Pool deck cleaning in St. Petersburg
A clean, less slippery deck, without etching it or upsetting the pool water.
Sound familiar?
Is this your house?
Slippery dark patches
Algae in the shade and where the sprinklers hit.
A white line at the tile
Calcium from the pool water. That’s chemistry, not dirt.
Cool deck flaking
Too much pressure last time. It can’t be patched invisibly, so we go gently.
On the job
What you get back
A bright deck, less slippery underfoot, and pool water nobody has to rebalance.
- Algae gone from the shady corners
- Run-off kept out of the pool
- Coping cleaned by hand
How we do it
A pool deck clean, in order
Look at the surface
Cool deck, pavers, travertine or stamped concrete each take a different pressure.
Protect the water
Run-off directed away from the pool.
Clean
Surface cleaner on the open deck, hand work at the coping.
Rinse and check
Deck rinsed toward the drains, and the card.
What it costs
What decides the price of a pool deck clean
Every job is priced on a written estimate after somebody has looked at the surfaces. These are the things that move the number.
The deck size
Square footage around the pool.
The material
Cool deck and travertine take more care than plain concrete.
Sealing
Travertine and pavers can be sealed on a second visit.
The details
For the people who want every step
Every pool deck is a different material
Kool deck, pavers, travertine, stamped concrete and plain broom finish all take different pressure. Kool deck in particular will strip under a wand and cannot be spot-repaired invisibly.
Keeping it out of the water
Run-off is directed away and the pool is covered or the chemistry is checked afterwards. A deck wash that dumps detergent into the pool creates a second problem for somebody else to solve.
Coping and tile
The calcium line at the tile is chemistry, not dirt, and it does not come off with pressure. We will tell you what will and what needs a different treatment.

What people ask us about this
Will cleaning make my deck less slippery?
Yes, mostly. Algae is what makes it slick. Removing it helps a lot.
Do I need to change the pool water?
No. We keep the run-off out of the pool.
Can you remove the white line on the tile?
That’s calcium, and it needs a different treatment. We’ll tell you what will and won’t come off.
