Pool Deck Resurfacing in Dallas
New pool deck pours and resurfacing for existing concrete. Stamped, textured, and cool deck finishes that stay comfortable in Dallas summers.
New Pool Deck Pours
We pour pool decks around new and existing pools. The concrete goes right up to the coping, with expansion joints between the deck and the pool shell to allow independent movement. We slope the deck away from the pool to prevent runoff water from carrying debris back in.
Standard pool decks are 4 inches thick on compacted subgrade with rebar or welded wire mesh reinforcement. We pour 3,000 to 4,000 PSI concrete depending on the traffic load and finish type.
Finish options include broom finish, stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, and spray-texture coatings. Every pool deck finish we apply has slip resistance built in. Smooth trowel finishes are not appropriate for pool decks — they're dangerously slippery when wet.
Pool Deck Resurfacing
If your existing pool deck is structurally sound but looks rough, resurfacing saves you the cost of tear-out. We clean and prep the existing surface, apply a bonding agent, and trowel on a polymer-modified concrete overlay.
The overlay can be stamped, textured, or spray-applied depending on the look you want. Cool deck coatings are popular in Dallas because they reflect heat and keep the surface temperature 30 to 40 percent lower than standard concrete in direct sun.
Resurfacing costs about half of what tear-out and replacement costs. The overlay adds 1/4 to 3/8 inch of material, so it doesn't significantly change the deck height. It's a good option when the concrete underneath is stable and level.
Cool Deck and Heat Reduction
Dallas summers put pool deck surface temperatures over 140°F on standard concrete. That's too hot to walk on barefoot. Cool deck coatings and light-colored stamped finishes reduce surface temperature by reflecting solar radiation.
We apply spray-on cool deck textures that create a comfortable surface even in full sun. The texture also adds slip resistance, which makes it a smart two-for-one upgrade. Color options range from sandstone to slate gray.
If you're building a new pool deck, choosing a light-colored finish from the start eliminates the need for a cool deck overlay later. We'll walk you through the options and show you samples during your estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pool deck resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing runs $4 to $10 per square foot depending on the coating type and prep work. Cool deck spray texture is on the lower end. Stamped overlays are on the higher end.
What's the best surface for a pool deck?
Broom finish with a light color is the most affordable and functional. Stamped concrete with a cool deck sealer gives the best combination of looks and heat reduction. Spray-texture cool deck is the coolest surface option.
How long does pool deck resurfacing last?
A quality resurfacing job lasts 8 to 15 years depending on traffic, sun exposure, and maintenance. Resealing every 2 to 3 years extends the life significantly.
Can you stamp a pool deck?
Yes. Stamped concrete works great for pool decks. We use patterns and colors that complement the pool tile and coping. A non-slip additive in the sealer keeps the surface safe when wet.
