Pool Deck Resurfacing in Fort Worth

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

Pool deck resurfacing in Fort Worth 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.

Heat is the biggest factor on a Fort Worth pool deck. West-county exposure runs hot, and bare concrete or a dark finish gets hot enough to hurt bare feet through a long summer. A light cool-deck coating or a travertine overlay stays noticeably cooler underfoot, which is the main reason owners on the big west-side and Tanglewood lots resurface rather than repour. We finish for slip resistance at the water's edge so a wet deck is not slick.

On the structure, much of the west side sits on shallow limestone, which gives the slab a more stable base than the clay does east of the county. That means more west-side decks are sound underneath and good candidates for a coating or overlay over surface spalling and hairline cracks. Where a slab has actually cracked through or heaved out of level, a coating will telegraph the joint and crack again, and we tell you straight when a section needs replacing instead of resurfacing.

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 Fort Worth 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.

Yes, and it is the main reason owners here resurface. A light cool-deck coating or a travertine overlay runs cooler underfoot than bare or dark concrete, which matters under the hot west-side exposure. We finish for both lower heat and slip resistance at the water's edge.

If the slab is sound with surface spalling and hairline cracks, a coating or overlay resurfaces it for a fraction of replacement. On the limestone west side many slabs hold up well. Where a slab has cracked through or heaved out of level, a coating cracks again, and that section needs replacing. We look and tell you which.

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