The surface was pockmarked and uneven, water was pooling (no pun intended) in spots, and the concrete had two different colors. As it was a brand new pool deck, the homeowner was not too happy with how it looked and called us to see if we could help. One look at it and we knew right away that a concrete overlay would solve their problems.
An overlay is ideal for pool deck resurfacing as it can resolve minor issues for a very economical price, especially when compared to tearing it out and repouring it.
Some of the common problems we are asked to fix are color variations, a little bit of unevenness, pitting, hairline cracking, and staining (usually from Mother Nature). What it can’t do is repair major issues such as wide cracks or concrete that has been “heaved”, i.e., lifted up or dropped down by tree roots or ground swelling.
