Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing in Seguin TX - a grippy deck that's easy on bare feet

Faded, rough or slick concrete around the pool? We renew a sound deck with a textured coating that grips wet feet and feels good barefoot.

Tan textured concrete patio surrounds a gazebo, with outdoor seating, potted flowers and dense hedges.

What does resurfacing do for a worn pool deck?

Pool deck coatings and resurfacing in Seguin, TX put a new cement-based layer over your existing concrete deck and bond it there, so the deck looks fresh, sits more level and gets a textured surface that's easier on bare feet, without tearing out the old slab.

Most of the pool decks I look at are faded, rough or stained, with a few cracks and maybe old paint flaking off. The first thing I check is whether the concrete underneath is still sound, because that's the concrete a coating is made for, and if it's heaving or breaking up I'd rather tell you now than coat it and watch it fail.

The price moves with how big the deck is, how much repair it needs first, whether an old coating has to come off and the texture and color you pick. The schedule turns on that same prep and on finding a stretch when the deck can sit unused, and the written estimate I give you after looking at it is where your own number comes from.

  • I check the deck for cracks, hollow spots and heaving before we agree to coat it.
  • Peeling paint or old sealer usually has to come off first, so the new layer can bond.
  • We work on the concrete deck around the pool, not the plaster or tile inside it.

What happens when you call about your pool deck in Seguin?

I come out to look at the deck myself, and our own crew does the work with me running the job. Here's how it goes from your first call to the walk around the finished deck.

  1. Call or send the form

    Call (830) 340-0036 or use the form, and we'll get back to you to set a time. Photos of the deck and the coping, the deck's rough size and any cracks you've noticed help me come prepared.

  2. I look at the deck

    I walk the deck, check the concrete for cracks and moisture, look at the joint along the coping and ask how you use the space. You get a written estimate that spells out the repairs, the finish and the price, so you know what you're paying for before you decide.

  3. We prep and coat it

    If you go ahead, we set a date, and our crew does the repairs, the cleaning and the coating with me on the job. Plan for the deck to sit unused for a while afterward, which the cure question below covers.

  4. Walk the finished deck together

    Before we pack up, we walk the deck with you so you can feel the texture underfoot and see the edge at the coping. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job.

How we handle pool deck coatings and resurfacing

First I check that the deck is sound, because a coating over concrete that's coming apart just comes apart with it. Then our crew repairs the cracks that can be fixed and cleans and preps the surface so the new layer can grab. We keep the gap at the pool's edge clear and caulk it, so the deck can move without cracking the coping. Last, we pick a texture with you, weighing grip on wet concrete against how it feels on bare feet, and put it down.

If your deck has old paint or a coating that's peeling, it has to come off before anything new will stick, and that's our concrete floor stripping and removal work. A lot of people who call about the pool ask about the garage too, and epoxy floor coatings are what we put down on indoor slabs like that.

  • Knockdown spray texture

    The texture is sprayed on and knocked down with the edge of a trowel, leaving a surface with grip that's still comfortable to walk on. It suits most pool decks, because that's where wet feet and bare feet meet.

  • A finer, flatter texture

    A tighter texture sweeps easier and feels smoother, but it gives up some grip. It suits covered patios and walkways a few steps back from the water better than the splash zone.

  • Color and finish coats

    Once the texture dries, finish coats go on to give the deck its color and a protective layer on top. This suits you if you want the deck to match the house or the coping, or just look new again.

Questions Seguin homeowners ask about pool deck resurfacing

These are the questions I hear most when I'm standing on a pool deck with a homeowner. If yours isn't here, ask me when I come out to look.

Can my pool deck be resurfaced instead of torn out?

Usually yes, as long as the concrete is still structurally sound. One maker of spray deck coatings says its product gives dull, sound concrete a colorful new surface without the mess and expense of tearing it out. If your deck is heaving or breaking up, I'll tell you a coating isn't the answer.

How much does pool deck resurfacing cost in Seguin?

I quote each deck after seeing it, because the size and condition change the number more than anything else. A plain texture in one color over a deck that needs little repair keeps it down, while a lot of crack repair, a failed coating to strip and work along the coping push it up. Your written estimate shows where the money goes.

How long does a new pool deck coating take before you can walk on it?

For one maker's spray deck system, the advice is to keep foot traffic off until the next day. So plan the job for a time when nobody needs the deck overnight, and don't book a pool party for that evening.

How does resurfacing affect the joint at the pool's edge?

A new surface shouldn't cover that joint, because the gap and its flexible caulk are what let the deck move without breaking the coping. One supplier warns that without them, deck movement can crack or spall the pool's edge. The same supplier says to check the joint every year and redo the caulk when it cracks, pulls away or breaks down, and most of these flexible caulks last five to ten years.

What does the City of Seguin require for permits and contractors?

Any contractor you hire has to be licensed with the City of Seguin and registered with the city before it issues a permit. The city's permits page also asks contractors for a copy of their liability insurance, so ask any contractor for that copy, us included, and we're fully licensed and insured. If you'd rather do the work yourself, the city allows it only on a home you own, live in and have registered as a homestead with the Guadalupe County Appraisal District, with the proper permits.

What causes cracks in a pool deck around Seguin?

Ground movement is a common cause, and about 52% of Guadalupe County's soil is high shrink-swell clay, which swells with moisture and shrinks as it dries, against a Texas average of 32%. That's county-wide background, not a reading on your yard, so I look at your cracks themselves before saying whether a coating will hold.
