New pavers will look slightly different until they weather in. We’ll show you samples against your existing surface before we commit to a plan, and if a close match is not achievable, we’ll tell you that before any money changes hands.
Yes. Rocking pavers after heavy rain usually means the joint sand has washed out and the base has started shifting. We repair it by lifting the affected pavers, re-leveling and compacting the base, and reinstalling with fresh polymeric sand. The repair is straightforward when caught early. Call (728) 203-9809 and we’ll assess the full extent before quoting.
With West Palm Beach’s heavy summer rains, joints often need re-sanding every three to five years, sometimes sooner if the patio sits in a drainage path or gets hit hard by irrigation overspray. Polymeric sand lasts significantly longer than standard sand because it hardens after moisture activation. We’ll tell you during a site walk whether your joints can go another season or need attention now.
Edge chipping along paver borders almost always comes from weed trimmers striking the paver edge at speed. The nylon line impacts the concrete and knocks small chips off over time. It’s mechanical damage, not a product defect. We can replace individual border pavers and often recommend a maintenance approach that reduces trimmer contact along the edges.
