Pool Deck Resurfacing

Replace or Resurface Your Deck?

Pool deck resurfacing often fixes surface-level stains or small cracks. This process involves applying a new concrete overlay to the existing slab, which can update the look and texture. However, this is only a solution for cosmetic issues.

If your deck has deep cracks over a quarter-inch wide, is uneven, or has drainage problems, resurfacing is a temporary fix. These are signs of foundation issues. A full replacement is the more cost-effective choice long-term, because it solves the root problem instead of just covering it.

Concrete Pool Deck Finishes

Look Beyond Standard Gray Concrete

Your concrete pool deck does not have to be plain. We offer stamped concrete that mimics the appearance of natural slate, flagstone, or even wood planks without the high cost or constant upkeep of those materials. This design adds a decorative touch to your outdoor area.

Another popular choice is a colored concrete finish. With this option, pigment is added directly to the mix, so the color is consistent throughout the entire slab, not just on the surface. We can help you select a finish that complements your home’s style and your family’s needs in Alameda or Contra Costa County.

Pool Decks FAQs

Common questions about Pool Decks

How long does a new pool deck installation actually take?

A standard pool deck installation in Contra Costa or Alameda County typically takes 4 to 6 days. Firstly, day one involves demolition and preparation. Secondly, day two is for forming and pouring the concrete. Finally, the following days are for finishing, sealing, and cleanup. While you can walk on it after about 48 hours, we recommend waiting a full 7 days before placing heavy furniture on the surface to allow for proper curing.

What is the real difference between stamped concrete and pavers for a pool deck?

Stamped concrete is a single, solid slab with rebar reinforcement, imprinted with a pattern to look like stone or brick. It has fewer joints, which means no weeds can grow through. In contrast, pavers are individual units set on a sand base. While some find pavers easier to repair, the sand joints often require refilling and can allow weed growth. Stamped concrete typically costs less than high-end pavers and offers a solid, low-maintenance surface.

How do you prevent water from pooling on the new concrete pool deck?

We build a specific slope into every pool deck, usually a quarter-inch drop for every foot of concrete. This grade directs all water away from the pool and your home’s foundation toward a designated runoff area, like a drain or lawn. We also use a flexible sealant at the joint where the deck meets the pool coping to block water from seeping underneath, which prevents erosion and cracking.

Is it possible to install concrete pool decks in the winter in the Bay Area?

Yes, we install pool decks year-round. The Bay Area’s mild winters allow for it, but we have to be mindful of rain and temperature. Concrete needs to cure at temperatures above 40°F. If rain is in the forecast and a pour is scheduled, we will reschedule to the next clear day to protect the concrete’s finish and strength. Planning a winter project can sometimes offer more scheduling flexibility.

When does it make more sense to replace my pool deck instead of just resurfacing it?

Pool deck resurfacing is a viable option for cosmetic issues like stains or minor hairline cracks on a structurally sound deck. However, if your deck has large, uneven cracks, is sinking, or has major drainage problems, replacement is the better investment. A new pour addresses the foundational issues, whereas resurfacing would only be a temporary cosmetic fix that will likely fail within a couple of years.

Are permits required for pool deck remodeling in Contra Costa or Alameda County?

In most cases, yes. If you are simply resurfacing, a permit may not be needed. But for a full replacement or any expansion of the deck’s footprint, a permit is typically required by cities in both Contra Costa and Alameda counties. This process involves plan checks and inspections. We manage the entire permit application and inspection process for you as part of our service, which guarantees that the work is well-documented and compliant with regulations.
