There are many benefits of having a stamped concrete overlay pool deck installed. Decorative concrete opens the door to endless possibilities as far as colors, textures, and patterns. Many people overlook the importance of a quality pool deck even though you will spend twice as much time on the pool deck as you will in the pool. Some things you need to consider when building a new pool or resurfacing your existing pool deck are functionality, quality, and safety.

Decorative concrete is less expensive than natural paving materials. One of its biggest advantages is that its installation is a custom process, meaning you decide what texture, pattern, and colors compliment your backyard, and your color choices are unlimited. Another very important benefit of our stamped overlays is they are significantly cooler than plain concrete (very comparable to kool deck). Our stamped overlay material is vehicle traffic strength, which means your pool deck will withstand the normal wear and tear a pool deck receives. As an owner of a stamped overlay pool deck I can also say that it really helps hide the dirt, which means less time you need to spend either spraying or blowing off your pool deck and you can spend more time enjoying your pool.

Slip resistance is the most important safety concern regarding pool decks since the surface will often be wet. Our stamped overlay textures of granite, slate, or flagstone significantly helps with this. As an added safety measure we also use nonskid on all of our coatings.

A stamped concrete overlay pool deck will significantly outlast other man-made materials such as kool deck (cool deck), acrylic lace, and troweled textures and will ultimately enhance your outdoor living experience.

Pool Deck Repair

According to AZCentral.com, 42.8 percent of Phoenix homes have a swimming pool, while the national statistic is 15.7 percent (yet another way in which The Desert City is beating out all the competition!). The 2010 Census lists 590,149 “housing units” in the city – that’s homes, to you and me – meaning there are substantially more than a quarter million pools.

No doubt, there are the same number of pool decks. 

That’s a lot of acreage, all combined, so it should come as no surprise that pool deck repair and pool resurfacing projects are fairly commonplace. Finding a business which can deal with your repairing cool deck, promptly and reliably, is no more difficult than clicking the Contact Us button at Ultimate Concrete Coatings’ website.

The Ultimate Coatings Package:

Ultimate’s expertise extends back over several decades, with founder and CEO Thomas Krupinski starting his own business in 2007. His pool deck repair company now offers two incentives that are unmatched by any other area provider:

•  Free consultations. If your home is within a full 100-mile radius of downtown Phoenix, Ultimate will attend your property for free, consult with you, conduct a professional survey, and provide a guaranteed estimate of pool deck repair costs and lead times.
• Unlimited lifetime warrantee. All Ultimate pool deck repair projects, no matter the size, come with an unlimited warranty which covers both materials and labor.

 Our Pool Deck Repair Service

For many families, the pool is the focal point of almost all their social activities. The pool deck, then, tends to be a gathering place for friends and neighbors, also, so should be one of the most attractive – as well as functional – parts of your home.

The benefits of good maintenance include:

• Increased enjoyment of the home while you reside there
• Enhanced home value, and speedier sale, when you decide to move
• The “stitch in time” factor; concrete structures respond well to ongoing maintenance, so dealing with small issues before they become big issues is typically cheaper in the long run (and far more convenient immediately)
• Money Savings from having to resurface pool completely

Once an Ultimate specialist has personally reviewed your requirements and preexisting pool deck, you can have your dream area brought back to life within a perhaps-surprisingly limited budget, in a very short time. Offering many different pool deck repair resurfacing textures and finishes, a brand new look and feel for your stay-cations is only one click or phone call away.

 Pool Deck Repair

Ultimate can even replicate Kool Deck (often misspelled “cool deck”) surfaces. Kool Deck was first marketed by Tucson company Mortex in 1962, and has changed little in formula or application since. It must be applied to freshly poured concrete, and fades under the Arizona sun. These factors make it impossible to repair a small section, and extremely difficult to color-match when larger areas are being replaced.

Ultimate exceeds the qualities of Kool Deck (cool deck) by applying an acrylic lace formula when conducting repairs. While the best results are achieved by carrying out the process across the entire pool deck, we can also conduct repairs on a joint-to-joint basis. This allows customers looking for a “quick fix” – perhaps aimed at a home sale – to have a great job done while saving money.

Because the practice of shooting lace varies between contractors, it may not be possible to exactly match preexisting patterns or textures with a small repair.

Even resealing the surface using colors may not result in the repaired area looking exactly the same as the old. Further, due to the many variables that are beyond our control, Ultimate is unable to warrantee repairs and reseals to other companies’ coatings. There is a certain degree of risk that homeowners take, therefore, in repairing small areas, and this is why Ultimate always recommends full deck treatments.

Cool Deck Repair

Cool Deck Repair for Pools and Patios

At first glance, the idea of a concrete deck around a pool, where most everybody has bare feet, may seem a little counter-intuitive. After all, Phoenix’ temperatures are routinely above 100 degrees for approaching six months every year, and concrete – when exposed to direct sunlight – is typically some 30 degrees higher than surrounding air temperatures. That’s where cool deck repair comes in.

If your family and friends have unbearable experiences when they come to visit, Ultimate Concrete Coatings’ pool deck repair and pool resurfacing service can solve your problems.

Why Choose Ultimate Concrete Coatings for your Pool Deck Repair?

Ultimate Concrete Coatings is led by Thomas Krupinski, founder and CEO, who still personally oversees many of the company’s cool deck repair projects. Mr Krupinski founded Ultimate in 2007, with a determination to provide “good quality, honest work for decent middle-class homeowners.”

No subcontractors are ever used to fulfill an Ultimate obligation. All our trucks are crewed by full-time employees, who are dedicated to providing a level of cool deck repair service that the CEO would appreciate when he visits a jobsite.

As explored further below, we use cool deck repair materials that are vastly superior to any available to the general public. This combinations assures you, the customer, of the best possible result, first time, every time.

