How often should you clean your pool deck and cage in South Daytona?

Scroll to clean ↓

Short answer: Clean your pool deck and cage in South Daytona every 6 to 12 months. 15% of homes here have a pool and 8% a screened cage, and South Daytona carries the highest share of pre-1990 homes in this group at 80%, so a lot of these enclosures have had decades of Florida weather working on them.

01

Why South Daytona is different

A typical deck and cage clean in South Daytona runs $249 with the middle half of jobs falling between $188 and $320 depending on the size of the enclosure. County records count 4,922 homes across town.

With 80% of the town built before 1990, South Daytona's pool decks and cages skew older than almost anywhere else Puma covers, which usually means more years of buildup on both the concrete and the screen.

Sitting close to the coast, a South Daytona cage's aluminum frame takes on salt residue along with the pollen and leaf debris any screen collects outdoors, which can dull the frame faster than an older cage would show inland.

The town's median home runs 1352 square feet, a modest footprint, and homes this size tend to carry smaller decks and cages than the larger new-construction lots further west.

What to do

Step 1

Look over the deck's grout lines and shaded corners for a green tint settling in.

Step 2

Check the cage frame for salt residue or a chalky feel, a sign the coast is working on it.

Step 3

Have the deck and cage cleaned together from your South Daytona address.

Step 4

Lean toward the shorter end of the schedule given the town's age and coastal setting.

Questions people ask

Does South Daytona's older housing change how often cleaning is needed?

With 80% of the town built before 1990, the highest share in this group, older decks and screens here have had more time to build up grime than in a newer town.

Is $249 the price no matter the size?

That's the typical job; actual prices run from $188 to $320 depending on how big the deck and cage are.

Should the screen be cleaned along with the deck?

Most homeowners handle both in one visit, since the deck usually shows dirt first and the screen is a quick add to the same stop.
