Local facts, not general promises
Poured rubber and stone carpet surfaces. 1.6 million sq ft placed by this crew since 2013, internationally.
There is a reason the previous surface failed, and in West Palm Beach it is usually moisture rather than workmanship. The water table sits high. Concrete above it never stops giving off vapour, and a film applied before the slab has released that vapour gets pushed off from underneath inside a season or two. The homeowner reads that as a bad product. It was a bad moment. Prep on these decks therefore begins with the slab and not with the color. Old coating comes off until the concrete under it is sound, adhesion gets tested wherever the surface looks doubtful, cracks are opened, filled and primed, and only then does anything go down. What goes down is porous, so vapour leaving the slab has somewhere to travel instead of gathering underneath a sealed film. That single difference is why a poured deck holds where three separate coats of acrylic did not.
West Palm Beach keeps both ends of the century inside the same few blocks. A slab poured before the war is thin, hand finished and carrying several generations of paint. A condo deck from the eighties is thicker and flatter but finished in Kool deck that ran out of service life a long while ago, and on an unshaded west facing terrace it chalks out fast, because afternoon sun does damage that morning sun never gets around to. Same rate, different hours. The old slab wants patient grinding and testing before anyone talks about finish. The chalking condo deck wants that dust taken off properly before priming, which is the step most repaint quotes leave out quietly and charge you for again in year three. Both end up under the same seamless layer, both run 1 to 3 days on site, both carry the 2 year workmanship warranty, and both get one fixed number after a free measurement.
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.
