He did a really clean job! The reason why you see all textured patches a little "raised" compared to the surrounding is because when you level the surface, you are leveling it with the texture, not the base. The way you can get a better job is to leave the level about a 1/16" below the texture so when you the final texture, it's truly level with the surrounding surface.
The patch looks great, but the “leak” in that straight pvc you showed isn’t a natural occurring leak. That hole is from their drill. I have photos of thousands of repairs. None of the cracks look like that. I’ve accidentally drilled into plumbing before too and that’s exactly what it looks like.

"How to watch someone repair my pool deck". Massive clickbait. Hire someone to do a fix, film them doing it, provide zero detail whatsoever on how to perform said fix, upload to youtube with a missleading title.

Thanks for the comment my friend. 😃
Always great to watch a SKILLED craftsman perform his art.
Yea, he was so good.
That guy LOVE his sponge!
He was amazing!
super helpful video much appreciated !
Thank you for the comment! appreciate you.
Hello. Yes, they are amazing. They repaired my pool. I really recommend them highly.
Thank you.
Was the same cement used for the texture 2nd step? Do you know what brand or product was used? Thanks
They used cement on the lower part and Marcite on the second layer. Then hard plaster for the texture.
What was the last product used for the texture top coat, I think i can add color to that and resurface some spots on my pool deck. Thanks

Great video and great work by Aaron's Leak Detection. What products were used? Thanks!
They used regular concrete, then Marcite, and for the texture he used fast drying plaster.

The previous owners drilled into the pipe.
@@JHTC ahh okay. That makes sense.
Jfc thank you. I have been trying to figure out how to match a pool deck texture without getting a hopper gun.
you're welcome.
Omg soooo much patience. I would need to work a little faster😮😮😮
Patience is a virtue, you have to wait to do the knock down finish.
What is the name of the white compound that is being used?
It’s a plaster compound called Marcite

@@JHTC Thank you very much!
I’m from Tampa and couple years ago we had Red Rhino pool leak detection and they left 3 patches looking like garbage plus they charge you big money
So sorry about that.
What kind cement is that
What products did you use?
They used sand then concrete to come up to 1/2 inch below the surface. Then Marcite, and finally hard plaster to finish the texture.
Have you tried to do it yourself yet?
Yea, I did. I rebuilt my concrete and refinished it using the same method, but I didn't record it.
The guy seems to be his first patch job to be honest.
I might of had a little help...
The guy in the video was very good at his job.
This doesn’t look like you did it yourself
The thumbnail says “I might’ve had a little help”

I showed you how to texture concrete.
