What is the Best Option for Pool Deck Coating?

It will help to consult a professional on what option is best for your pool deck resurfacing. Below are a few of the most popular resurfacing options we have for pool decks.

  • Stamped concrete overlay: It would help if you use a stamped concrete overlay on a damaged swimming pool. It is a perfect option as it can act as a decorative component taking a natural look of wood, stone, or brick. This is a cost-effective option when relating it to a new pour; but, it’s expensive compared to the other two.
  • Concrete pool deck paint: this is a cost-effective resurfacing option you would consider. It is easy to apply, though it does not last long hence needing to re-apply every year. This may sound cheaper, but it ends up costing more when it comes to maintaining it.
  • Cool Deck: Are you looking for a comfortable and safe resurfacing option? The cool deck, also known as Spray texture overlay, is gentle for use in barefoot areas. One can customize this option from colors, aggregate effects, and score-lines to personalize the pool’s look.

What is the Cost of Resurfacing a Pool Deck?

It is cheaper to resurface your pool deck compared to tearing and replacing one. The average cost of pool deck resurfacing ranges from $5 to slightly above $10 per square foot. The cost of pouring a new deck is higher than that of resurfacing an existing one. Of course, the cost of pool deck resurfacing is determined by various factors, such as color, geo-location, size, materials, cracks on the surface, and any extra customization that you might need. Resurfacing your pool deck is something you can do by yourself. But, I would recommend you seek professional help to resurface your pool for a beautiful finish.

An Overview on How to Resurface Your Concrete Pool Deck

When applying on the sound concrete surfaces, you can spray or trowel concrete overlays on the surface. Stamps and stencils help in achieving beautiful and creative patterns like those on new concrete.  Below are a few guidelines to expect when resurfacing your pool deck:

  1. Prepare – make sure the surface is treated with chemicals for better results
  2. Clean – Using pressure, hose or broom, clean out any dust or debris to clean out the pool deck
  3. Mix – mix the integral colors and overlay product before applying on concrete
  4. Apply – Using a trowel or sprayer, apply the material on the concrete, then add the decorative treatments
  5. Seal – After the concrete is well cured, you should apply a sealer that helps in protecting your pool and making it last longer

Concrete Resurfacing The Easy Way

It is important to thoroughly clean the concrete with the pressure washer to remove all the dirt, grease, and little concrete pieces. Then it would help if you patched all the holes and cracks to hide them from the surface. The next step should be to flatten the concrete edges to create a clear and smooth surface. After that, follow the manufacturer’s guide on the option you are using.  After following all the processes, you will see the concrete spicing up and having an appealing outcome.
