Pedestal pavers
Pedestal pavers turn a roof into a usable floor
Turn a flat roof, terrace, balcony or pool deck into a level outdoor floor. Our pedestal pavers sit on adjustable supports, so the surface stays flat while water drains underneath.
The roof keeps the slope it needs for drainage. You get a floor you can walk, dine and relax on, from the door to the railing.
We build these decks for condo buildings, homes and businesses across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. We work in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and the cities between.
Where we install
Roofs, terraces, balconies and pool decks
Any flat or gently sloped surface that needs a level floor on top is a candidate. We check each one on a free site visit.
Condo rooftops and terraces
Shared roof decks and private penthouse terraces, planned with the board and the building manager.
Balconies
Pavers set on pedestals over the balcony membrane, or right over old tile.
Pool decks
Paver decks around pools and plunge pools, including steps built on pedestals.
Plaza decks over garages
Walkable decks over parking garages, with the waterproofing left reachable below.
Homes with flat roofs
Outdoor living space on a flat or low-slope roof, with the drains kept clear underneath.
Restaurant and shop patios
Raised patios set level over old sidewalks and uneven paving.
Surfaces
Choosing your roof deck pavers
Porcelain pavers
The decks in our photos are large outdoor porcelain pavers. Porcelain does not rot or rust, and it holds up to sun, rain and salt air.
Outdoor porcelain is thicker than indoor tile, so each paver can span from pedestal to pedestal.
Concrete pavers
Heavier than porcelain, which can suit open, windy roofs and large plaza decks.
Wood or composite deck tiles
Square deck tiles on the same pedestals, for a warmer look and feel underfoot.
Not sure which surface fits your roof? We talk through the options on the site visit.
Why pedestals
What pedestals do for your roof
Pedestals lift the floor off the roof. That small gap does a lot of work.
- A level surface, even on a roof sloped for drainage.
- No standing water on top. Rain runs through the joints and away below.
- The waterproofing stays protected and reachable.
- Drains and pipes stay hidden but easy to get to.
- Any paver lifts out for a repair or an inspection.
Wind and storms
Planned for wind in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
Miami-Dade and Broward are in Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Palm Beach County is outside it, but strong wind rules still apply.
Wind is stronger on a high roof than at street level. Edges and corners take the most force.
We choose paver weight and edge restraints for the site. We confirm engineering and permit needs with your building and city before we quote.
Summer afternoon storms can drop heavy rain in minutes. On pedestals, that water falls through the joints and runs to the drains below.
Condo projects
Working with your condo board and building
Condo rooftop and balcony work usually needs the board's approval first. We help that go smoothly.
- We work directly with the board or the building manager.
- We can provide the documents your board asks for before work starts.
- We book the service elevator and work hours with the building.
- We plan deliveries and noisy cutting around the building's rules.
On oceanfront buildings, salt air is hard on metal. Porcelain pavers do not rust.

Our work
Pedestals during install
Every deck starts as a grid of pedestals. We set each one to height, check it with a laser level, then lay the pavers.
Details
Edges, drains and doorways
The details decide how a deck works in a storm. These are the parts we take the most care with.
- Steel drain grating sits on pedestals beside the pavers and lifts out for cleaning.
- Over a floor drain, we cut a paver so the drain stays reachable.
- At glass doors, we keep a clean, straight joint along the threshold.

Common questions
What are pedestal pavers?
They are outdoor pavers set on adjustable supports instead of mortar or sand. The supports keep the deck level while rain drains through the joints to the roof or slab below.
Will rooftop pavers blow off in a hurricane?
Wind is the main design question on a South Florida roof. We choose paver weight and edge restraints for your site. We confirm engineering needs with your building and city before we quote.
Will pedestals damage my roof?
They rest on the surface on protection pads, without fasteners into the roof. We check the roof's condition before we quote.
Can you build over an existing roof?
Usually, after we check its condition and slope. If the waterproofing needs work, it is easier to fix before the deck goes down. We have also set pavers on pedestals right over an old tiled balcony.
How high can the deck sit?
It depends on the pedestal system and the roof. Pedestals can keep a deck low on a nearly flat roof, or raise it to meet a door threshold. We measure and confirm the height on the site visit.
Do I need a permit or engineering?
Often on high-rises. Rules differ by city and by building. We check what your job needs with the building and the city before we quote.
Can I still reach the roof drains?
Yes. Drains stay under the deck, and the pavers above them lift out. Where a floor drain sits in the deck, we can cut a paver so it stays reachable.
