Pool Deck Coatings & Resurfacing in Antioch CA - a deck with grip where you walk wet
Faded, cracked or slick around the pool? We check whether the concrete underneath is sound, then give it a new surface with real grip.
What does it take to redo a worn pool deck?
Pool deck coatings and resurfacing in Antioch, CA puts a new colored, textured surface over the concrete you already have, so your deck looks like fresh concrete without the mess and expense of tearing it out. At Sterling Antioch Concrete Coatings, it's how we give an older deck a clean face and better footing around the water.
Most calls start with a deck that's faded, rough on bare feet or slick where people climb out, and what you're really asking is whether the slab under it is still good. The price turns on how big the deck is, the design you want and how much repair the concrete needs first, while the schedule turns on those repairs, the weather and finding a day when nobody needs the deck while the coating cures. I'll put your own figure in a written estimate after I've seen the slab and asked how you use the pool. We're based in Antioch and work in the cities around it, including Brentwood and Oakley.
How our pool deck coatings and resurfacing work goes
The first thing I look at is whether the deck under the old surface is sound enough to resurface, because a new coating can't fix concrete that's breaking up or a base that's moving, and I'll tell you straight if yours isn't. If it is, our crew cleans the deck down to bare, sound concrete so the new surface bonds to the slab and not to dirt, oil or loose old paint. We fix cracks and bad spots next, since they'd show through a thin new layer. Then we put down the surface we picked together for how you use the pool, with more grip where people walk wet, and we clean up the yard before we go.
Some decks need more than a cleaning first. If an old coating is peeling in sheets, we take it off through our concrete floor stripping and removal work so the new surface goes onto bare concrete. And if you'd like the garage done with the same care, our epoxy floor coatings give that slab a hard, sealed finish that's easy to clean.
Why Antioch homeowners call Sterling Antioch Concrete Coatings for their pool deck
I look at every deck myself
I started this business in Antioch in 2013, and I still come out to look at the slab and write the estimate myself. I also run the job with our crew, so the person who judged your concrete is the one watching the prep.
Licensed, insured and easy to check
We're licensed and insured, and our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. You can look up any California contractor's license on the Contractors State License Board site, and I'd rather you check than take my word for it.
We plan where wash water goes
In Contra Costa County, water that reaches a storm drain flows straight to creeks, bays and the delta without treatment. So before we start washing the deck, ask me where the prep water is going and I'll show you the plan.
On a pool deck, the part that matters is the concrete under the new surface, because that's what decides how long it holds up. Tell us about your deck or call (925) 503-1069, and I'll come take a look.
Get a written estimate for your pool deck
We reply to every call and message within one business day, and the on-site estimate is free with no obligation. I'll come out, look at the slab, ask how you use the pool and give you a written estimate. If you can, send the deck's rough size, a few photos of its condition and any repairs you already know about.

Questions before you resurface a pool deck
How much does it cost to resurface a pool deck in Antioch?
Pool deck resurfacing across the US usually costs about $3 to $12 per square foot, and that's a national market figure, not our price. Size, design and repairs move a deck within that range, which is why I want to see yours before giving you a number.
Can a pool deck be resurfaced instead of replaced?
Yes, as long as the existing concrete is in mostly good condition and the base under it is stable. A sound deck can skip the mess and expense of full removal, so I'd want to look at the slab and how it sits before promising anything.
How long does a resurfaced pool deck take before you can walk on it?
For one maker's spray deck coating, the minimum cure is eight hours, and the maker says foot traffic is best kept off until the next day. That maker also applies its coating only when surface and air temperatures stay between 50°F and 100°F with no frost expected within 24 hours, so plan for at least a day without the deck and expect weather to move the start date.
What is the best surface for a pool deck that's slippery when wet?
Spray texture and rubber coatings are best for adding traction to a worn deck, so they're a good place to start when grip is the main complaint. Concrete is the most common resurfacing material and the easiest to customize, while epoxy pebble is harder to work with but durable and low maintenance.
What should I check before hiring a pool deck contractor in California?
Check the license first, because California law requires a valid license from the state board for any contracting job of $500 or more, and it has to be in the field of work that will be performed. The board also says a contractor can take a down payment of no more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the total contract price, whichever is less.
Who do I ask about a permit for pool deck resurfacing in Antioch?
The City of Antioch Building Division answers questions about what your specific project needs to submit, at (925) 779-7065. If your job calls for a permit, I'll tell you at the estimate and we'll settle who gets it before work starts, and if I'm not sure, I check with the city first. The state board says the contractor usually obtains the permits and that this should be written into your contract, because otherwise you could be held legally responsible.
