bad pool deck

[Jim Carroll]

this is one that I recently started.

this is the same area of the pool as the first pic. this is what the deck looked like after it was scarified. this crack was ground out before we filled it with epoxy.

will post after shots soon. This deck was about 1000 sf of total restoration. it was ground, cracks ground and repaired and their was also a couple of places that the concrete was patched on. It was done for a pool contractor. We did the deck and he did the inside. I am waiting on the afters(he is not finished).

I did use the pressure washer to wash away all the dust from grinding. On this one we used multicoat products "krete kote" & acrethane color sealer. you can check them out at www.multicoatproducts.com at my regular job we sell all different types of coatings and conrete repair products. So naturally I have started doing some of this type work along with the pressure washing.

driveways and patios are normally alot easier because you don't have a coating to take up.

Jim-

Look forward to seeing the afters. My partner has a grinder that we hook up to a vac system to suck up the particles. It looks like that old coating was just waiting to come up. Murphy's law always says different though..

We have a job waiting for approval that will require removal of 1/4" thick material that was improperly installed about 5 years ago. Grinding is kind of a pain but xtra $$.

Let's see those pics!

some areas popped up really easy and others took a while. we used a 12" scarifier and a 24" scarifier. I know you can rent the smaller scarifiers from places like sunbelt. They work really well for coatings like this. However, you still have to use a hand grinder to go around edges that are walled or fenced. Craig check out www.worldofconcrete.com it has a list of suppliers for just about everything dealing with coatings for concrete.

this is part of the deck after it was washed. It looks like we may end up putting a colorseal on it. The hoa picked the color, and now they think it is too dark. To make the customer happy we will put a colorseal (similar to paint). The original plan was to seal the deck with a clear sealer. which would look a lot like what you see in this picture. the light spots that you see is where it is starting to dry. this was sprayed and then knocked down with a trowel.

I will post more pic's monday after we finish.

Is this the Spray Mantis type sprayer? I assume or think it is similar to waht is used to shoot ceilings????

Deck looks good. Perhaps the HOA will change their mind after it all drys!

[Jim Carroll]

yeah, I think the Spraying Mantis is a hopper, that is what was used on this deck job.
