After a dozen years our pool deck had become quite dirty and had numerous cracks showing. We really didn’t want to go through the expense of resurfacing it, but I felt that it had to be done. I got three quotes from vendors, each of which had a different approach. All of the quotes were about the same, give or take a few hundred dollars. I chose Sundek because the representative who gave me the estimate spent quite a bit of time explaining the process, particularly the process of dealing with cracks.
Our old deck was what is known as a “salt finish” which leaves a speckled pattern of shallow indentations on the concrete surface, similar to the appearance of slightly pitted, weathered rock. Unfortunately, those indentations tend to attract dirt and, over time, actually become black. I power wash the deck as often as I can, but the dirt remained. In my mind, applying another salt finish was out of the question.
We chose the Sundek Classic Finish overlay. This system system consists of a water based acrylic polymer modified concrete product that is sprayed down onto an existing concrete surface and then “knocked” down or troweled down using the edge of a concrete trowel. The system is then scored to give the deck a unique decorative appearance.
We are very happy with the results. I also want to mention that the workers were knowledgeable, polite and attentive to details. The three attached photos show what the deck looked like before it was finished, what it looked like after it was finished, and some of the detailed work. I highly recommend Sundek.
