Local facts, not general promises
Poured rubber and stone carpet surfaces. 1.6 million sq ft placed by this crew since 2013, internationally.
The Board of Architects reviews exterior work in Coral Gables, which means the deck you choose has to be described on paper before any of it is poured. That suits how we quote anyway. A poured rubber scope names the granule blend, the number of colors and the thickness, and a physical sample travels with it, so a reviewer looks at the finish itself instead of a product name. The harder part is the house.
Historic properties here carry slabs poured decades apart, an original terrace beside a later addition beside the pool surround, and a rigid coating shows every one of those seams within a season. Poured rubber crosses all of them as one continuous seamless layer, so the joins vanish under a single blend rather than sitting there patched to almost match. We build the color with you during the free measurement, and the fixed price covers the whole surface instead of the newest third of it.
Deep canopy is part of what people buy in the Gables, and it does something odd to a deck. Half the slab spends the day in damp shade and grows a thin biological film that no pressure wash on its own will lift. The other half takes full sun and bakes. A coating rolled across both halves without reading the difference bonds on the dry side and lets go on the shaded side, which is why so many decks here fail in patches rather than all over at once. So we test adhesion on both halves before pricing, grind and prime the shaded concrete harder, then pour one wear layer over everything. Heat is the other half of the trade. On a 91 degree afternoon the sunlit half of a concrete deck meets a bare foot at about 155 F, and our light blend gives back about 99 F, so both ends of the deck finally feel like the same deck.
Poured rubber starts at 8 dollars per sq ft installed. The number depends on how much prep your slab needs and how many colors you pick. You get a fixed written price after a free measurement, and if you already hold a comparable written quote we will beat it.
It depends on the municipality and on whether the work is like for like. We confirm the rule with your city before the job and state it in writing in your scope.
In most cases yes. Poured rubber bonds to the existing slab and bridges hairline cracks instead of telegraphing them. We grind, fill and prime first. If a slab has moved badly or sits on a failed base, we say so at the estimate rather than pour over a problem.
On a 91 degree afternoon a bare concrete deck hands your foot about 155 degrees. A light sand rubber deck hands it about 99. The full table with the arithmetic is here.
A typical residential deck runs 1 to 3 days on site and is walkable 24 to 48 hours after the final pour. Rain moves the schedule, since poured rubber needs dry weather to cure properly.
