Penhallow Remodeling Orlando provides Unilock in Orlando with independent construction, repair, and installation service across the area, from paver patio rebuilds to driveway resets and pool deck restoration. Our crews handle more Unilock pavers and walls in the Orlando area than most landscape contractors, and as an independent firm, we service every Unilock line regardless of which dealer sold it, with no finger-pointing on warranty work. If you own Unilock Brussels Block, Beacon Hill Flagstone, Olde Quarry, or Riviera pavers and they’re faded, sunken, weedy, or shifting, call (850) 427-6454 for a written quote before any work starts. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Unilock. We are a local Orlando remodeling contractor that knows these products well enough to fix them correctly the first time.
Why Trust Penhallow Remodeling Orlando for Your Unilock Construction?
Trevor Nash, owner of Penhallow Remodeling Orlando, learned construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent two decades swinging a hammer on everything from slab foundations to finish carpentry before building this company on a simple idea: give you the number first, then pick up the tool. Our technicians have laid, lifted, re-bedded, and edged enough Unilock product to know what a Brussels Block paver looks like after ten Orlando summers, and what a Beacon Hill Flagstone wall does when groundwater sits behind it. That field experience means we diagnose the actual cause, not just the visible symptom. Every Unilock job gets a written price before work starts, a written 365-Day Done Right Promise that says we return and fix it at no charge if it fails within a year, and a free second visit if a repair doesn’t hold. We schedule a real arrival window, show up in uniform, and leave the job site cleaner than we found it. That is The Kingswell Way, in place since 2004, and it applies to every Unilock paver we touch.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Fix in Orlando
- Faded surface color on older Brussels Block. Orlando’s direct sun is relentless, and pavers installed before Unilock’s newer ColorFusion granule blends often lose their richness within five to eight years. The color isn’t gone; it’s buried under oxidation and joint-sand haze. We clean, re-sand, and apply a penetrating sealer that brings the original tone back without making the surface slippery around pools.
- Settled or sunken pavers around pool decks and driveways. In Orlando neighborhoods like Dr. Phillips and College Park, sandy soil shifts under repeated splash-out from vinyl-liner pools and heavy afternoon downpours. Pavers sink, lips form, and someone trips on a raised edge. We lift the affected area, re-compact the base, and re-set the pavers to grade. The fix holds because we address the base, not just the paver on top.
- Weed or ant intrusion through joints. Polymeric sand that was never installed, or that washed out after Orlando’s rainy season, leaves gaps where weeds germinate and ants tunnel. Once ants establish under a paver field, they excavate the bedding sand and pavers start to wobble. We remove the loose fill, treat the ant activity, and sweep in fresh polymeric sand that locks the joints and resists washout.
- Edge restraint failure along paver borders. St. Augustinegrass roots push sideways with surprising force, displacing aluminum or plastic edging and letting outer pavers drift. Last spring we rebuilt a 400-square-foot Unilock Brussels Block pool deck in Dr. Phillips where the original installer had skipped edge restraint entirely. Our tech lifted every third paver, added hidden aluminum edging, then re-bedded the field and swept in polymeric sand. Now the edge holds tight even when the pool overflows after a summer thunderstorm.
- Leaning or bowing Unilock retaining walls. Orlando’s high water table and hurricane-season downpours put hydrostatic pressure behind walls that were never backfilled with drainage stone or perforated pipe. The wall leans, joints open, and eventually a section tips. We rebuild the wall with proper drainage behind it so water has somewhere to go instead of pushing the wall over.
Unilock Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We use genuine Unilock pavers and wall units when matching existing colors and textures, because a Brussels Block paver from a different production run or a different brand will announce itself the moment it’s laid. When OEM joint sand or sealer isn’t available, we use equivalent premium options we’ve tested in Orlando’s heat and humidity. Repair versus replace is an honest conversation. If more than 20% of a patio is cracked or deeply lipped, we tell you a partial rebuild beats chasing individual paver swaps, because the base is usually the problem and swapping pavers on a failing base just moves the failure around. If the issue is localized, a paver lift and re-set costs less and preserves the rest of the field. Call (850) 427-6454 for a written quote that spells out the difference.
