What goes into a good concrete pool deck in Redmond?
A concrete pool deck is the poured slab around your pool, and we build concrete pool decks in Redmond, WA, so they shed water and meet the coping, the cap along the pool's edge, without crowding it.
Most people call us because the old deck is chipping the edge, holding puddles or flaking, or because a new pool needs a deck around it. The price moves with the size of the deck, whether an old slab has to come out first, how much digging and packing the ground needs and how hard it is to get concrete into your backyard, while the schedule mostly turns on the weather, the permit question and how much tear-out comes first. Your own figure comes from the estimate, which lists each part of the job on its own line.
How do you know your pool deck needs work?
Chips along the pool edge
If the coping is chipped or cracked where it meets the deck, the deck is usually moving and pressing on it, often because no room was left at that joint. Every season you wait, more of the edge breaks, and coping repair is fussier work than a deck.
Water sitting after rain
Puddles that hang around mean a low spot or a slab that falls the wrong way, sometimes toward the house. Left alone, that water soaks into the top through the winter and the surface starts to flake.
Sections sinking or tilting
A slab that drops or tips usually sits on dirt that was raked level instead of dug out and packed. It tends to keep going, leaves trip edges for wet bare feet and can start sending water where you don't want it.
How we build a concrete pool deck
We start by breaking out the old deck if there is one, then dig down and pack the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, because a deck settles with whatever's under it. The spot where the deck meets the pool edge gets most of my attention, because a deck that shifts can chip the coping, so we leave room at that joint and plan where the water runs off before anything gets poured. Then we set forms to that plan, lay rebar, the steel that holds the slab together if it cracks, pour, and cut control joints, shallow cuts that give the slab a straight place to crack instead of a random one. When a budget gets tight, people usually want to trim the base because nobody sees it on day one, and I'd rather make the deck smaller than skimp on what's under it.
A deck usually ties into other work. If the yard steps down from a patio or back door, we can build the concrete steps in the same job so the levels line up, and if you want a pool house or equipment shed beside the water, our slab foundation building gives it a flat, solid floor.

Pool decks, permits and the ground in Redmond
Redmond requires a building permit for any project that isn't on its exempt list, and that list names sidewalks, driveways and detached decks but not pool decks, so it doesn't settle whether yours needs one. If it does, I'll tell you at the estimate and we handle the application and the inspection requests. If you'd like to ask the city yourself, Redmond's Development Services Center takes permit questions at 425-556-7000 or permits@redmond.gov. The city also requires contractors to hold a City of Redmond business license before working there, which is a fair thing to ask anyone bidding your deck.
The city lists a frost line of 12 inches, so winter frost reaches a foot into the ground here, and a deck that holds water can freeze and thaw soaked all season. That's why the runoff plan matters as much as the pour, and we plan for the same wet winters on jobs in Kirkland and Sammamish.
Questions about concrete pool decks in Redmond
(425) 285-8289How much does a concrete pool deck cost in Redmond?
Installed, a concrete pool deck in the Seattle area usually runs about $7 to $14 per square foot. That's the going rate in the market, not a quote from us, and where yours lands shows up in your estimate with each part of the job on its own line.
Why does a pool deck need a gap at the coping?
The gap lets the deck move without pushing on the coping. One coping maker's guide says that without a gap and flexible sealant there, a moving concrete deck can crack or chip the coping, so it's fair to ask any contractor to show you that joint in their plan. It's the room I mentioned leaving above.
How do I keep a concrete pool deck from flaking in winter?
Start with a mix that has entrained air and a deck that doesn't hold water. Concrete industry guidance explains that air worked into the mix helps concrete hold up when it freezes and thaws while soaked and limits flaking from ice-melt chemicals, so ask whether your mix has it. The same guidance says water standing on the surface for long stretches greatly raises freeze damage, which is why the runoff gets planned before the pour.
How do I take care of a new concrete pool deck?
Check the joint between the deck and the coping every year, and reseal it when the caulk cracks, pulls away or wears out. The coping maker's guide says most elastomeric caulks, the rubbery kind, last five to ten years, so plan on resealing at some point. Industry guidance also says to keep deicers, the chemicals spread to melt ice, off new concrete through its first winter.
Can I resurface an old concrete pool deck instead of replacing it?
Sometimes, if the old concrete is a good candidate for a coating. A coating over a deck that's sinking, cracked through or holding water just covers the problem, so the first step is having its condition checked. I'll look at yours at the estimate and tell you straight which way I'd go.
How do I check a concrete contractor's license in Washington?
Look the business up with Washington L&I's Verify a Contractor tool. The state requires every construction contractor to register with L&I and to be bonded and insured, and the tool shows whether a business has an active registration and a paid-up workers' comp account for any employees. It also shows safety violations and lawsuits against the contractor's bond.
