Another Florida summer is starting.
Get your yard “party ready” with pool deck resurfacing.
Many dream of having the idyllic Florida home, complete with a beautiful pool. Pools are a great way to spend a hot Florida day with friends and family. But what can you do if your pool deck has seen better days?
A pristine pool deck is a key element that ties your entire backyard together, inviting you and your guests to kick back and relax. If your pool deck is cracked, faded, slippery, or just in need of an upgrade, pool deck resurfacing can bring it back to life.
Let’s explore what deck resurfacing is, your resurfacing options, and why concrete pool deck resurfacing is a popular option for Florida homeowners.
What Causes Damage To Your Pool Deck?
We all want our homes—inside and out—to stay looking fresh and new forever. But sooner or later, everything breaks down.
One of the major contributions to pool deck damage is your pool itself. Pool water (yes, even salt water!) is very damaging on concrete. The chlorine and other chemicals that keep your pool safe and clean can lead to leaks and corrosion of the pool deck surface.
Weather also plays a major part in pool deck damage. Florida’s harsh sun is a big reason why you enjoy having a pool in the first place, but those UV rays also can damage pool decks over time.
Rain will also cause damage to a pool deck, especially concrete pool decks. Water causes the deck to expand and contract, leading to cracks and uneven settling. (Unfortunately, water is inevitable when we’re talking about an area near a pool.)
There’s also the normal wear and tear from walking on the surface constantly, tracking in dirt, scuffing up the paint. Or maybe your deck isn’t damaged at all, and you simply want to add a fresh new look.
Regardless of your motivation, a pool deck resurfacing can revitalize your entire backyard.
What Are Your Pool Deck Resurfacing Options?
Your pool deck resurfacing options largely depend on what type of deck you have.
While pool decks can be made of pavers, bricks, tile, travertine, and/or wood, most decks in Florida are some type of concrete, which is the perfect material for pool deck resurfacing!
There are many different ways to customize the look of concrete and provide a slip-resistant surface to make them safe to walk on when wet.
Acrylic deck resurfacing is a special type of coating designed for concrete pool decks. Not only does it look great, it helps prevent further damage. It’s mold- and mildew-resistant, chemical-resistant, and reflects harmful UV rays to prolong the life of the pool deck.
Acrylic deck resurfacing is available in any color, and also allows for the addition of SharkGrip, an anti-slip surface that keeps you and your family safe while enjoying those hot summer days.
What Can Pool Deck Resurfacing Do For You?
There are several instances where you would consider a pool deck resurfacing.
Getting your pool deck resurfaced at the first sign of damage is a great way to not only fix the damage, but prevent more damage from occurring. Make sure to get your pool deck resurfaced at the first sign of cracks or flaking.
Exposure to the elements also can wear down your pool deck. Whether it’s the Florida sun bleaching the color, or the pool chemicals causing discoloration and stains, having your pool deck resurfaced is a great way to restore it and have everything looking brand new.
Of course, you don’t need to wait for your pool deck to show signs of damage before getting it resurfaced.
If you want to change up the color or style of your deck as part of a renovation, you can do that too (we can also transform the look of your garage with epoxy coating). Or if you find the pool deck is too slippery and you don’t feel it is safe enough, adding a SharkGrip anti-slip coating can give you that much-needed security.
With a properly protected pool deck, cleaning and maintenance is much easier. Not only will the new surface protect against damage, but it will also be mold- and mildew-resistant, have better protection from the harsh Florida weather, and stains can be hosed right off before they have a chance to set in.
How Much Does It Cost?
Every pool deck resurfacing job is different.
The size of the pool deck, the types of repairs needed, and the material of the deck itself will all factor into how much your resurfacing will cost.
