Concrete pool decks in Montebello CA - a deck built to protect your pool edge
Old deck cracked or pulling away from the pool edge? We pour a new slab with a sealed joint that protects that edge.
What goes into a good concrete pool deck in Montebello?
A concrete pool deck is a poured slab around your pool, and in Montebello we build it on a dug-out, packed base with a flexible, sealed joint where it meets the coping, the cap along the pool's rim, so the deck can move without pressing on the pool edge.
Maybe your old deck has cracks running toward the pool, or the pool is new and the dirt around it is still bare. The price moves with the size of the deck, the shape it has to follow around the pool, how much digging and packing the ground needs, and whether you want concrete steps or a walk tied in. The schedule turns on any permit the job needs and on the cure, because the pool-edge joint gets sealed later as its own step. I'll give you your own figure in a written estimate once I've seen the yard.

The pool-edge joint as its own step

The cheaper option, if it fits
If a less costly plan suits your yard better, I'll tell you so, even when it makes for a smaller job.
Concrete pool deck jobs we take on
Concrete is one choice next to natural stone and pavers, and the right plan depends on whether the pool is new or already there and how you'll use the space.

Why homeowners trust Complete Montebello Concrete Company with pool decks
I start by looking at the pool edge and the ground around it, because what you can't see decides how a deck holds up. We dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, with the care we'd give a slab foundation, and if the budget's tight, I'd cut somewhere other than the base.
On pour day we plan around the midday heat, since a slab that dries too fast can end up with a weak, dusty top. We cut control joints, shallow grooves that steer cracks to lines we choose, and seal the pool-edge joint once the slab has cured, the slow hardening that gives it strength. Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Pool deck questions we hear
How much does a concrete pool deck cost in Montebello?
A concrete pool deck in the Los Angeles area usually costs about $7 to $13 per square foot of deck. Where yours falls depends on the size, the layout and the ground, and I'll give you your own figure in writing after I see the yard.
Who gets the permit for a pool deck, me or the contractor?
Usually the contractor, and the state board's guide says that should be written into your contract, because without it you could be held legally responsible. If your job needs a permit, we handle the application and the inspections with the city or county office that covers your address.
How long does it take to finish a concrete pool deck?
The deck is poured first and the pool-edge joint is sealed weeks later, because one coping maker says to wait at least 30 days after the pour before caulking so the concrete can cure and shrink. I'll tell you when the deck is ready for foot traffic and furniture before that.
How often does the joint between a pool deck and the coping need new caulk?
Check it every year and replace the caulk when it cracks, pulls away or wears out, which is what the coping maker advises. Most of the rubbery caulks used there last five to ten years, so resealing is part of owning the deck, and we'll show you what to look for.
What causes a concrete deck to crack the pool coping?
Usually it's a deck poured tight against the coping with no gap, so when the slab moves it pushes on the edge. One maker's guide says that movement can crack the coping and the bond beam, the concrete band under it, which is why every deck we plan has a sealed, flexible joint there.
Will my new pool deck crack like the old one?
A new slab can still get fine cracks, but most of what you see on an old deck comes from a base that was raked level instead of dug out and packed, or control joints cut late or skipped. One building materials article says parts of Montebello have pockets of expansive clay that call for specific mixes on some sites, so I check your ground at the estimate.
What happens when you call about a pool deck in Montebello?
Each pool deck is planned around your yard, how you use the pool and the city's schedule, with the pool-edge joint sealed as a later step.
