Pool Deck Cleaning in Matthews, NC

Matthews pool decks are dominated by 90s-and-00s concrete and an aging stock of Kool Deck textured coating, with some newer stamped concrete in recent builds. Kool Deck is the surface that demands the most care — it is a thin textured cool-touch overlay, and aggressive pressure will strip it right off the slab. We treat every Kool Deck pool surround at well under 1,200 PSI, relying almost entirely on chemistry and dwell time rather than mechanical force.

Matthews pool decks are dominated by 90s-and-00s concrete and an aging stock of Kool Deck textured coating, with some newer stamped concrete in recent builds. Kool Deck is the surface that demands the most care — it is a thin textured cool-touch overlay, and aggressive pressure will strip it right off the slab. We treat every Kool Deck pool surround at well under 1,200 PSI, relying almost entirely on chemistry and dwell time rather than mechanical force.

Our Matthews pool deck process pre-rinses to dilute pool splash, masks the coping line, and routes runoff toward landscape beds rather than the pool basin. On standard concrete we use a surface cleaner with a gentle alkaline detergent; on stamped we stay under 1,500 PSI; on Kool Deck we softwash only. We pull skimmer lids, protect drains, and finish with a clean-water rinse so sunscreen and body-oil films are gone and the deck dries slip-safe before your next swim.

Pool Deck Cleaning FAQs for Matthews

Local-specific answers and common service questions

We have Kool Deck around our pool — can it even be pressure-washed?
Yes, but very carefully. Kool Deck is a textured coating, not the slab itself, so we softwash it: pH-appropriate cleaner, generous dwell time, and rinse pressure under 1,200 PSI. Most contractors who damage Kool Deck were running a surface cleaner or wand at 3,000+ PSI. We do not.
Our older concrete deck is grey and stained — is that permanent?
Usually not. A lot of what looks like permanent greying on Matthews 90s decks is actually layered sunscreen, body oils, and organic mildew. Proper chemistry plus a surface cleaner typically restores most of the original tone.
When should we schedule for Matthews?
March through April for spring pool opening is the busiest window. Reach out by late February to lock in a date before Memorial Day.
Is it safe to pressure wash around a pool?
Yes, when using appropriate chemistry. We use pool-safe cleaning solutions that won't harm your water chemistry if they enter the pool. We're also careful about drainage direction and runoff.
Can you clean travertine pool decks?
Yes. Travertine is a delicate natural stone that requires low pressure and pH-neutral chemistry. We're experienced with travertine and other natural stone pool surfaces.
How often should I have my pool deck cleaned?
Annual cleaning is typical for most Charlotte homeowners. If your pool deck has significant shade or stays wet for extended periods, semi-annual cleaning keeps algae and mold from taking hold.
