The short answer

Pool Deck Resurfacing in Kenosha

We resurface cracked, faded and slick concrete pool decks in Kenosha, WI with a textured, non-slip finish.

Resurfacing bonds a polymer-modified cementitious "overlay" to the deck you already have, then finishes and seals it, so the surface around the pool comes back without the slab being broken out. It is the fix for a deck that has faded, worn or started "spalling", where the top chips and flakes away.

  • Cracked

    Cracks repaired before the new layer goes on

  • Faded and worn

    A fresh textured top bonded to the old slab

  • Slick when wet

    Grit in the sealer so bare feet hold

What the job includes

What our pool deck work covers

We clean and grind the deck, repair the cracks, put down a textured overlay and seal it.

Nothing goes over a dirty or cracked slab. The prep is most of the work, and it is what lets the new layer stay bonded through a Kenosha winter.

Every pool deck we quote includes these four pieces of work:

  • Cleaning and grinding

    The pool deck is pressure-washed in controlled passes, then ground so the overlay has a surface to grip.

  • Crack repair

    Cracks in the old slab are filled and closed before anything goes over them.

  • Textured overlay

    A polymer-modified cement overlay is bonded to the deck and given a texture a wet foot can hold.

  • Sealed with grit

    The finished deck is sealed, with fine silica or polymer grit mixed into the sealer.

Grip when it is wet

Non-slip finishes

A textured overlay with grit in the sealer is what keeps grip on a wet pool deck.

Gloss is the thing to watch for around a pool, because freshly sealed stamped concrete can be slick when wet.

  • A textured finish on the overlay
  • Fine silica or polymer grit in the sealer

  • Freshly sealed stamped concrete
  • A smooth sealed top with no grit in it

How the work goes

The pool deck process, step by step

We pressure-wash the deck, grind it, fix the cracks, lay the overlay with a textured finish and seal it with a non-slip additive. Here is each step in order.

  1. Pressure-wash

    The deck is washed at the right PSI in controlled passes, so it comes clean without lines etched into the slab.

  2. Grind the surface

    The old top is ground to the profile the overlay's thickness needs, down to clean, sound concrete.

  3. Fix the cracks

    Cracks are filled and closed so the new layer goes down over an even surface.

  4. Overlay and texture

    The overlay is bonded to the deck and finished with a texture that grips under bare feet.

  5. Seal with grit

    A sealer with a non-slip additive goes on last, to keep the grip when the deck is wet.

What it costs

How pool deck resurfacing is priced

Pool deck resurfacing is priced by the deck's area and by the repairs it needs before the overlay goes on.

Most of a resurfacing price is surface preparation, not the overlay material, so two decks the same size can price differently. What moves your figure:

  • Deck area. The square footage around the pool that gets the new surface.
  • Crack repair. How many cracks need filling before the overlay goes on.
  • Surface prep. How much washing and grinding the old top needs to take a bond.
  • Finish. The texture you want and the grit that goes into the sealer.

Evaluating worn concrete and preparing its surface are what the International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) guidelines cover, and they are where we spend the time.

Other questions about pool deck resurfacing

The answers below sit next to pool deck resurfacing, and each one has a fuller answer of its own.

  • Resurfacing or a new deck

    A sound deck can be resurfaced, while a deck with active cracks or settling may need repair or replacement first. Cracks that are still moving "telegraph" up through an overlay within a year or two, so we confirm the slab is sound and the damage is only at the surface before we quote one.

  • Sealing the deck

    You should seal a resurfaced deck to protect it from water and the freeze-thaw of a Kenosha winter. Keep de-icers off it too, since they can cause surface "scaling" over time, and sand is the safer choice.

FAQ

Pool deck resurfacing questions

How much does it cost to resurface a pool deck?

Pool deck resurfacing typically runs $3 to $12 per square foot nationally. Most of that is surface preparation rather than the overlay, so the deck's size and the repairs it needs set the price. We measure your deck and quote the whole job free before we start.

Can I resurface my pool deck myself?

The overlay is the easy part; the prep decides whether it stays bonded. The deck has to be ground or shot-blasted to the profile the overlay's thickness needs, and a pressure washer used at the wrong PSI etches lines into the slab. If you would rather hand it off, our estimate is free.

What is the best material to use for resurfacing a pool deck?

For a concrete deck we use a polymer-modified cementitious overlay bonded to the old slab, given a textured finish and sealed. Non-slip additives such as fine silica or polymer grit in the sealer keep the grip when the deck is wet.

Can a concrete pool deck be resurfaced?

Yes, as long as the slab is structurally sound and the damage is only at the surface. Active cracks will show through an overlay within a year or two, so a deck that is still cracking or settling gets repaired or replaced first.
