Signs You Need Interlock Restoration

Pavers Structurally Sound – Restoration works when pavers are solid but cosmetically worn from age and weather
Damage Is Primarily Cosmetic – Fading, staining, moss, and surface dirt can be addressed without replacement
Base Is Generally Intact – Minor settlement issues can be fixed during restoration, major base failure requires replacement
Preserve Original Design – Keep your existing paver pattern and layout while refreshing the appearance
Budget Consideration – Restoration costs 25-40% of full replacement while achieving comparable results
