Pool deck resurfacing costs
- Pressure wash and reseal: washing from about $350; sealing $1–$3 per sq ft.[2]
- Spray texture / cool-deck coating: from about $4 per sq ft plus prep. That’s a starting point near $3,200 for an 800 sq ft deck.[2] A Montgomery County installer lists $5–$10 per sq ft installed.[3]
- Stamped or decorative overlay: from about $8.50 per sq ft plus prep[2], or $8–$15 per sq ft.[3]
- Crack repair and old-coating removal: often $1–$3 more per sq ft.[3]
- Full replacement (pavers or travertine): priced after inspecting the slab and subgrade, so be wary of firm per-foot prices over the phone.[2]
Clay soil, drainage and heat
Local pool companies point to expansive clay soil as the main reason decks crack and shift around here.[2][3] Before choosing an overlay, ask whether your slab is stable enough to coat, or whether some sections should be replaced. Resurfacing is also the time to fix slope so water drains away from the pool and the house, and to redo the flexible joint where the deck meets the coping.[2] Light, textured finishes stay cooler underfoot than dark stamped concrete.[2][3]
Harris County notes for Cypress
Most Cypress addresses are in unincorporated Harris County. The county’s Office of the County Engineer handles residential pool permits, and pools in the floodplain have extra requirements, including an As-Built Certificate and field review.[4] If your remodel changes the pool’s structure, adds a spa or changes grading, ask your builder whether a county permit or floodplain review applies. Check your HOA’s architectural rules, too. See pool builders in Cypress for more on county permits.

Why do pool decks crack around Houston?
