We clean pool decks, walkways, entry drives and parking garages for Marco Island associations, and re-sand and seal paver areas so they stay safer between visits. $499Pool Deck Seal Starting Price6–12 moPool & Walk Cycle$799Entry Drive Starting Price ## 🧱 Pool Decks, Breezeways and Garages for Marco Island Boards Pool Decks · Walkways · Garages Pool decks on Gulf-front buildings collect algae in shaded corners, sunscreen near the water and salt everywhere. On pavers or coated concrete that adds up to a slick surface, which is a liability the board does not need. Walkways and breezeways see residents, guests and vendors every day, plus sand from the beach and rust from fixtures and railings. Rust needs its own treatment; bleach does not lift it. Parking garages and entry drives hold oil, tire marks and sand. Hot water and surface cleaners lift them without driving water into cracks in older concrete. On condo grounds, storms and routine washing steadily pull sand from paver joints. Polymeric re-sanding and a slip-resistant seal restore them and slow algae on pool decks. Many complexes on the island are gated and some have their own docks, so access and staging vary from building to building. We confirm contractor hours, parking and gate procedures with each manager before quoting, since each building’s documents set its own rules. **One island, dozens of separate boards.** Marco Island has no umbrella condo association. As our community page explains, each building has its own board and usually its own manager, and that shapes how hardscape work gets approved. We send a written scope with each surface listed separately, so it can go on a board agenda, be compared with other bids and be approved in pieces if the budget calls for it. **Inspection cycles and hardscape.** The City of Marco Island requires a milestone structural inspection for condo and co-op buildings within three miles of saltwater at 25 years, then every 10 years, and nearly every island condo sits inside that line. Florida's 2022 law, SB 4-D, also requires a Structural Integrity Reserve Study every 10 years for buildings three stories or taller. Pavers and pool decks are not structural, but engineers walk the grounds during these visits. A clean deck and drive make it easier to see cracks, settlement or rust bleed that might need a closer look, and we photograph anything unusual we notice so the manager has a record. **Seasonal buildings, seasonal timing.** The 2020 census counted 18,006 housing units on Marco Island, with 55.8 percent recorded as vacant, mostly seasonal homes, and the population more than doubles in winter. That pattern gives boards a clear window. Late spring through early fall means fewer cars in the garage and quieter pool decks, which makes sectioned work and sealer cure time far easier to manage. **Older Gulf-front towers.** Some of the island's buildings have stood for decades. Sunset House dates to 1969, South Seas to 1980 with a 134-slip dock, and Cape Marco has six towers. Older pool decks may already carry layers of past sealer or coatings. Before resealing we check for peeling and whitening, because new sealer does not bond well over failing film, and a deck with heavy buildup may need stripping before a fresh slip-resistant coat. **After Ian.** Hurricane Ian brought about eight feet of storm surge to Marco Island in 2022, and our community page notes that 21 condo buildings had elevators out of service afterward. Surge and flooding wash fine silt and salt into paver joints and leave sand base exposed. Where joints have been scoured, we remove the damaged sand at least an inch and a half deep and refill with polymeric sand rather than topping it off, which is what Alliance Gator recommends for repairs. **Two major storms in five years.** Hurricane Irma made its second U.S. landfall on Marco Island in September 2017, five years before Ian. Buildings that went through both may have paver areas that were patched, re-laid or partly replaced, so colors and joint widths can differ across one deck. We point out those patches before sealing, because an enhancing sealer can make the difference between old and new pavers more visible. **How the joint sand goes in.** Sand is only applied once the surface is fully dry. It is swept to about an eighth of an inch below the paver top, plate-compacted, swept and compacted again, then misted section by section with a shower-setting hose so no area dries out partway. On a large pool deck we work in zones so part of the deck can stay open while the rest is being sanded. **Rain, wait times and reopening.** Some polymeric sands are rain-safe in about 15 minutes on a well-drained base, while others need up to a day, and pavers set over a concrete slab can need 24 hours. Sealers also set their own wait after sanding, from about 24 hours on SEK Surebond's wet-look product to 30 days on a Techniseal film-forming sealer. Sand cure before sealing follows the label, so the manager gets a written schedule showing when each zone reopens. Residents can usually walk and park on resealed areas after about 24 hours, per the product label. **Choosing sealer for salt air.** A penetrating silane or siloxane sealer, such as SEK Surebond SB-4000, is breathable and acts as a water repellent and salt blocker, which suits Gulf-front decks that stay damp. Joint-stabilizing acrylic sealers help hold sand in walkways and drives. On pool decks we use a slip-resistant formula and avoid a heavy second coat, since manufacturers warn that can make dense pavers slick. Season PlanningThe island’s population more than doubles in winter. **Many boards book hardscape work from late spring to early fall**, when pools and parking are quieter.
