Should I coat my pool deck or replace it?
A concrete pool deck in Winston-Salem is the slab around your pool, either poured new or renewed with a coating over the concrete you already have, and done right it gives you a solid surface with some grip where people walk wet. With an older deck, I first look at whether the concrete is worth coating or should come out, because that one call decides most of the job. The price turns mostly on the deck's size, whether old concrete has to be broken out and hauled away, and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the weather, since we time the pour with the forecast, and on curing, the wait while new concrete hardens and gains strength before it takes your weight. Your estimate spells out what's in it and what isn't, so you know your own figure before anything starts.
How do you know your pool deck needs work?
The top is flaking off
Patches where the surface peels away in thin flakes, called scaling, mean the top layer has weakened. Whether a coating can still work depends on how sound the concrete is underneath.
Cracks you can catch a toe on
Wide cracks or edges that have lifted are a tripping hazard on a wet deck, and they usually mean the slab itself has moved, not just the surface.
Sections that have sunk
A slab that has dropped or tipped next to the pool usually points to the base underneath settling, which a coating on top can't correct.
Slick or worn smooth
If the texture has worn away and your feet slide when the deck is wet, the surface needs renewing or a new finish with more grip.

Pool deck questions we hear
Here are straight answers to what people ask before a pool deck job. If yours isn't here, call (336) 276-2960 and ask.
How much does a concrete pool deck cost in Winston-Salem?
Installing a concrete pool deck usually costs about $10.50 to $12 per square foot across the US, which is a national figure and not our price. Your own number comes from the on-site estimate, which lists what's included, like breaking out and hauling away old concrete, so you can line it up against other quotes.
Can I coat my old pool deck instead of replacing it?
Often you can, if the old concrete is a good candidate for a coating. Concrete that's flaking deep, badly cracked or sunk usually isn't worth coating, so I look at yours first and tell you plainly which way makes sense, even when the cheaper option is the right one.
When is the best time of year to pour or seal a pool deck?
Concrete industry guidance says to plan outdoor pours for a stretch when a freeze is unlikely while the concrete is still soaked, which takes care in late fall, winter and early spring. A sealer goes on once the concrete is reasonably dry, and late summer after a few dry days is ideal. We watch the forecast before we set a pour date.
Who issues building permits for a pool deck in Winston-Salem?
The city's Inspections Division issues building permits across Forsyth County, except in High Point, Kernersville and King. When you're adding a pool, the plans show the decking, and single-family permits go through the city's online plan review. We find out which office covers your address, and when your job needs a permit, we handle the application and line up the inspections.
Does a pool deck contractor in North Carolina need a license?
The North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors says a project valued at $40,000 or more needs a general contractor with a state-issued license. Whatever the size of your deck, it's fair to ask anyone you're comparing to show you their license and insurance before you book.
Why does a concrete pool deck start flaking on top?
Flaking, which the trade calls scaling, is less likely when the concrete is dense with air mixed into it and is placed and cured well, according to concrete industry guidance. Overworking the surface while finishing knocks out some of that air, and going easy on deicers in winter helps too. Ask us what mix we'll order and how we'll cure it.
Will my new pool deck crack like the old one did?
Concrete can crack, but we work to keep cracks where we choose. We cut control joints, straight grooves that give the slab a neat place to crack, on time, and we dig out and pack the base the way we would for a slab foundation, because a slab is only as steady as the ground under it.
Other work that goes with a deck
- Service
Concrete steps construction
When steps run from your back door down to the pool deck, pouring them in the same job keeps the levels and the finish matching.

Slab foundation building
If a pool house, shed or equipment pad is going in near the deck, the slab under it needs the same careful base prep.

Stamped concrete services
If you want a pattern or some color around the pool instead of a plain broom finish, stamped concrete gives the deck a different look.
