What Your Pool Area Becomes

Your pool deck stops being a safety hazard. No more burnt feet on scorching concrete or slippery surfaces that make you nervous every time someone walks near the water.

The coating creates a slip-resistant surface that actually stays cooler than bare concrete, even during Arizona’s brutal summer months. You’ll notice the difference immediately when you step outside barefoot.

Water beads up and rolls off instead of soaking in and causing damage. Pool chemicals, dirt, and organic stains wipe away easily instead of permanently marking your deck. Your pool area becomes the relaxing space it was meant to be, not a maintenance headache you avoid.

How We Transform Your Deck

We start with thorough surface preparation because shortcuts here mean coating failure later. This includes cleaning, repairing cracks, and creating the proper surface profile for maximum adhesion.

Next comes the base coat application using professional-grade epoxy designed for exterior concrete. We apply it in optimal weather conditions and allow proper cure time between coats.

The final topcoat includes slip-resistant additives and UV protection specifically formulated for Arizona sun exposure. Most projects complete in 2-3 days with minimal disruption to your pool schedule. You’ll have a fully cured, ready-to-use surface within a week.

What's Included in Your Project

Every pool deck coating project includes complete surface preparation, crack repair, and professional-grade material application. We don’t cut corners on prep work because we know Arizona weather will find any weakness.

You get slip-resistant texture that meets safety standards without being uncomfortable to walk on. The coating system includes UV protection that prevents fading and chalking under intense Arizona sun.

We handle all the details including protecting your pool, landscaping, and outdoor furniture during application. The finished surface comes with warranty coverage on both materials and workmanship because we stand behind our installations.

Professional-grade pool deck coatings typically last 10-15 years in Arizona when properly applied and maintained. The key is using UV-resistant materials designed for extreme heat exposure. Cheaper coatings or DIY products often fail within 2-3 years because they can’t handle the temperature extremes and UV intensity we get here. Our coating systems include specialized UV blockers and heat-resistant formulations that maintain their integrity and appearance even during 120-degree summer days. Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals helps maximize lifespan.
Yes, quality pool deck coatings stay significantly cooler than bare concrete. The coating reflects more heat than raw concrete and doesn’t absorb and retain thermal energy the same way. You’ll notice the difference immediately, especially during peak summer months. While no surface stays completely cool in 115-degree weather, coated decks typically run 15-20 degrees cooler than uncoated concrete. Light colors reflect more heat than dark colors, so we can recommend specific color options if heat reduction is your primary concern.
Properly applied pool deck coatings are actually less slippery than smooth concrete when wet. We add slip-resistant additives to the topcoat that create texture without making the surface uncomfortable to walk on barefoot. The coating also sheds water better than concrete, so puddles don’t form as readily. However, any surface can be slippery when wet, so reasonable caution is still important. The texture we add meets safety standards for pool areas while maintaining a comfortable walking surface for bare feet.
Small cracks can be repaired as part of the coating process, but larger structural issues need addressing first. We evaluate each deck individually and repair minor cracks with appropriate fillers before coating application. However, if your deck has major settling cracks or structural problems, coating alone won’t solve the underlying issue. Active movement or foundation problems will eventually cause any coating to fail. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether your deck is a good candidate for coating or needs more extensive repair work first.
You can walk on the coated surface within 24-48 hours, but full cure takes about a week. Light foot traffic is fine after the initial cure, but we recommend avoiding heavy furniture or equipment for the first week. The coating continues to harden and reach full strength during this time. Weather conditions affect cure time – cooler temperatures and high humidity slow the process while heat and low humidity speed it up. We’ll give you specific timing based on the weather forecast and coating system used for your project.
Pool deck coating maintenance is minimal compared to bare concrete. Regular sweeping and occasional pressure washing keep the surface looking good. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the coating. Most stains wipe away easily since the coating prevents absorption into the concrete. Pool chemicals won’t damage quality coatings, but rinse off any spills promptly. Inspect annually for any small chips or wear spots that might need touch-up. With proper care, you’ll spend far less time maintaining a coated deck than dealing with concrete staining and deterioration.
