Increase Safety
- Cracks can drastically decrease safety on your pool deck so here’s how repairing cracks can increase the safety of your deck:

What To Look For
Everything Else That Can Cause Problems
Gouging
- Just like cracks, gouges serve as an entry point for moisture to enter your concrete and under other coatings resulting in peeling
- Gouges are also an easy way to fail a premarket inspection when you are planning to sell your home
- Gouges can even drastically decrease the value of your home
Peeling
- Peeling coatings can remove your entire pool deck slabs coating resulting in a much more costly process than repairing the peeling coating in its beginning stages
- To repair peeling, we scrape back the coating until we reach a stable zone and use an acrylic bonder before replacing the peeled up section
Fading
- When using paints and sealers, they serve as the main form of traction and slip and skid resistance in most cases so your deck is a safety hazard with a faded sealer
- Along with slip and skid resistance, your paint is one of the main reasons your pool deck stays cool in the summer
