Yes. All of our work comes with a workmanship warranty. Specific warranty terms vary by project type and materials used. We provide full warranty details in writing before work begins.

Project timelines depend on scope and material. Most repairs take 1 to 3 days. Resurfacing and coatings typically take 3 to 5 days. Full installations take 5 to 10 days. We provide a specific timeline with every estimate.

We work with poured concrete, concrete pavers, travertine, flagstone, limestone, and stamped decorative overlays. Material selection depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and performance requirements in the Arizona climate. Learn more on our installation page.

Pool deck installation typically ranges from $8 to $25 per square foot, depending on material and complexity. Basic broom-finished concrete is on the lower end. Travertine and elaborate stamped patterns are on the higher end. We provide free estimates for accurate pricing.

In most cases, yes. Pima County and the City of Tucson require permits for concrete work near pools. We handle all permitting as part of the project.

Yes. We repair hairline cracks, structural cracks, expansion joint failures, and spalling. The repair method depends on the cause and severity of the damage. We assess every crack to determine the best approach. See our repair services.

In most cases, yes. We use leveling techniques including mudjacking and grinding to eliminate trip hazards and restore a smooth, even surface. If the settling is caused by underlying soil issues, we address the root cause as part of the repair.

We assess this during the site visit. Minor cracking and surface wear typically call for repair or resurfacing. If there is significant structural damage, widespread settling, or the deck is more than 30 years old, replacement may be the better long-term investment.

Resurfacing applies a new surface layer over your existing concrete deck. Options include decorative overlays, stamped patterns, and textured coatings. It is less expensive than full replacement and can completely transform the look of your pool area. Learn more on our resurfacing page.

A properly applied resurfacing overlay lasts 8 to 15 years in the Tucson climate, depending on the product, preparation quality, and maintenance. We use commercial-grade products rated for UV and heat exposure.

It depends on the cracks. Hairline surface cracks can be filled and resurfaced. Structural cracks caused by settling or heaving need to be repaired before resurfacing. We assess the condition of your deck before recommending resurfacing.

Cool deck is a textured coating applied to concrete pool decks that reduces surface temperature by reflecting solar heat. It can lower surface temperatures by up to 30% compared to uncoated concrete. Learn more in our cool deck guide.

A properly applied cool deck coating lasts 5 to 10 years in the Tucson climate before needing recoating. Maintenance, cleaning, and sealing can extend its life. We use high-quality acrylic coatings rated for Arizona conditions.

Yes. Cool deck is designed to be applied over existing concrete surfaces. The concrete needs to be clean, structurally sound, and properly prepped for the coating to adhere correctly. See our cool deck services.

Both have advantages. Pavers offer easier individual repairs, better drainage, and a premium look. Poured concrete is more affordable and offers a seamless surface. Travertine pavers stay cooler than standard concrete. We help you choose based on your priorities. See our comparison guide.

All surfaces get hot in direct Arizona sun. However, travertine and lighter-colored pavers stay significantly cooler than dark concrete or standard gray pavers. Material selection matters, and we guide you toward the best options for barefoot comfort.

Pavers require periodic joint sand replenishment and optional sealing. Individual pavers can be replaced if damaged. Overall maintenance is low compared to poured concrete, which cannot be spot-repaired as easily. See our paver services.

We apply epoxy coatings, acrylic coatings, rubber coatings, textured non-slip coatings, sealers, and decorative stains. Each has different performance characteristics. We recommend options based on your deck's condition and your goals. See our coatings page.

Coating longevity varies by type. Epoxy coatings last 5 to 10 years. Acrylic coatings last 3 to 7 years. Sealers need reapplication every 1 to 3 years. We use commercial-grade products and proper preparation to maximize lifespan.

While DIY coating products exist, professional application consistently lasts longer and performs better. Surface preparation is the most critical step, and improper prep is the number one reason DIY coatings fail. Read our coating guide for details.
