Unilock Construction in Miami Beach, FL | Mason Remodeling Co Miami
We provide independent Unilock paver construction and repair across Miami Beach, from full driveway teardowns in Flamingo Park to historic courtyard restorations in the Art Deco district. The one thing that separates our Unilock work here: we know which paver lines survive salt air, storm surge, and the Historic Preservation Board’s review process. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated or an authorized dealer. We’re a local General Contractor - Miami Beach crew that has been pulling up failed Unilock installations here for over a decade and rebuilding them to last. Call (850) 780-8123 for a straight price on your project.
Why Miami Beach Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Isaac Pruett, our owner, has been working South Florida job sites for well over a decade. He grew up in Los Angeles and earned his construction trade certificate from Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before running residential builds through every phase: framing, finish carpentry, tile, drywall. When he moved his operation to South Florida, he brought that full-build perspective to paver work. Most paver installers know pavers. We know what sits underneath them, what drains into them, and what Miami Beach’s salt air does to them over ten years. That’s the difference.
Our crews have rebuilt Unilock systems throughout Miami Beach’s low-rise concrete and stucco buildings from the 1920s through 1940s. We carry OEM Unilock replacement pavers for color-critical matches and pair them with polymeric sand and geotextile fabrics selected for coastal conditions. Every crew member you’ll see at your door is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard. You get the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and they’ll show a photo ID badge when they arrive. Written price before any work starts. No surprises.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Miami Beach
- Salt air corrosion of paver joint sand. Oceanfront properties in Miami Beach see joint sand erode fast. Salt crystallizes in the joints, wind pulls the sand out, and suddenly weeds are pushing through and pavers are shifting. We clean the joints properly and install coastal-grade polymeric sand that actually holds.
- UV fading and efflorescence on EnduraColor units around pool decks. Miami Beach sun is brutal on paver color. We’ve pulled up pool decks where the white chalky bloom made the pavers look twenty years older than they were. We know which EnduraColor lines hold color and when a sealer makes sense for a saltwater pool deck.
- Base settlement from FEMA floodplain soil shifts. Miami Beach sits in a floodplain. Soil moves. Pavers dip, creating lippage and trip hazards on driveways and walkways. We rebuild the base to FEMA elevation standards, not just re-lay the surface.
- Surface spalling on Richcliff pavers from salt-saturated roof runoff. Metal roofs plus salt spray equals pitted, flaking paver surfaces. We see this on older Miami Beach apartment buildings where downspouts dump straight onto walkways. The fix often means redirecting drainage first, then replacing the damaged field.
- Historic district driveway failures. In the Miami Beach Architectural District, old paver systems fail because the original base was never engineered for modern drainage or coastal conditions. We rebuild them while working within the Historic Preservation Board’s requirements.
Unilock Service in Miami Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what most contractors won’t tell you about Unilock work in Miami Beach: the city’s Historic Preservation Board controls what you’re allowed to install. If your property sits within the Miami Beach Architectural District and your paver work is visible from the street, you need a Certificate of Appropriateness before we can touch anything. The Board often mandates that you reuse original brick or concrete pavers rather than switching to modern Unilock replacements, unless the original footings are too compromised to salvage. We’ve been through this process on properties near Ocean Drive and throughout the Flamingo Park neighborhood. It changes everything: what we quote, what we install, how long the job takes. If you’re replacing a walkway in front of a boutique hotel on Collins Avenue, you want a crew that has already navigated that review, not one learning it on your Miami Beach Bathroom Remodeling project timelineine.
On a 1930s apartment building in Flamingo Park, our techs pulled up a failing Unilock Series 3000 driveway where storm surge had washed out the base, leaving pavers dipped a half inch along the curb. We dug a new gravel base to FEMA elevation standards, added a salt-resistant geotextile, and reinstalled the salvaged EnduraColor border while swapping the broken center units for OEM Series 3000 replacements. The new surface drained clean after the next king tide, and the owner avoided a $12,000 full replacement.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Miami Beach
We work with the full Unilock range that shows up on Miami Beach properties: EnduraColor, Richcliff, U-Cara, and Series 3000. Our approach on parts is simple. For color-critical repairs, we source OEM Unilock replacement pavers so the patch doesn’t look like a patch. For everything underneath, we use high-quality polymeric sand and geotextile fabrics localized for coastal conditions. We stock common units locally for faster turnaround on Miami Beach jobs. If more than 20% of a paver field is cracked or settled, we’ll tell you straight: a full reset with a compacted base makes more sense than spot fixes that will fail again. This is the same standard we apply to Unilock sales & service throughout the area.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Miami Beach
Usually. We source OEM Unilock replacement pavers where available and match color-critical areas carefully. For discontinued lines, we’ll assess the field and tell you honestly whether a full replacement makes more sense than a visible patch. Call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll take a look at the actual layout before quoting anything.
We rebuild the base to FEMA elevation standards for the specific repair area. Spot repairs that don’t change drainage or elevation typically don’t trigger a full code review. But if your base has washed out, doing the job right means doing it to current standards. We’ll tell you which path applies before we quote. Call (850) 780-8123 for an honest assessment.
No paver is fully immune to salt air, but EnduraColor units hold up better than most because of their surface treatment. The bigger issue is usually the joint sand and the base. We use coastal-grade polymeric sand and salt-resistant geotextile fabrics to keep the system stable. The paver itself is only one part of the equation.
Yes, with the right expectations. Saltwater splash will accelerate fading and efflorescence on any paver. We recommend selecting UV-stable EnduraColor lines and considering a breathable sealer for pool decks. We’ll walk you through the options for your specific deck. Call (850) 780-8123 and we’ll come out to assess it.
If the walkway is visible from the street and your hotel is a contributing structure in the Miami Beach Architectural District, yes, you need a Certificate of Appropriateness before exterior paver work begins. We’ve handled this process for properties along Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue. We’ll tell you exactly what applies to your building. Call (850) 780-8123 to start.
