Like everything else that is constantly exposed to the elements, pool decks get weathered and damaged over time. This not only robs them of their good looks, but leads to deterioration that can cause the need for expensive repairs. One of the best ways to protect your concrete pool deck is to have it painted. This both provides a new appearance and stops further damage from happening. However, it takes much more than getting out a roller and a can of paint to do the job right. It also requires careful surface preparation that can go far beyond what would be done for an interior wall or similar painting job.

Preparing the Pool Deck for Painting
The first thing that needs to be done is repairing existing damage to your concrete pool deck. Cracks, spalling, crumbling material, and pieces of aggregate that have loosened must all be dealt with. This can take hours for professionals and days for lay people.
Once the structural elements are fixed, it's time to tackle any stains that are present. These should be removed if possible, and if they can't be entirely eliminated, they should at least be greatly diminished. This is because dark stains will show through certain paint colors. The next step is to clean, degrease, and etch the concrete. This stage helps to ensure that the paint will adhere to the pool deck well enough to last for years.
These steps are very time-consuming, and they require meticulous attention to detail. When you hire Cole's Painting and Pressure Cleaning to do the work, you don't have to spend days doing hard labor and you won't have to worry that you missed a spot. All of the prep work will be expertly done before the painting begins.
Painting the Concrete Pool Deck
There are important considerations involved in the painting stage of a pool deck restoration project. The most important one is the choice of paint. This goes far beyond picking a color. The paint not only has to be able to handle normal outdoor conditions, but also frequent exposure to pool water and foot traffic. It also needs to be non-slip. Regular paint is very slippery when wet, which makes it unsuitable for use near pools.
At Cole's Painting and Pressure Cleaning, we make sure to choose paints that perform well in the harsh environment found around swimming pools. We also use paints that include sand or other non-slip additives so that you can walk on your finished pool deck safely even while you're dripping wet from just getting out of the water. We offer an extensive selection of colors, so you don't have to sacrifice good looks to get a durable, safe new coating for your pool deck.
