In January 2023, Hilton Garden Inn in Scottsdale, Arizona, faced severe issues with its hotel pool deck and patio area. The existing coatings had failed multiple times, and the concrete was extensively cracked with water damage. Frequent repairs were costly and ineffective, prompting the hotel to engage Rock Star Coating Pros for a complete overhaul of the deck system.
