Pool deck resurfacing in Coral Springs means renewing the concrete around the pool, either with a textured acrylic coating at about $3–$7 per square foot or with pavers or travertine laid over the old slab at about $15–$27 per square foot. Most decks we see here are 1980s and 1990s poured concrete with a faded spray texture, hairline cracks and a few lifted edges at the coping. A coating fixes the look and the feel in two or three days; pavers change the deck for good.
Coating or pavers: how to choose
A coating keeps the slab you have. We pressure-clean it, grind and fill the cracks, apply a bond coat and then a knockdown or spray texture, and seal it. It is the right answer when the concrete is level and the problem is wear, stains and heat.
Pavers and travertine sit on top of the existing slab, so the slab only has to be stable, not pretty. They cost three to four times as much, last far longer and never need recoating. They also raise the deck slightly, which affects door thresholds and the coping line, so we measure those before recommending them.
| Option | Estimated price | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic knockdown coating | $3–$7 per sq ft | The slab is level and only the surface is tired |
| Pavers over the slab | $15–$22 per sq ft | You want a new look and a deck that never needs recoating |
| Travertine over the slab | $18–$27 per sq ft | Heat is the main complaint; it stays coolest barefoot |
What goes wrong with decks around here
- Heat. Dark or bare concrete gets painful by late morning from May to September. Light, textured coatings help a lot.
- Cracks at the expansion joint. The joint between the coping and the deck opens and lets water under the slab. It gets a flexible sealant, not a rigid patch.
- Slippery spots. Worn sealer and algae near downspouts turn smooth concrete slick. A textured coating restores grip.
- Black mildew. Shade from screen enclosures and oak trees keeps parts of the deck damp. We treat it before coating so it does not bleed through.
How the deck job runs
- 01Measure and mark. Square footage, crack lengths and any lifted sections, priced line by line.
- 02Clean and repair. Pressure cleaning, mildew treatment, cracks ground out and filled.
- 03Coat or lay. Bond coat and texture, or pavers set and sanded over the slab.
- 04Seal and cure. A clear sealer goes on last. Foot traffic in a day, furniture back in two or three.
Doing the deck with the pool
If the pool is also due, plan both together. The coping and tile get set first, the pool finish follows, and the deck is coated last, so nothing from the pool work lands on new coating. It also means one crew, one schedule and one cleanup. The Coral Springs price guide shows the full combined job, and the finish board helps you match a pool color to the deck.
Deck questions
How much does pool deck resurfacing cost in Coral Springs?
A textured acrylic coating usually runs about $3–$7 per square foot, so a 700 square foot deck lands somewhere near $2,100–$4,900. Pavers or travertine laid over a sound slab run about $15–$27 per square foot. Both are estimates; the measured square footage and the number of cracks set your actual price.
Is a coated deck cooler than bare concrete?
Lighter, textured coatings stay noticeably cooler underfoot than dark or bare concrete in July sun. Travertine is the coolest of the common options. Color matters as much as material, so we bring light samples to the estimate.
Can the deck be done while the pool is being resurfaced?
Yes, and it is the best order: coping and tile first, then the pool finish, then the deck coating, so overspray and foot traffic from the pool work never land on a finished deck.
Do I need HOA approval for a new deck color?
Many Coral Springs and Parkland communities review exterior colors and materials. We give you the product sheet and color name so you can submit it before the job is scheduled.
