How can you tell your pool deck needs work?
Most pool decks give warning signs well before they need tearing out. Catching them early usually means a smaller job, and sometimes just a cleaning and a fresh seal.
Flaking on the surface
Thin pieces lifting off the top are usually scaling from freezing and thawing. Light flaking can be repaired, but left alone it can spread and get harder to fix.
Hairline cracks across the deck
Small surface cracks are often minor flaws a resurfacing layer can cover. Left open, they let water in, and water that freezes in a crack tends to widen it.
Stains that won't scrub out
A grimy, stained deck that is otherwise solid may only need a power wash and a reseal. Waiting usually just means more buildup to clean off later.
Old paint or coating peeling
Peeling paint or coating shows the old layer has let go of the concrete. It has to come off before anything new goes on, or the new layer won't hold.
Slabs that sink or rock
A section that tips or settles usually means the base under it has moved. That points toward replacing the concrete rather than putting a new surface over it.
Water soaking straight in
When water darkens the concrete right away instead of beading up, the old sealer has worn off. Bare concrete takes in water that then freezes through the winter.
How we handle pool deck coatings and resurfacing
At Kokomo Anchor Epoxy Flooring, pool deck coatings and resurfacing in Kokomo and the cities around it start with one question, which is whether your deck needs a new surface at all, because a deck that is sound under the grime may only need a cleaning and reseal. When it does need resurfacing, we take out weak, unsound concrete, clean off dirt, oil and old paint, and then spread a textured polymer cement finish over the existing slab, which covers minor flaws and toughens the deck without replacing it. One coating maker treats splatter, knockdown and slate trowel textures as the standard look for home pool decks, and I'll go over those choices with you. The price mostly follows the size of the deck, then how much weak concrete has to come out and which finish you pick, while the schedule turns on the weather, since the product needs suitable dry days. Your estimate lays out the prep as well as the finish, so you can see what the money goes toward.
Some decks need other work first. If paint or a failing coating has to come off before a new layer can bond, we take care of it with our concrete floor stripping and removal service. Many pool owners also have a garage or basement slab that has seen better days, and we put down epoxy floor coatings indoors with the same testing and prep we use outside.

Pool deck questions we hear
These are the questions Kokomo homeowners ask most about tired pool decks. If yours isn't here, call or send a photo and I'll tell you what I see.
Can my pool deck just be cleaned and resealed instead of resurfaced?
Yes, a deck that is dirty but otherwise in good shape can usually be power washed and resealed instead of resurfaced. Resurfacing is for concrete with flaws or wear that cleaning won't fix, so if dirt is your main complaint, ask about a reseal first.
How do I know if my pool deck is too damaged to resurface?
A deck is usually too far gone when the base underneath has shifted or the flaking is heavy and spreading. Resurfacing makes sense when the concrete is mostly sound and the base is stable, because a new layer is only as strong as the concrete it bonds to. Light to moderate flaking can be repaired, and when I test your slab I'll tell you which side of that line it falls on.
How much does pool deck resurfacing cost in Kokomo?
Pool deck resurfacing across the US usually costs about $3 to $12 per square foot. Since the price runs by the square foot, the size of your deck drives the total, and your estimate gives you the figure for your own deck.
When is the best time to seal a pool deck in Indiana?
Late summer, after a few dry days, is the best time to seal a pool deck, because a breathable sealer or water repellent should go on reasonably dry concrete. In Indianapolis, the first autumn day at 32 degrees or colder comes around October 21 on average, so a late summer seal goes on before the freezing season starts.
What causes a concrete pool deck to flake?
Flaking on a pool deck is usually scaling, which comes from the concrete freezing and thawing. Indianapolis weather records put the average last spring day at 32 degrees or colder around April 16, so decks here go through that cycle for months each year. Minor scaling is mostly cosmetic and may not need repair at all, but heavy or spreading scaling is worth having looked at.
Does Indiana's semi-public pool rule apply to my apartment or condo pool?
Yes, the state's semi-public pool rule covers pools at hotels, apartments, condominiums, camps and membership clubs. It leaves out a pool at a one or two family home kept for the household and its guests. If you manage a shared pool, tell us when you call so we know what kind of property we're planning the deck work for.
Where we resurface pool decks
Kokomo's permit application doesn't list pool deck resurfacing, so we check with the city's building commissioner before we start. Choose Carmel, Westfield or another city below, or call us.
