Almost every unhappy pool deck job we hear about was a scope misunderstanding rather than a workmanship failure. The surface was fine. The owner expected the coping, or the tile, or the furniture, or the planting to be part of it, and it was not. Pool deck resurfacing scope is narrower than most...

A saltwater pool deck is not being eaten alive. That is the first thing to say, because the internet has convinced a lot of homeowners that a salt chlorine generator is going to destroy their concrete. It runs at a salinity well below seawater and the water itself is not aggressive. What is...

Homeowners around Cumming and the north Atlanta suburbs usually ask the same two questions in a different order: how long is my pool out of service, and what is actually going to happen to my deck. The pool deck resurfacing process is not complicated, but it runs in a fixed order and every step...

Pool deck drainage is the problem nobody calls about. People call about a slippery patch, a stained corner, a crack that keeps coming back or a surface that failed early.