Our Unilock Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
On-site diagnosis. We inspect the paver field, wall, or border, check the edge restraint, probe the base, and identify whether the problem is surface-level or structural. On Unilock driveways that have shifted at the garage approach, for example, we check whether the sub-base under the apron was ever compacted properly.
- 2
Written scope and price. You get a written number before any work starts. Not an estimate range, not a verbal ballpark. A written price you can hold us to, with the specific Unilock product lines and repair methods listed.
- 3
Repair or installation with the right materials. We re-compact bases, install or replace edge restraint, re-bed pavers to grade, and sweep in polymeric sand. When installing new Unilock product, we follow the manufacturer’s bedding and jointing specs so the warranty stays valid.
- 4
Testing and inspection. We run a plate compactor over the repaired field, check for movement at the edges, and water-test joints to confirm the polymeric sand has activated and locked.
- 5
Written guarantee. Every Unilock job includes a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call, no re-inspection fee.

FAQs – Unilock Construction Service in Orlando
No. We are an independent Unilock service provider, not an authorized dealer or factory representative. That independence means we service every Unilock line regardless of which dealer sold it, and we never point you back to the manufacturer for an answer we can give you ourselves. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll tell you straight what’s wrong and what it costs to fix.
Yes, when matching existing colors and textures. A Brussels Block paver from a different production run will show its age difference immediately, so we match the product line and, where possible, the production era. For joint sand and sealers, we use OEM when available and equivalent premium products we’ve tested in Orlando conditions when it isn’t.
For Unilock in Kissimmee, most paver lifts, re-sets, and edge-restraint repairs finish in one to two days. A full paver patio installation in Orlando typically runs three to five days depending on access, base preparation, and weather. We give you a real arrival window before the job starts and we stick to it. Call (850) 427-6454 with your project details and we’ll give you a written timeline alongside the written price.
We service and install Unilock Brussels Block, Beacon Hill Flagstone, Olde Quarry, and Riviera pavers, plus Unilock wall units and pool coping. If you have a Unilock product not on that list, call us anyway. The odds are good we’ve handled it or can source what we need quickly.
We follow Unilock’s bedding, jointing, and edge-restraint specs on every installation so the manufacturer’s warranty stays intact. On repairs, we document what we did and why, so if a product defect ever becomes a warranty question, you have a clear record. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise runs alongside, and it’s in writing on every job.
Here are the ranges we quote most often in Orlando. Every job gets a written price before work starts, so the number on day one is the number on the invoice.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Patio Installation (Unilock) | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Paver Driveway Installation (Unilock) | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Countertop Installation (complementary surface) | $2,000 – $6,500 |
Several factors move the number up or down: paver line and thickness, base depth, edge restraint, access, and whether we’re repairing an existing field or starting fresh. Call (850) 427-6454 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and the number you get is the number you’ll pay.
Yes, within reason. ColorFusion blends are designed to bridge older and newer production runs, but the match is never invisible on a paver that’s been exposed to Orlando sun for a decade. We’ll show you the closest available match and lay a test section before committing, so you see exactly what you’re getting. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll walk you through the options.
Usually, yes. The shift at the garage approach is almost always a sub-base compaction failure under the apron, not a problem with the whole field. We lift the affected rows, re-compact the base with proper material, re-set the pavers to grade, and lock the joints. You pay for the repair you need, not a full driveway replacement. Call (850) 427-6454 for a written quote.
Ants move in when the joint sand washes out and leaves open channels. We treat the active tunnels, then sweep in polymeric sand that hardens when wet and locks the joints so there’s nowhere left for ants to enter. In Orlando’s sandy soil, this is a recurring maintenance issue, but the right joint sand makes a real difference. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll assess your paver field.
Yes. For Unilock Construction in St. Cloud, FL, a leaning wall is almost never a paver problem. It’s a drainage problem behind the wall. We take the wall apart, install perforated drainage pipe and clean stone behind it, then rebuild the wall with proper geogrid reinforcement where the height requires it. The fix lasts because the water pressure never builds up again. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll tell you what it costs.
You can, but we rarely recommend it. Different brands have different thicknesses, color-fastness, and surface textures, and a mixed field looks patchy within a season or two of Orlando sun. If you’re adding onto an existing Unilock installation, we recommend matching the line. If you’re starting fresh, we recommend picking one brand and sticking with it. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll help you decide what makes sense for your yard and budget.
