Pool deck coatings & resurfacing in Cedar Hill TX - a coating built on a sound slab
Chalky, cracked or worn pool deck? We check the slab first, then put down a finish that suits your sun, budget and wet feet.
I check every deck myself
I come out to look at every job and write the estimate myself, so the person pricing your deck is the one who checked the slab. Our own trained installers handle the prep and the coating, not a crew we've never met.
Prepping concrete right since 2013
I learned concrete prep working beside an installer who'd done it a long time, then started this business in 2013. We're known for coatings that stay put, because we spend the time on the concrete before anything goes on it.

Pool deck coatings and resurfacing in Cedar Hill
Pool deck coatings and resurfacing put a new surface over the concrete around your pool, whether that's a basic coating, a textured overlay or a decorative finish, once the repairs are done. It's for Cedar Hill pool owners whose deck looks tired but is still solid underneath.
The first thing I look at is the slab, because a coating only holds as long as the concrete under it does. Big cracks, heaving or settling get fixed before anything goes on, which adds a step. After that, the finish you choose sets the price, since a basic coating stays near the low end while a textured overlay, a decorative finish or a bigger repair pushes it higher. Your written estimate spells out the prep and every coat.
The schedule turns on the weather, the repairs and the finish you pick, and we plan around them. Before we start, we check with Cedar Hill Building Inspections about your job. It issues permits for construction and repair, and its list names roofing and plumbing but not pool decks, which is why we ask. If your job calls for a permit, we take care of the paperwork, and you can reach the office at citypermits@cedarhilltx.com or 972-291-5100, ext. 1090.
Slab prep, coating choice and grip on pool decks
Checking the slab before we coat
Before we coat a deck, I check it for big cracks and settling, because a coating can't hold a broken slab together and usually splits right along with it. Those spots get repaired first. If there's an old coat that's peeling, our crew takes it down to bare concrete, the same work we do on concrete floor stripping and removal jobs. One coating maker says inadequate prep will virtually assure poor results, and I'd put it the same way, which is why we spend the time there.
Picking a finish for your budget
The finish is the biggest choice you'll make. One Dallas contractor calls acrylic coatings the budget option and says they need re-coating after 3 to 5 years in a Texas climate, while a good overlay system routinely lasts 10 to 15 years. So you pay more up front for an overlay and redo it far less often, and I'd lean that way if the budget allows. If you've seen epoxy floor coatings in a garage, ask me about sun before you settle on it. Whichever you choose, it's satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
Talking through grip for wet feet
Wet bare feet are the whole point of a pool, so we talk through grip when you pick the finish, not after. One coating maker says coated surfaces may be slippery when wet and some may need a slip-resistant additive, so that's part of choosing yours. Heat matters underfoot too. One maker says its deck coating runs cooler than bare concrete, though how much depends on color, air temperature, time of day and direct sun on the deck.

(972) 299-0201What happens on a pool deck job
I look at the deck
You call (972) 299-0201 or send the form, and I come out to check the slab for cracks and settling and hear how you use the deck. Then you get a written estimate that spells out the prep and every coat.
Prep and repairs, timed to the heat
Our own installers do the repairs and prep. One coating maker wants the air and deck between 50 and 90 degrees F and suggests early morning or night work when the surface runs hotter, so we schedule around that.
Coating, curing and a final walk
Our installers lay down each coat the estimate lists, plus any slip-resistant additive you chose, then the deck cures before anyone walks on it. Before we pack up, I walk the finished deck with you so you can see it up close.
Pool deck resurfacing questions from Cedar Hill owners
How much does pool deck resurfacing cost in Cedar Hill?
Across the US, pool deck resurfacing usually costs about $3 to $12 per square foot, and that's the market's range, not a quote from us. As I said above, the finish and the repairs decide where your deck lands, and I'll give you a written estimate for yours once I've measured it and checked the slab.
Can a cracked pool deck be resurfaced?
Usually, yes, as long as the slab underneath is sound. One Dallas contractor says large cracks, heaving or significant settling need fixing before resurfacing makes sense, so a deck that has shifted or split gets repair work first. If yours has moved too much, I'll tell you plainly that it isn't a fit yet.
Does epoxy hold up on a pool deck in Texas sun?
Not in full sun, usually. The same Dallas contractor says direct Texas sunlight makes epoxy yellow and chalk, though it can work on a shaded pool deck, and it isn't their top pick for pools in full sun. If your deck sits in shade most of the day, it's worth a conversation when I'm out.
How soon can we use the pool deck after resurfacing?
One coating maker says its deck coating lets concrete go back into service in 48 hours, and other products vary. Counting prep, repairs, coating and cure time, many pool deck jobs take 2 to 5 days, and weather or product choice can stretch that, so we'll plan your deck's downtime with you up front.
