Seasonal care
Seasonal Openings & Closings
Deck and surround readiness timed to your pool’s opening and closing season.
01What this covers
When a pool opens and closes for the season, the deck and surround around it benefit from the same rhythm. In spring, we check footings and framing for frost movement and refresh sealant before the deck sees heavy summer use. Before closing, we clear planting beds, secure loose furniture anchors and inspect boards one more time ahead of winter.
This work is designed to help the structure handle freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal moisture; it is scheduling around your pool season, not a service on the pool itself or its water system.
A spring visit typically checks whether winter frost has lifted any footing slightly, whether fasteners have loosened, and whether sealant on wood decking needs a fresh coat before daily pool use starts. A fall visit focuses on clearing planting beds, securing anything that could shift in winter wind, and a last board check before the ground freezes.
Composite decking needs far less seasonal attention than wood, since it doesn't take sealant and resists moisture on its own; a seasonal visit on a composite deck is mostly a fastener and railing check plus the planting-bed work where a Premium package applies.
02Scheduling and pricing
Seasonal visits are booked as part of the maintenance offer and quoted after a short walk-through, since the time needed depends on deck size and whether planting beds from a Premium package are included. We coordinate the visit date around your pool opening or closing appointment where you let us know the timing in advance.
Booking both the spring and fall visit together at the start of the season is usually simpler to schedule than arranging each one separately, since we can plan the route across all our Lakeshore Road clients ahead of time.
A single seasonal visit typically takes two to three hours on a standard deck; a Premium surround with planting beds and pathway stone usually runs closer to half a day, depending on how much the beds have grown in over the season.
03Who this is for
Homeowners with an existing Granite Cove Pools deck who want it checked each spring and fall without having to flag individual problems themselves are the main audience here. It also suits anyone newly inheriting a built surround who wants a baseline inspection before their first full season using it.
If your deck was built by another contractor, we can still assess and service it; the first visit simply takes a little longer while we get familiar with how it was framed.
Families who host regularly around the pool in summer often find a spring check reassuring before the season of heaviest use begins, since it catches anything that needs attention while repairs are still straightforward.
Property managers overseeing a vacation rental with a pool deck are another regular client group, since a consistent spring and fall check gives them something concrete to tell guests and insurers about the condition of the outdoor space.
Whoever books it, the visit is scheduled at a time that works around your own plans for the pool and your household's calendar, not on a fixed date we set unilaterally without checking first with you.
