How often should you clean your pool deck and cage in New Smyrna Beach?

Scroll to clean ↓

Short answer: Clean your New Smyrna Beach pool deck and cage every 6 to 12 months. 17% of homes here have a pool and 12% have a screened cage, and the shaded, splash-wet deck stains faster than the rest of the yard.

01

Why New Smyrna Beach is different

New Smyrna Beach's pool share, 17%, runs a bit higher than its cage share, 12%, so a noticeable number of pools in town sit without a screen enclosure.

A typical pool deck and cage cleaning here runs $249 with jobs ranging widely from $189 to $350 depending on the size of the enclosure, the widest range among the towns in this group.

Being coastal, New Smyrna Beach decks and cages deal with salt air along with splash and shade, which can dull an aluminum frame faster than an inland town sees.

With 53% of New Smyrna Beach built before 1990, a good number of the town's cages are old enough that the frame shows wear even when the screen itself is still holding up.

What to do

Step 1

Look over the deck's grout lines and shaded spots first for the first hint of green.

Step 2

Check the cage frame too, since salt air can dull aluminum here faster than inland.

Step 3

Have the deck and cage booked together from your New Smyrna Beach address.

Step 4

Consider Puma Pass so the 6-month coastal cycle runs without you tracking it.

Step 5

Rinse loose debris off the screen between visits after a storm to help the cage hold up between cleanings.

Questions people ask

Why is New Smyrna Beach's price range so wide?

$189 to $350 reflects a wider mix of enclosure sizes in town than some other coastal towns in this group.

Does an open pool without a cage still need regular cleaning?

Yes, an uncovered deck stays wet from the pool and needs attention on a similar 6 to 12 month timeline even without a screen.

Does salt air affect the screen mesh, not just the frame?

Salt residue can build up on the mesh too, which is part of why a coastal cage benefits from the shorter end of the schedule.
