Pool Deck Coating & Resurfacing
Protect Your Deck from the Florida Sun & Salt Air
Keep Your Pool Deck Looking Great with Expert Coatings and Sealing
Living on the coast in Vero Beach, Jupiter, or Fort Pierce, you know that your outdoor surfaces take a beating. Between the intense UV rays, heavy humidity, and corrosive salt air, untreated concrete can crack, fade, and degrade quickly.
At Reel Painters LLC, we specialize in professional pool deck coating and restoration. We don't just paint your deck; we protect it. We proudly serve homeowners from Sebastian to Hobe Sound, ensuring your outdoor oasis remains beautiful, safe, and durable for years to come.
Why Invest in Professional Pool Deck Coatings?
Your pool area is the centerpiece of your Florida lifestyle. Don't let a worn-out deck ruin the experience. As part of our comprehensive exterior home painting and restoration services, we offer high-performance coatings designed specifically for our coastal climate.
1. Superior Salt Air Protection
The coastal environment is harsh. Standard concrete absorbs moisture and salt, leading to spalling and cracks. Our industrial-grade coatings create a waterproof barrier that provides essential salt air protection, preventing corrosion and extending the lifespan of your concrete.
2. Slip-Resistant Safety
Wet pool decks are a major slip hazard. We prioritize your family's safety by integrating specialized textured additives into our coatings. This delivers slip-resistant safety without being rough on bare feet—giving you peace of mind when the kids are running around the pool.
3. "Cool Deck" Comfort
Does your current deck burn your feet in the summer? We offer "Cool Deck" technology and heat-reflective finishes. By choosing the right light-colored, UV-stable concrete coating, we can significantly reduce the surface temperature, making your deck comfortable to walk on even in the midday sun.
Will it be slippery when wet?
No—when installed correctly. We always add non-slip grit additives or textured finishes to prevent slipping, especially around wet areas like pools. Safety is a top priority in every deck coating job we do.
Can I change the color of my pool deck with a coating?
Absolutely! We offer a wide range of custom colors and finishes—from natural earth tones to coastal pastels. Many homeowners choose light tones that pair well with Florida’s tropical vibe and reflect heat.
What prep is needed before coating a pool deck?
Good prep is everything! We:
- Clean the surface thoroughly
- Repair cracks and chips
- Grind or etch for strong adhesion
- Perform moisture testing (important in Florida’s humid climate)
Skipping this step is the #1 reason coatings fail—so we don’t cut corners.
How much does it cost to coat a pool deck in Florida?
Pricing usually ranges from $4–$10 per square foot, depending on:
- Deck condition and size
- Coating system used
- Any custom finishes or colors
We always provide a free estimate before beginning any project.
Can I coat my pool deck myself?
While DIY kits exist, they’re not ideal for Florida’s coastal climate. Professional-grade coatings require skillful prep and application. Hiring a pro ensures long-term durability, safety, and a polished look.
How long does the process take?
Most projects take 1–3 days, depending on prep, weather, and coating type. Dry time is usually:
- Light foot traffic after 24–48 hours
- Full use after 3–7 days
Florida’s humidity can extend cure times slightly, but we always plan accordingly.
Do I need to maintain or reseal the coated deck?
Yes, to protect your investment:
- Rinse regularly to remove salt, mildew, and debris
- Reapply sealer every 2–3 years
- Spot-repair cracks or chips when needed
With basic care, your deck will look great for years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Deck Resurfacing
Is epoxy the right choice for my pool deck? Standard epoxy coating is incredibly durable indoors, but for outdoor pool decks exposed to direct sunlight, we often recommend UV-stable Polyaspartic or Acrylic coatings. These prevent the "yellowing" effect that the sun causes on standard epoxy. We will recommend the best system for your specific shade conditions.
How long will the coating last? With proper preparation, our coatings typically last 5–10 years depending on sun exposure and traffic. We recommend a simple re-seal every 2–3 years to keep it looking brand new.
Can you coat over cracks? Preparation is the most critical part of our process. Before we apply a single drop of coating, we thoroughly clean the surface, repair cracks and chips, and grind the concrete to ensure a permanent bond. Skipping this step is why DIY kits fail—we don't cut corners.
