Multiple Repair issues

[Socal_biker]

Already looks better than the other pictures you have posted on your sight.

Under the circumstances (time & money)...

I would patch\fill all the cracks & damages on the deck, do an acid wash on the deck, and then paint the deck with some anti-skid deck concrete paint. That will make the patch jobs, and stains blend in more.

I would drain the pool and have the pool surface patched up and the steps repaired. I would also probably clean, prep, and paint the pool also.

For the most part you and some friends could do the majority of the work yourselves.

You may have to have a contractor repair the steps for you though. You can have the contractor redo the steps as they were or go with molded plastic/fiberglass steps imbedded into the wall of the pool OR have the steps removed and go for a metal pool ladder.

To paint the deck and pool with the misc supplies and prep stuff, should cost less than $1000 on the high end (with quality paints). It would make a world of difference appearance wise.
