Tremron Home Additions & ADU: The Orlando Owner's Guide
Most homeowners land here because a Tremron paver or retaining-wall project has a failed edge, a sinking section, or a part that needs to be matched before a home addition or ADU can move forward. In Orlando, we typically see this work run $45,000 – $130,000 for a full home addition, with ADU-specific work starting near $90,000 when it involves structural tie-ins, concrete, or paver integration. We're independent of Tremron, but we install and source Tremron-compatible materials across College Park, Baldwin Park, Thornton Park, and the greater metro, and we keep the common failure points in mind on every estimate.
Key Takeaways
- Cost range: $45,000 – $130,000 for a home addition in Orlando, $90,000 – $220,000 for a full ADU.
- What fails first: edge restraint, base compaction, and paver-to-structure transitions, not the Tremron units themselves.
- Who we are: Mason Remodeling Co Orlando, founded 2004, part of the Threshold Group family. You get a written price before any work starts.
- Tremron compatibles: we match Stonegate, Mega-Arbel, and other Orlando-market Tremron lines without forcing a whole-paver swap.

Which Tremron Models This Applies To
This page covers additions, ADUs, and the hardscape tie-ins that come with them when Tremron products are already on the property. In Orlando we see a lot of Stonegate and Mega-Arbel pavers on driveways and pool decks, plus Tremron retaining-wall block used to hold grade on sloped lots in Winter Park and Windermere. The compatibility questions that matter: paver thickness (60mm and 80mm are the two we see most, and 80mm is the right call for anything carrying vehicle weight), the joint width Tremron's system assumes, and whether the existing installation used edge restraint or just a sand set that has since drifted.
For an addition or ADU, the realistic choice is not usually to remove and replace every paver. It is to extend the surface to match the new footprint, then rebuild the transition where driveway meets garage slab or where the new unit's walkway ties into the existing patio. Aftermarket units from other manufacturers can look close in a catalog and wrong in real Orlando sunlight. We default to genuine Tremron units or a direct visual and dimensional match, and we tell you which one before you spend a dollar.
Signs Your Tremron Home Additions & ADU Is Failing
- Pavers sinking at the edge of the existing driveway. Almost always base failure underneath, usually from Orlando's summer downpour cycle washing fines out of a sand set that was never thickened for traffic. The paver itself is fine; the installation underneath is not.
- Gap opening between the house slab and the paver surface. This shows up after a few Florida wet-dry cycles, and it is the first place water gets under a new addition. Fixing the transition before framing starts saves money later.
- Retaining wall leaning toward the new addition site. Wall block can handle vertical load, but not lateral pressure from saturated soil. This is a sign to resolve drainage before the addition goes on that side of the property.
- Pavers shifting or rocking when you step near the planned ADU pad. Loose units signal a joint-sand washout problem, not a Tremron manufacturing issue. It is a red flag for what will happen under the new slab edge if left unaddressed.
- Water pooling against the existing wall block after rain. Orlando storms expose grading problems fast. If the current grade sends water back toward the structure, the new addition inherits that problem the day it is built.

AfterReplacement Cost & What's Included
For Orlando homes, plan on $45,000 – $130,000 for a home addition that includes the structural work, new foundation or slab extension, and the Tremron-compatible hardscape tie-ins around it. A detached ADU runs $90,000 – $220,000 depending on square footage, kitchen or bath count, and how much paver or wall-block matching is required. Smaller scope work like a paver driveway extension in front of a garage conversion falls on the lower end; a full second-story addition with hardscape retention at the perimeter will push toward the higher end.
Our written price covers the parts, the labor, the site prep, and the disposal of any failed material we remove. You will see the line items before we start. If anything changes, it changes on paper first. The work itself carries a 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it is not right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely check a few things yourself. Look at the paver edges: are they tight, or has a gap opened? Push on any wall block with your hand: it should not move. Walk the surface after a heavy Orlando rain and note where water pools. Those notes help us price the job faster.
The point where DIY goes wrong is when the base has failed. Relaying pavers on a crushed base means cutting, grading, compacting, and sometimes removing a section of the old installation. For anything structurally connected to a home addition or ADU, or any wall holding back soil, get a trained professional involved. Isaac Pruett has been dealing with these exact Florida soil and drainage realities for years. Tell me what the problem is. We'll figure out the rest from there. Call (850) 920-7745.
FAQs
Expect 20 to 30 years for the pavers themselves if the base was done correctly, but the sand joints and edge restraint typically need attention every 5 to 10 years in Florida's wet climate. A sinking edge is not a paver failure; it is a base failure, and it can start within a few years if drainage was never addressed. Call (850) 920-7745 if your edges are moving before the addition goes up.
Yes, in most cases we can pull up the affected section, fix the base and edge restraint, and relay the same units to match the new addition layout. Replacement is only necessary when units are cracked or the pattern cannot be matched after the new slab goes in. We will tell you which situation applies to your property after a site visit.
For the hardscape portion tied to an addition or ADU, most jobs run three to ten working days depending on square footage, base repair depth, and whether wall block is involved. The structural addition itself runs on its own schedule. Your written estimate will separate the two so you know what is happening and when.
We keep common 60mm and 80mm units, edge restraint, and joint sand in our Orlando stock, and we order Tremron-specific lines by the pallet for larger additions and ADU projects. If you need a match on an older or discontinued Tremron product, we will source the closest dimensional match and show it to you before installation. We also carry KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone materials for the interior side of the addition.
