The short answer
We resurface pool decks across West Palm Beach and the rest of Palm Beach County. Resurfacing puts a new decorative surface over the concrete you already have, so you get a deck that looks new, has better grip and is cooler underfoot, without tearing it out.
Most decks can be resurfaced if the slab is solid. Cracks are repaired first; sections that have sunk or broken loose are replaced, then the whole deck is finished so old and new areas match.

Pool deck finishes we install
- Stone and tile patterns: a decorative overlay with stenciled stone or tile lines, in the colors you choose.
- Stamped finishes: pressed texture for the look of stone, slate or brick.
- Textured coatings: a light, slip-resistant texture that stays comfortable in the sun.
- Stain finishes: color worked into the surface for a natural, varied look.
- Clean and recoat: for decks that are still sound and only need new color and a sealer.
What is the best pool deck surface in Florida?
For most South Florida decks, a light-colored textured or patterned overlay is the best balance: it stays cooler than dark pavers or plain gray concrete, gives good grip when wet, and costs much less than replacing the deck. Pavers and travertine look great but cost two to three times as much because the old surface has to be removed or built over.
The coolest surfaces underfoot are light colors with some texture. Dark colors and smooth, glossy coatings get hot and slippery.
Resurface, repair or replace?
- Resurface when the slab is solid but the surface is cracked, stained, faded or rough.
- Repair first when there are cracks or small damaged areas; they are cut out, filled and blended into the new surface.
- Replace sections when slabs have sunk, roots have lifted them, or water drains toward the house or pool.
- Painting alone works for a sound deck that only needs color; it does not fix cracks or a worn surface underneath.
How we resurface a pool deck
- Look at the deck, mark cracks, loose areas and drainage problems, and agree on the finish and colors.
- Pressure-clean and prepare the concrete so the new surface bonds.
- Repair cracks and damaged areas; replace any slab sections that have failed.
- Apply the overlay or coating and create the pattern or texture.
- Seal the surface for color, stain protection and grip.
- Most decks take a few days, depending on size, repairs and weather.
Pool deck refinishing and care
A resurfaced deck stays looking new with a fresh sealer every two to three years. Rinse off leaves and pool chemicals, and avoid harsh acid cleaners. When the color fades after some years, the deck can be refinished with a new sealer or recoat instead of being resurfaced again.

Frequently asked questions
How much does pool deck resurfacing cost in West Palm Beach?
Typically about $4–$12 per square foot depending on the finish and repairs. For a 600–1,000 square foot deck that is roughly $3,000–$12,000. Your price is set after we see the deck.
Can a cracked concrete pool deck be resurfaced?
Usually, yes. Cracks are repaired before the new surface goes on. Sections that have sunk or broken loose are replaced first.
How long does a resurfaced pool deck last?
A well-prepared overlay or textured finish commonly lasts 10–15 years or more, with a fresh sealer every two to three years.
Is painting a pool deck a good idea?
Only for a deck that is still in good shape and just needs color. Paint does not fix cracks or a rough surface, and it can get slippery if it is not made for pool decks.
How long does pool deck resurfacing take?
Most residential decks take a few days. Larger decks, many repairs or rain can add time. You can usually walk on the deck soon after the sealer cures; we give exact times for your finish.
What is the best time of year to resurface a pool deck in Florida?
Any time without heavy rain. The drier months, roughly November to April, are the easiest to schedule. Call us to talk about timing for your deck.