We choose the name “Ultimate” for that very reason.

Benefits of Cool Deck Repair:

As noted, bare concrete can easily reach 140 degrees on an ordinary Phoenix summer’s afternoon (we have an average of 17 days a year when ambient temperatures exceed 110). Five minutes of exposure to a 130-degree stream of water will give a third degree burn to a child’s skin. An Ultimate cool deck repair removes that risk completely.

The Ultimate Pool Deck Repair Process:

Most pool owners have heard mention of Kool Deck over the years (although it’s often, mistakenly, written as “Cool Deck”). Kool Deck is a proprietary trademark of Mortex, the concrete products company, and – while it works well – can only be applied as part of the process that builds a pool deck in the first place.

It cannot be retrofitted, which means it cannot be part of a cool deck repair.

 At Ultimate, we use products that are entirely comparable to Kool Deck (or “cool deck”), but which are designed to form part of a repair process. These products are not available to the general public, and cannot be bought at home improvement warehouse stores. Kits sold at such locations are inferior in terms of quality and application process, and cannot be guaranteed.

Learn More:

With one call to Ultimate Concrete Coatings, you could be on your way to a newly-repaired, cool concrete pool deck. We’re so confident of our expertise, and of the quality inherent in every repair we carry out, that we offer a two-fold incentive that’s unique all across the Valley of the Sun:

• We will come to you, entirely free of charge, if you live within a full 100 miles of downtown Phoenix. Our on-site consultation involves exploring what your ambitions are for your pool area (including patios and walkways), and a professional inspection of the preexisting installation. We’ll explain precisely what needs to be done to effect the repair, and provide you with a graven-in-stone price within a couple of days.
• We offer an unconditional, 100 percent satisfaction guarantee on every cool deck repair, and it remains in force for the lifetime of your ownership of the property, no matter how long that may be.

Resurfacing the Cracked Concrete vs Replacing with Pavers 

You love your home and everything about it. You take care of it and as something breaks, you repair it fast. However, you’ve stopped short when it comes to your cracked patio, drive, or walkway. Older patios, walkways, and even driveways can crack. When cracks appear, it’s not a lost cause—and you don’t have to start from scratch, why not replace or improve?

Many Options are available when dealing with ugly, cracked concrete:

Cracked concrete can cause issues. The good news is that you have options on how to fix it. While you may be thinking about discarding it and starting anew, there is a much better solution for Arizona homeowners. Concrete can easily be resurfaced and made to match any home façade. If you want a beautiful stone-look, you can resurface concrete with a stamped stone finish that blends beautifully with your home. If you prefer a tile or limestone look, you can get a stamped concrete pattern that matches that too. Although there are other options, you may want to weigh the pros and cons of a concrete driveway versus stone. With stone, pavers will shift and loosen over time. When this happens, you will need to replace the paver. Although, if stones start to sink, you may be looking at redoing the entire installation.

Safety Considerations of Cracked Concrete:

Cracked concrete is unsightly, and it can cause unsafe conditions as well. When concrete cracks, it can become hazardous allowing homeowners or guests to trip and fall if it gives way. However, stone pavers also have safety issues too. In fact, homeowners are more likely to trip and fall on a loose paver. There are other safety concerns too, some worry about concrete becoming slick when wet, but for Phoenix metro residents, that’s not really an issue. According to the U.S. Climate Data, the Phoenix metro areas, which include Gilbert, Tempe, Scottsdale, and Mesa, only receive an average number of 15 days with rainfall. Plus, concrete can be resurfaced to include textures that keep from getting slick. Therefore, concrete is a great solution for the Phoenix region.

Cost Comparison of Concrete Resurfacing vs changing out to Pavers:

Resurfacing an older driveway or patio can save your wallet too. Resurfacing concrete offers a lot of options for a fraction of the price. A professionally high-end paver patio or driveway can run upwards of $30 to $40 per square foot installed. While concrete resurfacing will run anywhere from $4 to $10 per square foot finished product. If you choose to go with a stamped concrete pattern, you may pay a little more, but most likely you’ll still come out much cheaper than with a stone paver option. If you decide to get a bit creative, you can still save and achieve a great look. Try using a decorative stamp for the edges of your drive, patio, or walkway, this will still provide a great high-end look but without a lot of the cost.

Lower Maintenance than stone: Concrete is a durable product and virtually maintenance free.

Driveway AfterYour concrete professional can seal your newly resurfaced area and you’ll enjoy it for years to come. Plus, concrete can easily be washed with just soap and a hard brush to help restore the beauty. With stone pavers, you may be subject to adding sand between the pavers. Furthermore, if you try to wash it, you will most likely loosen the sand causing the pavers to move. Plus, if a paver comes loose, you will need to replace it.

Concrete Coatings Provide Prettier Options:

While cracks are just one reason to resurface, you may have other reasons too. Depending on your concrete area, you may have stains or discolored areas that need to be brought back to life. Discoloring happens from exposure to automobile leaks, chemicals, weather, or other equipment. Resurfacing your old concrete can give a completely new look. There are many different options such as epoxy coatings and stamped overlays which are very versatile and durable. Not only can you choose the look of stone, cobblestone, slate, or brick, but you can also choose wood patterns. Concrete is great product when it comes to colors too. Colors can be chosen based on a color palette and then darkened or lightened based on preference.

When looking to resurface a concrete area, talk to a licensed ROC concrete contactor. A professional concrete installer can tell you exactly how long the repair will take and give youa free estimate. Make certain to ask for references. A good concrete installer can resurface concrete and be able to give you suggestions on how to make your cracked concrete look just like new. Plus, a professional, like the Ultimate Concrete Coatings team, can revisit the pros and cons to a concrete driveway.
