How do you know your pool deck needs resurfacing?
Coating peeling or flaking
You see patches of old paint or sealer lifting near the pool edge and around the steps. That usually means water got under it or it went on over a dirty deck, and the longer it goes, the more peels off and the more we have to strip before we can recoat.
Stains that won't scrub out
Rust spots, leaf stains and dark patches that are still there after a pressure wash usually mean the old finish has worn through and the concrete is soaking things up. Left alone, the stains set deeper and the bare concrete wears faster.
Rough, slick or cracked spots
Spots that feel gritty under bare feet or slick when wet, or thin cracks running across the deck, usually mean the surface is worn out. Small cracks are an easy fix now, but once water works into them they spread, and a deck that's cracking all the way through may need more than a coating.
What does resurfacing a pool deck in Pinecrest involve?
Pool deck coatings and resurfacing in Pinecrest, FL means cleaning your existing concrete deck down and spraying a textured coating over it so the surface is slip resistant and comfortable to walk on, then adding a finish coat that sets the color and protects it.
Most of the decks I look at around Pinecrest are fine underneath and just tired on top, with an old sealer that's peeling, stains from leaves and pool water, and a few hairline cracks. The price mostly comes down to the size of the deck, how much old coating and grime has to come off, how many cracks need repair and which texture you pick. The schedule turns on the weather and on how much fixing the deck needs first, so I'll lay out your own numbers in the estimate after I've seen it.
Details to note before an estimate
- Rough size of the deck
- Full sun or shade
- Cracks or peeling old coating
- Texture and color you like
How we handle pool deck coatings and resurfacing
First I make sure the deck is solid underneath, because we resurface decks that are sound, and if yours isn't I'll tell you straight. Then our crew scrubs off the old sealer, dirt and grime, since one maker's guide warns that old sealers and oil can act as a bond-breaker and keep a new coating from holding, and its texture needs concrete that's completely clean. We fix the cracks and chips, and then we help you pick a texture that feels good under bare feet. One maker offers a knockdown finish, flattened with the edge of a trowel, and an untroweled spray texture with an orange peel look that can go right onto existing concrete, so the shape your deck is in decides whether a base coat goes down first.
When the old coating is thick or coming off in sheets, a scrub won't cut it, so we take it down to bare concrete first with concrete floor stripping and removal. For a covered lanai next to the pool, epoxy floor coatings can work well, though a Florida guide notes epoxy can peel in direct sun without UV inhibitors, so it suits shaded spots best.

Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal

Epoxy Floor Coatings
A covered lanai, garage or indoor slab out of the sun can take a glossy epoxy floor that wipes clean after pool days.
What happens when you call about your pool deck in Pinecrest?
Call or send the form
You call (786) 435-0197 or send the form, and most of the time I'm the one who calls you back. We pick a time for me to come see the deck.
I come look at the deck
I check the slab, tell you what it can and can't take, and hear what you have in mind for the look and feel. You get a written estimate that spells out the prep along with the finish, so you see what you're paying for before you decide anything.
We check permits and schedule
Before we start, we check with the city or county office that covers your address on whether the job needs a permit, and in the Village of Pinecrest an application has to be signed and notarized by you or your representative and by a registered contractor. If one's needed, we handle our side of the paperwork and walk you through the part you sign, then we set a date.
We coat it and walk it
Our installers clean, repair and coat the deck, and I'm on site with them through the job. When it's done, we walk the finished deck with you before we pack up.
Questions before you book pool deck resurfacing
Is resurfacing a pool deck worth it compared with replacing it?
Usually yes, as long as the slab underneath is still solid. A Florida guide says full replacement costs three to four times more and takes a week or more, while resurfacing can often be done in one to two days. If I find your deck is cracked through or moving, I'll tell you at the estimate that a coating won't fix that.
How much does pool deck resurfacing cost in Pinecrest?
It depends on your deck, so I give you a figure after I've seen it instead of guessing over the phone. Size matters most, then how much old coating has to come off, how many cracks need repair, whether a base coat goes down first and which texture you choose. The written estimate breaks the prep out from the finish so you can see where the money goes.
How long does a resurfaced pool deck last?
A Florida guide puts a properly resurfaced pool deck at 8 to 15 years, depending on where it is and how it's kept up. The same guide says inland decks resealed every 2 to 3 years last 10 to 15 years, coastal decks resealed every 12 to 24 months last 8 to 12, and a screen enclosure stretches that by cutting sun and rain. Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee, and I'll talk through the upkeep that fits your deck.
What is the best time of year to resurface a pool deck in Pinecrest?
A Florida guide names December through April, the dry season, as the best time to resurface. It says the daily afternoon thunderstorms from May to October keep coatings from curing properly, so it pays to get your estimate done before the dry months fill up.
Who licenses pool deck contractors in Miami-Dade County?
Miami-Dade County's Contractor Licensing Section licenses the contractors and tradesmen who work in the county. Its rules include a Concrete Finish Contractor, certified to put surface treatments on concrete someone else poured, fresh or hardened, though tile, plaster and stucco fall outside that work. We're licensed and fully insured, and it's worth asking any contractor how they're licensed before you hire.
Does a pool deck coating stay cooler than bare concrete?
One maker says its textured surface is comfortable for bare feet and cooler than concrete, brick or tile. The same maker says its non-porous finish coat keeps dirt, oils and chemicals from soaking in, which cuts the time and money you spend on upkeep.
