Unilock Construction in Broadmoor, CA | Framework Contractors
We’re Framework Contractors, and we provide independent Unilock paver installation, repair, and replacement across Broadmoor, CA. We’re not a manufacturer dealer or authorized rep, which means we answer to you, not a brand quota. The one thing that separates our Unilock work in Broadmoor from anyone else’s comes down to one fact most contractors miss: this unincorporated pocket is completely surrounded by Daly City, so every driveway or patio project runs through San Mateo County plan check, not a city building department. Call (844) 681-3590 for a free estimate.
Why Broadmoor Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Unilock sales & service is work we’ve been doing for years, and Broadmoor keeps us honest. The fog off San Bruno Mountain doesn’t let up, and neither does the wind-driven rain. We’ve watched Unilock installs fail and hold up under conditions you don’t see in sunnier Peninsula towns, and that experience shapes every base we build and every joint we sand. Noel Carbajal, our owner, grew up learning construction hands-on, patching stucco and reroofing porches before he could legally drive. His crew operates the same way: show up with a plan, do the work to spec, leave the site cleaner than we found it. For Broadmoor homeowners, that matters, because the ground here is damp, the lots are tight, and there’s no room for shortcuts.
We stock genuine Unilock OEM pavers, edge restraints, and polymeric sands for faster turnarounds on Broadmoor General Contractor repairs. When a discontinued color or budget reality calls for it, we use quality aftermarket equivalents that meet or exceed ASTM standards, and we tell you which is which before we start.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Broadmoor
- Efflorescence and salt staining on Brussels Block. Coastal fog and damp air in Broadmoor keep pavers wet for months at a time. Brussels Block absorbs that moisture and pushes mineral salts to the surface, leaving a stubborn white haze that standard cleaning won’t remove. We see it constantly on patios and walkways that never fully dry out.
- Joint sand erosion and paver shifting on sloped driveways. Wind-driven rain channels down Broadmoor’s hillside lots, washing joint sand out of paver seams, especially where original installs didn’t account for the slope. Pavers start to drift, and edges get loose. We rebuild the drainage and re-sand with polymeric material that actually holds.
- Frost heave and edge restraint failure. Older Unilock installations in Broadmoor were often set on marginal base prep. After a wet winter on these San Bruno Mountain-adjacent slopes, the ground heaves, edge restraints pop, and you get lippage and trip hazards. This one’s a safety issue, and we treat it that way.
- Surface spalling and color loss on Beacon Hill and Copthorne pavers. West-facing patios and walkways in Broadmoor take the brunt of every storm. Constant wind and moisture wear down the paver surface, fading color and causing the top layer to flake. We match replacement units where possible or re-grade the area so water stops pooling where it shouldn’t.
- Failed base on older paver driveways. When a Broadmoor driveway shows widespread settling or joint failure, the base is usually the culprit, not the pavers. We’ll tell you straight: if the base is shot, replacing a few pavers is wasted money.
Unilock Service in Broadmoor: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Broadmoor’s unincorporated status is the thing most contractors get wrong. Every paver driveway or patio project here has to clear plan check and inspection through San Mateo County, not Daly City, even though the job site is completely surrounded by Daly City. A contractor who assumes one building department covers the area is going to file with the wrong jurisdiction and stall your permit for weeks. We know the split. We’ve filed through the county for Broadmoor projects many times, and we know which inspector signs off on what. That’s the difference between a driveway that gets built this season and one that sits in permit limbo.
The damp, foggy microclimate here also rewrites the rules on base prep. Standard paver bases that work fine in, say, inland Orange County don’t drain fast enough for Broadmoor’s persistent moisture. We build deeper aggregate bases with better drainage so water moves through instead of pooling under the pavers. On a narrow lot off Hillside Boulevard, our crew replaced a heaved and shifting Brussels Block driveway that had been installed decades ago with minimal base prep. The persistent fog and wind-driven rain had eroded the joint sand and caused edge restraints to fail. We pulled the pavers, rebuilt the base to county spec, and reinstalled with fresh OEM edge restraints and polymeric sand. That driveway now drains properly and should hold up to Broadmoor’s worst weather for years.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Broadmoor
Yes. Broadmoor is unincorporated San Mateo County, so permits and inspections run through the county rather than Daly City, even though Broadmoor is completely surrounded by Daly City. Plan check, inspection scheduling, and drainage requirements all follow county rules. We handle that filing path for you.
The white haze is efflorescence, and in Broadmoor it’s driven by the persistent coastal fog and damp air that keep pavers wet for months. Moisture pulls natural salts in the concrete to the surface, and they deposit as a chalky film. We can treat it and, more importantly, adjust drainage so the pavers dry out faster. Call (844) 681-3590 for an assessment.
In most cases, yes. We source genuine Unilock OEM pavers to match your existing color and finish. If your pavers are discontinued or the color has faded unevenly from Broadmoor’s wind and moisture exposure, we’ll show you aftermarket equivalents that meet ASTM standards and tell you honestly whether a patch job or partial replacement makes more sense.
Broadmoor’s lots are tight, with minimal side-yard setbacks, so access for equipment and material staging gets complicated. Drainage also has to be carefully graded so water doesn’t run toward your foundation or your neighbor’s property line. We plan both before the first paver goes down. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll take a look at your lot.
A properly installed Unilock driveway with a solid aggregate base should last 25 years or more, even with Broadmoor’s fog, damp air, and wind-driven rain. The base and drainage are what determine lifespan. If those are done right, the pavers themselves hold up. If they’re marginal, you’ll see shifting and heaving within a few wet winters.
