How is pool mastic priced in Ramona?
Pricing is simple, so there is nothing to work out yourself. Up to 80 linear feet is a flat $1,280. Past 80 feet you add $16 a foot up to 125, then $15 a foot up to 200, and $14 a foot beyond that. You get the exact number in writing before we schedule, and nothing is charged until the job is complete.
Is this really a one day job in Ramona?
Nearly every Ramona job is in and out the same day. We start first thing, and most pools are finished by early afternoon. The one thing you cannot rush is the 48 hour cure, so plan a weekend without swimming.
How often does pool mastic need replacing around Ramona?
Five to seven years is the general rule, but Ramona sits at the shorter end because of decomposed granite soils that move with every wet season. The honest test is your thumbnail: press the sealant, and if it does not give at all it has lost its elasticity and stopped doing its job, whatever it looks like from standing height.
Why not just fill the cracked part?
No. Patching is why so many joints get replaced twice. New sealant needs clean concrete on both faces to bond to, and if it is sitting on degraded old material it inherits that material's remaining life, which is usually close to zero. Full removal is the only version we offer.
What does the finished joint look like?
Grey or tan, both in a premium sanded finish. The sand texture matches typical deck surfaces so the joint reads as part of the deck rather than a stripe across it, and it is far less slippery underfoot than a smooth sealant. Most owners match the coping rather than the decking.
