Let’s be honest, most pool decks start looking rough after a few years. Stains you can’t scrub out. Fading from the sun. Cracks that keep spreading. You’re stuck pressure-washing every month just to keep it presentable. Meanwhile, you see those sleek, modern pool decks on Instagram and wonder how they stay looking so clean and fresh.
That’s porcelain pavers. Poolside Renos installs porcelain paver pool decks across Broward County that look contemporary, feel great underfoot, and require almost zero maintenance. These aren’t your typical pavers, they’re engineered to resist stains, never fade, stay cool in the sun, and look as good ten years from now as they do on day one. We’ve been working with porcelain since the material became popular for outdoor use, and we’ve figured out exactly how to install it for Florida’s climate.
One family-owned team that takes pride in creating outdoor spaces you’ll actually want to spend time in.
Porcelain pavers are awesome, but they’re also relatively new for outdoor use compared to stone or concrete. A lot of contractors don’t fully understand the material or proper installation techniques. They treat porcelain like regular pavers, skip critical steps, and you end up with lippage issues, improper drainage, or pavers that shift and settle unevenly. Then there’s the aesthetic side, porcelain comes in large format tiles that need precise planning and execution to look intentional rather than randomly thrown together.
Three Ways Bad Contractors Mess Up Porcelain Installations
Porcelain pavers often come in large formats (24×24, 12×24, even bigger). Unlike small pavers where imperfect layout gets hidden, large format porcelain shows every planning mistake. Misaligned grout lines, awkward cuts around curves, transitions that don’t flow, these errors are glaringly obvious with porcelain. Professional installation means careful planning, precise measurements, and layout that looks deliberate. Most contractors just start laying and hope it works out. It doesn’t.
Porcelain is manufactured to tight tolerances, which means it shows even slight variations in installation height. Lippage (uneven edges between tiles) creates trip hazards, looks unprofessional, and ruins the sleek appearance porcelain is known for. Proper installation requires precise leveling systems, quality mortar, and attention to detail. Contractors used to installing rough stone or small pavers don’t have the precision porcelain demands.
Here’s something a lot of people don’t realize: porcelain pavers are incredibly strong but they need proper support. Install them over an inadequate base and they can crack under pressure or develop hollow spots that sound terrible when you walk on them. The base needs correct compaction, proper drainage, and sometimes specific underlayment depending on the installation method. Skip these steps and your beautiful, expensive porcelain fails prematurely.
The reality?
Porcelain is an amazing material, but it’s not forgiving of poor installation. You’re investing in a premium product that should look flawless and perform beautifully for decades. That only happens when your contractor actually understands the material, has the right tools, and takes the time to do precise work.
At Poolside Renos, we’ve installed porcelain paver pool decks across Broward County since the material gained popularity for outdoor applications. We understand proper base requirements, use precision leveling systems, and plan layouts that showcase porcelain’s clean, modern aesthetic. Your deck will look as stunning as those Instagram photos because we know what we’re doing.
Done with contractors who wing it and hope for the best?
Step 1: Free Consultation & Design Planning
We come out, look at your space, and talk through what you’re envisioning. We discuss porcelain options, sizes, colors, finishes, whether you want contemporary minimalist vibes or something with more texture. You see actual samples so you understand how different options look in natural light. We give you honest feedback about what works for your space and style without pushing anything. This is your backyard, it should reflect what you want.
Step 2: Detailed Written Estimate
You get a comprehensive proposal covering site prep, base installation, porcelain material, installation labor, and finishing. Everything’s itemized clearly. We don’t hide costs or surprise you halfway through with “unforeseen issues” that magically require more money. What we quote is what you pay, assuming nothing genuinely unexpected comes up (which is rare if you’re working with experienced contractors).
Step 3: Permitting & Realistic Scheduling
We handle any permits and schedule your installation with timelines that actually make sense. Most porcelain paver installations take 1-2 weeks depending on size and complexity. We account for proper base curing, weather considerations, and the precision work that quality porcelain installation requires. No rushed timelines that compromise the final result just to move on to the next job.
Step 4: Site Preparation & Base Installation
We excavate to proper depth, install drainage solutions, and build a base that meets specifications for porcelain pavers. This might mean a traditional compacted base with sand bed, or a mortar/pedestal system depending on your site conditions. The base determines whether your porcelain stays level, drains properly, and performs well long-term. We don’t cut corners here because this foundation is critical.
Step 5: Layout Planning & Dry Fitting
Before anything’s permanently installed, we plan the layout. Where do cuts happen? How do grout lines align? Where are the visual focal points? With large format porcelain, planning matters. We dry fit to make sure everything works before committing. This step takes extra time but eliminates the “oops, that doesn’t look right” moments that happen when contractors just start laying without thinking it through.
Step 6: Precision Installation
Our crews install porcelain using leveling systems that eliminate lippage and ensure consistent spacing. Every paver gets checked for level and alignment. Cuts are made with proper equipment that leaves clean, professional edges. We work methodically because porcelain shows every mistake, there’s no hiding sloppy work with large format tiles.
Step 7: Grouting & Finishing
We use quality grout or joint filler appropriate for outdoor porcelain installations. Joints get filled properly to prevent weed growth and keep pavers stable. Clean-up is thorough because porcelain shows every grout smudge if not cleaned correctly during installation. The finished product looks clean, professional, and ready to use.
Step 8: Final Walkthrough & Care Instructions
We walk everything with you, explain maintenance (spoiler: there’s barely any), and answer questions. Porcelain is incredibly low-maintenance, but we still give you specific guidance about what products to use if you need to clean, what to avoid, and how to keep your deck looking pristine for years. We don’t just hand you a deck and disappear, we make sure you’re completely satisfied.

We Understand Modern Materials
Porcelain pavers are relatively new for outdoor residential use compared to stone or concrete. We’ve stayed ahead of the curve, learning proper installation techniques, understanding material characteristics, and figuring out what works in Florida’s climate. We’re not old-school contractors stuck in their ways, we embrace modern materials that offer real benefits.
Family-Owned Since 1998
We’re local owners who’ve been part of this community for over 25 years. We’re not some national chain with rotating crews. When you work with us, you’re working with people who live here, care about their reputation here, and will still be here years from now when you have questions. That matters more than people realize.
Precision Installation That Shows
Porcelain demands precision, level tiles, consistent spacing, clean cuts, proper grout lines. We use professional leveling systems, quality materials, and careful technique to deliver installations that look flawless. This isn’t something you can rush or fake. Either you know what you’re doing or the finished product shows that you don’t. Ours looks professional because it is.
We Source Quality Porcelain
Not all porcelain pavers are equal. We work with suppliers who provide consistent quality, proper ratings for outdoor use, and materials that perform well in pool environments. You’re investing in premium material, we make sure it’s actually premium quality, not bargain porcelain that chips, cracks, or fails to deliver on the promises the material is known for.
We Work with Homeowners Who Value Quality
We focus on areas like Weston, Boca Raton, Parkland and Coral Springs places where people understand that quality work costs more than cheap work and they’re okay with that because they want it done right. We’re not chasing volume or trying to be the lowest bid. We’re creating beautiful spaces we’re genuinely proud to show people.
Licensed, Insured, Actually Reliable
Full licensing, comprehensive insurance, and we actually show up when we say we will. We’ve been doing this for 25+ years, so we’re not some fly-by-night operation that disappears when issues arise. We stand behind our work because our reputation and our livelihood depend on it. That peace of mind is worth something.
