Deck Replacement:
- Replacement involves removing your existing pool deck by smashing it with a jackhammer and removing it. Quite often the skimmer and pool coping get damaged when your deck is smashed out. The best time to replace your coping and skimmer is before the new concrete is poured.

Repair Options:
- Epoxy coating can fill small cracks and make your pool deck look like new again. When putting any coating on your pool deck the most important steps are in preparation.
- Pressure washing and acid etching to open up the pores in your concrete will mean the difference between a finish lasting a decade to a finish that lasts only a winter. For a good 3 step epoxy concrete finish, be prepared to spend around $1000 in materials and a weekend of labour. There are many different textures and colours available, please inquire.
- Sierra stone is another option to refinish your pool deck and make it looking like new. This type of finish is best done by a professional, and has to be installed properly. Without proper installation, the stones will come loose and end up in your pool.
