SUNDEK BY BEAUTY-CRETE INC

Beauty-Crete poured a pool deck for Larry Friese Pools many moths ago. Their employees broke the light conduit and it got filled with concrete, making it impossible to run the light cord through the conduit. They admitted to doing it and the owner of Beauty-Crete agreed to pay the invoice from Larry Friese that he incurred in tearing out part of the deck, fixing the conduit, and pouring the concrete back. Beauty-Crete has yet paid the invoice even though they received it many months ago. I have had Beauty-Crete do some deck coatings for me but can not continue to do so if they won't pay their bills that they are responsible for. Larry Friese has photos that documents all the damage that was incurred.

My husband and I are very pleased with the finished product. The crew was professional, diligent and completed the entire project within 2 days.

Beautycrete made it look like new -- power-washed everything, repaired the spalled area, sprayed texture where it was thin, and painted. It looks great. Some additional observations for the informed buyer: 1) although they attached a floating plastic guard around the first 18" or so of the pool, my water was absolutely trashed when they were done. Muddy stuff in the shallow end, and I couldn't see the bottom in the deep. It took a solid week of suctioning and filtering and frequent filter backwashing, followed by a triple-strength chlorine shock, to clear it up. I'm really glad we did this in early spring before we wanted to use the pool. 2) a nitpick, but the bill was some $45 higher than the firm estimate due to taxes on materials. I expected the firm estimate to include all costs, but maybe that's just me. 3) They said they would take three days, but they finished in less than 1.5 days. They also moved the time up from when they said they could come. That's all good, but as a result I wasn't home to observe the process. They said they would give it 2 coats of paint, and I have to assume they did. If it starts peeling off next year, I will refresh this review. But for now, everything looks great.
