Pool Deck Staining & Resurfacing in Metro Atlanta
The Deck You Already Own, Made New
A pool deck takes more abuse than any other concrete on your property. Sun, standing water, chlorine or salt, sunscreen, and twenty summers of foot traffic. Eventually it goes gray, chalky and cracked, and most people assume the only answer is to tear it out.
It usually is not. If the slab underneath is structurally sound, we resurface the deck instead. A textured cement overlay goes over the existing concrete, then gets stained the color you choose and sealed against the elements. No demolition, no hauling, no waiting on a fresh slab to cure through the swim season. Color, texture and a hand-cut flagstone pattern are all on the table, and prep and sealing are part of the same job.

As one happy client put it: "I love my pool deck!! I never imagined dirty, cracked concrete after transformation could look so amazing."

Stained Overlay vs. Epoxy on a Pool Deck
A lot of the companies you'll find for pool deck resurfacing in Atlanta sell epoxy. We don't, and here is the honest difference so you can decide for yourself.
Epoxy is a thick, glossy coating. It was made mostly for garages and interior floors. Over time it fades and can change color, it scratches easily, and it can bubble. Once it bubbles, there's really no way to patch it.
A stained overlay is what we do. James lays a textured cement overlay over your existing deck, colors it with an acrylic stain in the exact shade you approve, and seals it. It is made for outdoor concrete, and the upkeep is simple: reseal about every two to three years.
Is it cheaper than epoxy? On a deck that is in sound shape, it usually is, and there's no tear-out either way. Your deck's size and condition set the real number, so call 770-590-8955 and Laura can usually give you a price over the phone.
Have Cool Deck or Sundek?
A lot of older pools around Atlanta have Cool Deck or Sundek, the bumpy coating that's supposed to stay cool under bare feet. We don't install it. After 20+ years of standing on these decks, we hear the same two complaints: it's coming up in spots, and it never really felt cooler. Getting it off is almost impossible, so we resurface right over it, then stain it the color you pick.
What Pool Deck Resurfacing Costs in Metro Atlanta
Every deck and every design is different, so we quote each project individually rather than by blanket rate. Call us and we can usually give you a number over the phone. What we can tell you up front: resurfacing an existing pool deck costs a fraction of tearing it out and replacing it, and it does not put your pool out of commission for a season.
What moves the price:
- Slab condition: cracks, spalling, or previous paint and failed coatings all add prep time.
- Total area: the deck itself plus any spa surround, steps, or connecting walkway.
- Texture and color: a single-tone seal is quicker than a hand-scored, multi-tone finish.
- Access: a fenced backyard deck with a narrow gate takes longer to stage than an open one.

Pool Deck Resurfacing Across Metro Atlanta
We resurface and stain pool decks throughout Cobb, Cherokee and Paulding counties and across the north metro. Most of our pool work sits in Kennesaw, Marietta, Acworth, Woodstock, Canton and Smyrna, and we also serve Atlanta, Powder Springs, Dallas and Hiram.
Backyard pools in this part of Georgia have a lot in common: a slab poured somewhere between the 1990s and the mid-2000s, a decade or two of sun on it, and a homeowner who has been quoted a tear-out price they do not want to pay. That is the job we do best.
Pool Deck FAQs
How much does it cost to resurface a pool deck in Atlanta?
Every deck is different, so we quote each one individually. Call us and we can usually give you a number over the phone. What moves the price most is the condition of the existing concrete, how much prep it needs, the total square footage around the pool and any spa or walkway, and how detailed the finish is. What we can tell you up front is that resurfacing costs a fraction of tearing out a pool deck and replacing it, and the estimate is free.
Is staining a pool deck cheaper than epoxy?
On an existing deck that is in sound shape, a stained overlay is usually the less expensive way to get a finished, custom look, and it is built for full sun. Epoxy is a thick coating made mostly for garages and interior floors. Price always comes down to your deck's condition and size, so call us and we can usually give you a number over the phone.
Should I put epoxy on my pool deck?
We don't install epoxy, and here's why. Over time it fades and can change color, it scratches easily, and it can bubble. Once it bubbles, there's really no way to patch it. Our system is a textured cement overlay, an acrylic stain in the color you approve, and a sealer that gets refreshed every two to three years.
Can you resurface over Cool Deck or Sundek?
Yes. We don't install Cool Deck or Sundek, and removing an old layer is almost impossible, so we don't try. We resurface right over it, then stain it the color you pick and seal it. We've been doing it that way for years.
Can you resurface a pool deck that is cracked or has been painted before?
Yes, and that is most of the decks we are called out to see. We grind off old paint and failed coatings down to sound concrete, then apply the overlay, stain and seal. Prep is genuinely most of the job. If a deck is too far gone to save we will tell you that up front rather than take the work. Cracks tend to come back, so instead of trying to fill them we usually suggest a stone pattern that works the cracks into the design.
How long does a pool deck project take?
Most residential pool decks are a several-day job depending on size, how much prep the slab needs, and cure time between coats. Weather matters more on a pool deck than on an interior floor, so we build a little margin into the schedule rather than rush a seal coat ahead of rain.
Do you work around salt water and chlorine pools?
Both. The sealer is what stands between your finish and the pool chemistry, so we use products chosen for wet, chemically exposed surfaces rather than a general-purpose sealer. Outdoor decks should be resealed about every two to three years, and that is what keeps the color looking its best.
