What it is
Pool Deck Resurfacing in Albuquerque
Pool deck resurfacing repairs the cracks in a concrete pool deck and covers it with a new coating that stays cooler underfoot and grips when wet. The slab stays where it is; the surface you walk on is new.
The coating people usually mean when they say cool deck is "Kool Deck", a polymer cement overlay made for pool decks that reduces surface heat and adds slip resistance. Resurfacing suits driveways, patios and garage floors too, but a pool deck is where bare feet meet hot sun and splashed water, so a top layer that stays cooler and grips is the whole point.
Cool Deck and Overlay Coatings for Home and Commercial Pools
We apply two kinds of finish to residential and commercial pool decks: cool deck polymer cement coatings and decorative overlays.
These are the pool deck coatings we apply, starting with the one we suggest first.
-
Where we start
Cool deck coating
The textured finish we suggest right at the water's edge, where feet are bare and wet. It also costs less per square foot than a stamped overlay.
-
Stamped overlay
A decorative overlay pressed with a pattern over the old slab, for a deck where the look comes first.
-
Overlay
A thin new layer bonded over sound but worn concrete, for a deck that is solid underneath and only tired on top.
-
Sealer
What looks like peeling color on a decorative deck is usually old sealer, which we strip and reseal. Fresh sealer can be slick when wet, so we keep it off the walking surface at the water's edge.
How a job goes
How a Pool Deck Is Repaired and Recoated
We clean and prepare the deck, repair the cracks and loose coating, then apply the new coating, and a cool deck coating takes 2 to 3 days from start to finish.
These are the steps of a pool deck job, in the order we do them.
Clean
We clean the whole deck and grind it where needed, so the new coating has a sound surface to bond to.
Repair cracks
We repair the minor cracks, patch chipped spots and remove any loose old coating before anything new goes on.
Coating
We apply the new coating across the deck, a textured cool deck finish or a decorative overlay, whichever you chose.
Cure
The coating cures before the deck goes back into use, and we clean up when the work is done.
What it costs
Pool Deck Resurfacing Prices
A cool deck coating typically costs less per square foot than a stamped overlay, and your deck's size and condition set the total. Here in Albuquerque the typical range is $4 to $8 per sq ft, which comes to about $3,200 to $6,400 for an average-size deck.
Those are typical ranges, not our quote. Cracks to repair, old coating to strip, the finish you choose and how easy the deck is to reach all move the price, so we look at the deck and quote the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after.
A Cooler, Safer Deck Around the Pool
A cool deck coating reduces surface heat and adds slip resistance, the grip that bare or freshly sealed concrete lacks when wet.
Here is what the coating changes on the deck you walk across every day:
- Cooler underfoot. The polymer cement overlay reduces the heat a deck soaks up in full sun.
- Grip when wet. Its texture adds slip resistance right where wet feet and splashed water land.
- No slick seal coat. Freshly sealed decorative concrete can be slick when wet; a cool deck top is made to be walked on wet.
When a Pool Deck Needs Leveling or Replacement
Minor cracks can be repaired before the deck is resurfaced, but major structural damage may need removal and replacement first. A deck that has sunk or broken into separate sections is past what a coating can fix, and we tell you so at the estimate rather than coat over it.

FAQ
Pool Deck Answers
The questions pool owners ask us most about recoating a concrete deck. If yours is not here, call and ask it.
(505) 520-1760How much does it cost to resurface a pool deck?
In Albuquerque a cool deck coating typically runs $4 to $8 per square foot, about $3,200 to $6,400 for an average-size deck. A stamped overlay costs more per square foot, and the deck's size and condition set the total. We quote the whole job free before we start.
Can I resurface my pool deck myself?
The prep is most of the job: the deck has to be cleaned, ground where needed and patched, its cracks repaired and any loose coating removed before a new finish goes on. A cool deck coating then takes 2 to 3 days from start to finish. If you would rather hand it off, the estimate is free.
What is the best material to use for resurfacing a pool deck?
For a deck people walk on barefoot and wet, we start with a cool deck coating: "Kool Deck" is a polymer cement overlay that reduces heat and adds slip resistance. If a decorative pattern matters more to you than the price, a stamped overlay gives you one.
Can a concrete pool deck be resurfaced?
Yes. Resurfacing suits pool decks as well as driveways, patios and garage floors. Minor cracks are repaired first; major structural damage may need removal and replacement before any coating goes on.
