Pool Deck Cleaning in St. Augustine, FL

What a pool deck cleaning includes

A pool area is three jobs in one: the deck, the enclosure and the details along the edges. Here's what goes into it:

• Surface cleaner across the deck, pavers or concrete
• Turbo nozzle detail work on stubborn spots and edges
• Spot treatment for algae, mildew and rust
• Screen enclosure frame and screens cleaned at low pressure
• A full rinse of the deck and edges
• Before and after photos of your pool area

Screen enclosures: the pressure matters

The fastest way to turn a cleaning into a repair bill is too much pressure on a pool cage. Screen mesh tears, older screening cracks, and replacing panels costs more than the whole cleaning did.

Jordan cleans enclosures at a pressure the screen can handle and lets the cleaning do the work instead of force. Brennan Reine had his house, driveway and pool cage done, all on one job.

Why pool decks wear out so fast here

Pool decks take a beating from three directions: chlorine from splash-out, full Florida sun and moisture that never really dries. Wet feet, pool toys and furniture keep the surface damp, and shaded corners grow algae that turns slick.

That slick film is a safety problem, not just a looks problem, especially with kids running around the pool. Catching it early keeps it a quick cleaning instead of a heavy one.

Paver pool decks and sealing

A lot of pool decks around here are pavers, and with water on them so often, the joints lose sand faster than a driveway does. Once the deck is clean, it can be re-sanded with joint sand and sealed to lock the joints and protect the color.

Jeannie Ramirez had her house, driveway, pool pavers and fence done. If your pool deck is pavers, the paver sealing page explains what a full clean, re-sand and seal looks like.

What affects your price

Every job starts at $225, the minimum for any visit.

Every pool area is quoted on its own because no two are the same. These are the things that move the number:

The fastest way to a quote: text a wide photo of the deck and one of the enclosure to (904) 412-8080.

• Deck size, and whether it's pavers or concrete
• How heavy the algae and mildew are
• Screen enclosure size, and whether it's included
• Rust or other stains that need spot treatment
• Whether you want the pavers sealed after cleaning
• Furniture, planters and grills to move

When cleaning isn't the right call

If screen panels are already torn or the mesh has gone brittle, cleaning won't fix them. Those panels need a screen repair company, so it's worth pointing them out in your photos and everyone knows going in.

Pavers that are sinking, heaving or rocking around the pool need an installer to reset them before they're cleaned and sealed. If the whole property is due, a house wash on the same visit finishes it all at once.
