"Contacted them to by phone on 7/16/21 at about 9:30 am was told the estimators were busy but was asked to send an email of photo's I had of the problem as well as my contact info and estimator would be in touch. I sent email and received a reply from Billing Mgr at 10:02 am. That is the last I heard from them. Ended up getting work done by another company that actually replied back to me (that same day). With all of the other glowing reviews of this company on Angles list, I'm surprised."

The drying process for pool deck paint happens in stages, with initial drying allowing light foot traffic after the first day or two. However, complete curing—the point at which the paint reaches its full hardness and durability—takes significantly longer.Â
Weather conditions play a crucial role, with humidity and temperature affecting drying times. For best results, follow manufacturer guidelines and plan your project during a period of stable, moderate weather to ensure proper curing without interruption.
Painting offers an economical alternative to full replacement when your pool deck remains structurally sound. With painting costs ranging from $3 to $8.50 per square foot versus much higher replacement expenses, refreshing with paint makes financial sense for many homeowners.Â
Beyond cost savings, painting can dramatically improve appearance, enhance safety with slip-resistant finishes, and extend your deck's useful life. However, if your deck shows significant structural deterioration, investing in replacement might prove more economical long-term.
The ideal painting window occurs during moderate temperature periods with low humidity and minimal chance of precipitation. For most regions, spring and fall provide optimal conditions that allow proper paint application and curing without extreme heat or cold interference. Avoid scheduling during your region's rainy season or periods of high humidity, as moisture significantly impacts paint adhesion and curing. Planning your project during the pool's off-season also minimizes disruption to your swimming schedule.
When selecting between epoxy and acrylic formulations for concrete surfaces, consider durability requirements, application complexity, and budget constraints. Epoxy products, while more expensive at $100 to $200 per gallon, deliver superior chemical resistance and longevity, making them ideal for high-traffic or commercial settings.Â
Acrylic alternatives offer easier application and quicker drying times, but require more frequent reapplication. Your climate, pool usage patterns, and comfort with application techniques should guide your selection for optimal results.
