Pool Decking Sealing, Painting, etc.

[bjsbuds]

Hope this is the right place in the forum to ask for this advice.

Our pool is 17 years old, our pool deck is brushed concrete with a stamped concrete border, which you can hardly see because we haven't put glossy sealer on it in a couple years. There are section that are deteriorating. The coping is poured concrete too. The cement is deteriorating, and has some cracks, which I filled today. Hopefully the photos show it well enough. We really do not want to replace the pool decking if we don't need to at this time.

I am wondering what others have opted to do to maintain their deck as long as they could. We like the look of our pool decking when spruced up, but interested in what the new options are.

I recently re-coated my aged Kool-Deck with the Encore Cool! product. It was a DIY job, and only took a few days.

Concrete Deck Coatings; Opinions, facts, personal experiences sought!

Hi, all... I'm in the process of making improvements to a pool (and house) I've had for less than a year. The cement deck was originally (from the 1980's documents provided) coated with Kool-Deck but I am pretty sure that this coating was gone over multiple times with one or more other...

My pool guy installed travertine pavers around our pool on top of crushed granite then sand, and today he sealed them with Enhance-N-Seal. I watched him do this from inside my house, and only later read that the sealant is supposed to be applied on a clean surface, and that it should not sit on top of the tile but rather should be wiped away within 10 minutes. The pool guy did not sweep the tiles before applying the sealant, and he did not go back over the tiles with a cloth or anything like that. He just painted it on with a brush and left. The tile surface is still tacky and there is some sand on the tiles that cannot be brushed away because of the tackiness. My main question is, should I ask him to remedy this in some way, or is this to be expected with pavers that have sand brushed between them? We are supposed to meet tomorrow morning to give him our final payment. Thank you in advance for any advice.
