What does a pool mastic job cost in Brentwood?
We price by the foot rather than one flat rate, because a small courtyard pool and a long resort deck are not the same job. Up to 80 feet is a flat $1,280, then $16 a foot, stepping down to $15 a foot past 125 feet and $14 a foot past 200. Most Brentwood pools land in the $1,280 to $2,200 range.
How long will my Brentwood pool be out of use?
One day for the overwhelming majority of residential pools. The crew arrives between 8 and 9, strips the old joint out, preps, installs and cleans up. The pool then needs 48 hours before anyone gets back in so the sealant cures fully.
When should Brentwood owners expect to redo the mastic?
Most joints get five to seven years. In Brentwood we typically see them go earlier than that thanks to hillside cut and fill lots where the deck and the shell settle at different rates. Do not judge it by appearance. A joint can look fine and be completely rigid, and a rigid joint is no longer absorbing any movement.
Why not just fill the cracked part?
Never. A patch bonds to the failed sealant underneath it, not to the joint faces, which is why patched joints tend to let go within a season or two. Removing the whole run costs a little more on day one and is the reason we can warranty it for two years.
What colors do you offer?
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.
