Why Joints Fail Here

Hollywood Hills is hard on expansion joints.

Hillside drainage is the other half of the Hollywood Hills problem. Water moving downslope finds the open joint and runs under the deck rather than around it, and on a graded lot that water has somewhere to go, which means it takes base material with it.

Concrete is not the expensive part of a pool deck. The base underneath it is, and the joint is the only thing keeping water off that base. Replace the sealant on schedule and the deck lasts decades. Leave it open and the base does the failing, invisibly, until the surface finally shows it.

Hollywood Hills is a regular stop on our Los Angeles County route. We book these first thing in the morning so the crew is prepping while the deck is still cool, which gives the sealant the best possible bond.

How It Works

Pool mastic replacement in Hollywood Hills, three steps, one day.

Measure and lock the price

The joint is priced by the linear foot, so there is no guessing and no range. Measure it yourself from aerial imagery in Google Maps, or let us confirm it when we arrive. Either way you have a fixed figure in writing before anyone picks up a tool.

Strip it back to clean concrete

The old sealant comes out completely, along with whatever previous patches are buried in there. We cut both faces back to sound concrete, vacuum the channel, and set backer rod at the right depth so the new bead can flex the way it is designed to.

Install, tool and cure

Premium sanded polyurethane goes in, grey or tan, tooled just below deck level so nothing catches a bare foot. The crew is usually off site the same afternoon. Keep everyone off the joint for 48 hours and the pool is yours again.

Hollywood Hills In Detail

What is different about pool decks in Hollywood Hills, and what is not.

Local Conditions

What actually shortens joint life in Hollywood Hills.

The canyon communities have two things working against the joint at once. Underneath, graded lots settle unevenly for a long time. Overhead, the canyon pulls warm air through by day and drops it sharply at night, so the daily temperature swing here is wider than a few miles away on the flat. Wide swings mean more expansion and contraction, and more cycles through the bead every year. Hollywood Hills is not unusual in that respect, it is simply typical of Los Angeles County. The pools near Outpost Estates, Nichols Canyon, Laurel Canyon and Mount Olympus were mostly built within the same decade, so their joints are hitting the end of their service life at roughly the same time.

Decks We Seal

The decks and coping we work on around Hollywood Hills.

A lot of these properties have the pool deck, a spa surround and a patio all meeting in the same few square metres, with joints running between each. They do not all move the same way or the same amount. Each run gets rod sized for its own width rather than one size used everywhere, which is the part that decides whether they all still look right in three years. On Hollywood Hills properties we size the backer rod to the joint we find rather than to a standard, and we cut both faces back to sound concrete before anything new goes in. That is the part you never see and the part that decides how long it lasts.

On The Day

How a job in Hollywood Hills runs, from booking to cure.

Access is the thing worth sorting in advance around here. Narrow driveways, shared gates and tight side returns are common, and knowing about them before the day means we bring the right setup rather than working round a surprise. Everything reaches the pool by hand, so there is no heavy plant on your drive. We cover Hollywood Hills out of the same Los Angeles County schedule as everywhere else we work, with no travel surcharge and no minimum beyond the smallest price band. Hollywood Hills is part of Los Angeles, and we work the whole of it, so if your pool sits on the boundary it makes no difference to the price or the schedule.

The same everywhere. Price, process and warranty do not change by postcode. It is the same crew, the same commercial grade material, the same full removal wall to wall and the same two year written warranty whether the pool is at the coast or an hour inland. We price by the linear foot and we do not add a travel surcharge anywhere in our service area.

Hollywood Hills Questions

What Hollywood Hills pool owners ask us.

How is pool mastic priced in Hollywood Hills?

Four bands, no guesswork. A flat $1,280 up to 80 linear feet, then $16 per foot to 125, $15 per foot to 200 and $14 per foot beyond. The bigger the deck, the lower the rate per foot. Your E-Quote gives you the exact figure for your Hollywood Hills address in about a minute.

Grey or tan, which should I pick?

Two options, grey and tan, both sanded. The texture is the point: it blends with brushed concrete and stone decking, and it gives grip where a smooth bead would be slick when wet. If you are unsure, matching the coping almost always looks better than matching the deck.

Do you work in Outpost Estates?

Yes. Outpost Estates is one of the areas we cover in Hollywood Hills, along with the rest of the city. We hold CSLB license #924754, and we carry the certificates most HOAs and property managers ask for.

What happens if the joint fails again?

Two years on both product and labour, issued as a written certificate in your name. Paying the invoice does not waive it. If something needs attention inside that window we come back and rectify it at no cost, provided we are given access to inspect the work.

Is this really a one day job in Hollywood Hills?

Single day, start to finish, for a standard residential pool. Larger commercial and HOA decks sometimes run to two. Either way the 48 hour cure window afterwards is fixed, because that is what gives the joint its full service life.
