Spalling on the amenity pool deck

Spall on the amenity deck is what residents feel with wet feet. It is not a garage-slab crack.

Spall on a community pool deck is what wet feet feel every weekend. Precision Concrete & Construction looks at amenity decks when the surface is popping, the aggregate is showing, or a lip has opened at a joint next to the water.

HOA managers in Orange, Seminole, Brevard, Volusia, Osceola, and Lake counties often fold this into “concrete repairs” with the sidewalks. It is not the same pour. The deck stays wet. Chlorine and sun work the surface. Residents walk it barefoot. A garage-slab crack, or the pad under a pavilion, is a different file. The cracked-slab guide is the cut-out. The pavilion-pad guide is the slab under a shade structure. This page is the deck around the pool.

What the board should see

Nikki Mejia walks the deck. The proposal should say whether the surface is a patch, a section replacement, or a larger takeout, and it should say so in lines a director can find at the amenity. A lump sum that says “pool deck” is hard to vote on. If a drain in the deck holds water, that is its own note. If the coping is a different material, say that before anyone treats it like broom concrete.

What this is not

This is not a pool-equipment bid, and it is not a finish match from a photo. Nikki will say, after the walk, what the repair will look like next to the deck that stays. Call (407) 925-7873 for a free assessment, or email info@precisionpaintandconstruction.com. Send a photo of the deck in daylight, from the water side, so the spall is obvious before the visit.
