Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing in Amarillo TX - a textured deck that sheds water
Cracked, faded or slick pool deck? We sort out the cracks and drainage first, then lay a textured finish your feet can grip.
Can your pool deck take a new coating, or does it need work first?
Pool deck coatings and resurfacing in Amarillo put a new textured layer over the concrete around your pool. A faded, stained or worn deck looks fresh again and gives your feet something to grip. Whether your deck can take that layer as it is depends on the slab underneath, so that's the first thing we look at.
Most calls start with a deck that's gone chalky, cracked or slick in spots, or an old coating that's peeling. At Keystone Amarillo Epoxy Flooring, I come out to look at it myself, and I'm on the deck with our crew when the work gets done. We do this work in Amarillo, in Canyon and in the cities around them, and we're fully licensed and insured. The price moves with the size of the deck, how many cracks need repair, whether an old coating has to come off and how much drainage work it needs. The start date moves with the weather, because coatings go down on dry, settled days. Your estimate gives you a written price for your deck, so you're not guessing.
What happens after you call about your pool deck?
Call and describe your deck
Calls come straight to me. I'll ask how big the deck is, how the pool gets used and what's bothering you about the surface, and then we set a time for me to come out.
I look over the slab
I walk the deck, check the concrete for moisture and cracks, look at where water runs, and talk through the options that make sense for it. You get a written price for your deck before anything is scheduled, so you know the number up front.
We prep before we coat
Our crew does the cleaning and repairs before any coating goes down, and I'm on the deck with them while the work gets done. If the slab shows us something new once it's clean, I'll tell you before we go any further.
We walk the finished deck
When we're done, I walk the deck with you so you can see the texture and finish up close and ask anything you like. We pack up our gear and clean up the area around your pool before we leave.
How we resurface a pool deck, and the work that goes with it
We look at the cracks and at how water runs off your deck before we talk about texture, because good footing depends on both. Next we clean the concrete of oil, grease and dirt, since anything left on the surface weakens the bond, and we repair the cracks so the new layer has a sound base. Then the textured coat goes on. One maker's acrylic system, for example, is sprayed on and knocked down with a trowel's edge, and the texture has to dry fully before a sprayed finish coat adds the color and a layer of protection. That's why the job runs in stages rather than all at once.
If your deck has an old coating that's peeling or lifting, we take it off first with concrete floor stripping and removal, because a new layer is only as good as what it's stuck to. Epoxy isn't what I'd pick for a sunny, wet pool deck, but epoxy floor coatings make good sense on a garage or shop floor once the deck is done.

Pool deck resurfacing questions from Amarillo
How much does pool deck resurfacing cost in Amarillo?
Installed pool deck resurfacing with an acrylic coating or a brushed concrete overlay usually costs about $2 to $8 per square foot across the US. Where your deck lands in that range depends on crack repair, whether an old coating has to come off, and the texture and color you choose. The written price from our visit spells that out for your deck.
Can a cracked pool deck be resurfaced?
Often yes, once the cracks are dealt with, since one overlay maker calls for structurally sound concrete with no cracks wider than a hairline. Another maker offers a custom scored pattern that works existing cracks into the design of its acrylic overlay. If your slab needs more than that, I'll tell you so before any coating goes on rather than sell you a finish that lets go.
Will a resurfaced pool deck be slippery when wet?
Texture helps, but it's only part of the answer, because a voluntary national flooring standard says a pool deck's fitness depends heavily on drainage, surface texture and what's sitting on the surface. Standing water on a deck that isn't properly sloped gets slippery, so whoever you hire, ask how water will drain off the new surface.
What time of year is best to resurface a pool deck in Amarillo?
Late spring through early fall usually works best here, because one overlay maker applies its product only when no rain is expected within 24 hours and only on surfaces that aren't frozen, frost filled or hot. In Amarillo the average last spring freeze is April 18 and the first fall freeze is October 20. Summer highs average in the low 90s, with some days topping 100, and fall and winter cold fronts can swing temperatures fast. We plan around dry, settled stretches, so your start date can move with the forecast.
How long does pool deck resurfacing take?
It runs in stages rather than in one go, because the deck gets a thorough cleaning first and the sprayed texture has to dry fully before the finish coats go on. Crack repairs and the weather add to that, so I'll give you a realistic picture of the schedule at the estimate once I've seen your slab.
How do I take care of a resurfaced pool deck?
Keep it swept and rinsed, and plan on resealing now and then, because concrete sealants have to be reapplied periodically. Our promise on the work itself is simple: satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
Other work your pool deck might need
Concrete Floor Stripping & Removal
If an old coating is peeling, flaking or lifting off your deck, it has to come off cleanly first so the new layer bonds to bare concrete.
Epoxy Floor Coatings
Once the deck's done, the garage or a floor under your roof might be next, and epoxy suits concrete that stays out of sun and pool water.
