Pool Deck Resurfacing in Dallas

Cool-deck coatings, overlays, and travertine or paver overlays for tired Dallas pool decks. Resurface over the existing slab where it makes sense.

Pool deck resurfacing in Dallas runs about $6 to $15 per square foot for a coating or overlay, well under the cost of tearing out and repouring. We resurface tired concrete decks with cool-deck coatings, cementitious overlays, or a travertine or paver overlay set over the existing slab. The right route depends on whether the slab underneath is still sound.

Dallas black clay is hard on pool decks. The soil swells and shrinks with the weather and the slab rides on top of it, which is why so many older Lakewood and Lake Highlands decks show cracking and surface spalling. A coating or overlay covers spalling and hairline cracks and gives you an even finish again. Where the clay has actually broken the slab or heaved it out of level, a coating will crack again over the moving joint, and we tell you straight when a section needs replacing instead of resurfacing.

Two things matter on a deck you walk barefoot on through a Dallas summer: heat and grip. Bare concrete and dark finishes get hot enough to hurt, while a light cool-deck coating or a travertine overlay stays noticeably cooler underfoot. We finish for slip resistance at the water's edge so a wet deck is not slick.

If the deck is going, the coping at the water's edge is often due too, and handling both at once gives you one even transition from the cap to the deck instead of a patched seam. See the rest of our Dallas pool work for the full picture on a tired pool.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A coating or overlay runs about $6 to $15 per square foot, well under a full tear-out and repour. Cool-deck coatings sit at the lower end; travertine or paver overlays cost more. We measure the deck and give a fixed price.

If the slab is sound with surface spalling and hairline cracks, a coating or overlay resurfaces it for a fraction of replacement. If Dallas clay has broken the slab or heaved it out of level, a coating cracks again over the joint, and that section needs replacing. We look and tell you which.

Yes. A light cool-deck coating or a travertine overlay runs cooler underfoot than bare or dark concrete, which matters when kids are running barefoot in a Dallas July. We can finish for both lower heat and slip resistance at the water's edge.

Surface spalling and hairline cracks are covered by a coating or overlay. Cracks that move with the soil will telegraph back through unless the underlying slab is addressed first. We check what is causing the crack before we resurface over it.
