The deck, the cage, the coping.

A Miami pool deck is three jobs in one: the surface (usually travertine, marble or pavers), the screen enclosure cage above it, and the coping stones at the pool edge. We clean all three in one visit.

What’s on a pool deck in Miami.

Mildew — the universal South Florida invader, especially in shaded corners
Iron-staining — from well water or municipal water with mineral content
Sun-screen residue — yes, your spray-on SPF leaves a film
Tannin — from oak, mango, banyan if you’re under canopy

Each one needs its own chemistry. We don’t use a single “patio cleaner” — we identify the contamination and treat it.

Surface considerations.

Travertine: porous, can’t take high pressure. Soft-wash only.
Marble: even softer. Soft-wash with neutral pH chemistry.
Chattahoochee: river pebble in epoxy. Tolerates moderate pressure but the epoxy is fragile.
Concrete pavers: most forgiving. Surface cleaner works well.
Stamped concrete: similar to driveways; surface cleaner + post-rinse.

Screen cage cleaning.

The aluminum framing oxidizes white in Miami’s salt air. The screen mesh holds mildew. We soft-wash both with a neutral cleaner — no harsh sodium hypochlorite on aluminum, because it can pit the finish. Expect 1–2 hours additional time depending on cage size.

Pricing.

Pool deck only (≈ 400 sq ft): $179
Pool deck + screen cage soft wash: $279
Deck + cage + coping detail + tile line surface clean: $349
Add Travertine sealing: $0.55–0.85/sq ft, quoted on site

We don’t restore unsealed travertine that’s been allowed to discolor for years. That’s a stone restoration job.

About this service

Will the chemicals affect the pool?

No. We use a low-volume biocide and rinse before any runoff reaches the pool perimeter. Free chlorine in a pool is the same chemistry we're applying — at a lower concentration than your pool already runs.

Can you clean the screen cage?

Yes. Soft-wash from a ladder or boom, depending on cage height. Removes the green-black mildew that lives on every Miami screen cage.

What about the coping stones?

Included. We treat the coping and the bond beam tile line. If your tile line has mineral build-up — that's a pool-tech job, not a wash job, but we'll point out the difference.
