What does resurfacing a pool deck in Glendale involve?
Pool deck coatings and resurfacing in Glendale, CA means taking out the loose concrete, cleaning and repairing the slab, and then putting a new coating over a deck that's sound again. It often takes longer than people expect, because the repairs have to cure before the coating goes on.
If your deck is cracked, flaking or rough enough that the kids complain about their feet, the fix usually starts below the surface. The price moves with the deck's size and how much repair it needs before it can be coated. The schedule moves with how long those repairs need to cure and whether anything turns up that needs an outside expert. I'll see all of that on the visit, and the written estimate spells out the prep, the product and each step.
Is pool deck resurfacing right for your home?
Cracks across the deck
Hairline cracks in solid concrete can usually be sealed and coated over instead of tearing out the slab.
Old coating peeling off
Flaking paint or coating comes off first, so the new coat bonds to concrete instead of loose layers.
Crumbling or pitted patches
Loose spots get cut out and patched, and that repair work is the core of a resurfacing job.
Rough on bare feet
A worn, gritty surface around the pool is a good candidate for a fresh coating over sound concrete.
How we handle pool deck coatings and resurfacing
I start by working out what caused the damage, because repair guidance says to find the root cause with a thorough look at the deck before any repair begins, and a coating laid over an unsolved problem just fails again. If that look or the repair work exposes rusted steel that has lost some of its thickness, I'll tell you right away, because a structural engineer needs to see it before we go further. After that we take out the unsound concrete, clean the deck, seal the cracks, let the repairs cure and lay the coating.
Some decks need more taken off before any of that. If an old coating is flaking, we start with concrete floor stripping and removal so the new one isn't sitting on something that's already letting go, and where the top of the slab is worn rough, concrete resurfacing and overlays can rebuild it. We prep just as carefully for the epoxy floor coatings we put down in garages and basements.
Repair and recoat
This suits a deck that's mostly solid with cracks and worn spots. We keep the slab, fix what's there and coat over it.
Strip, repair and recoat
This is for a deck where the old coating is peeling. It all comes off first so the new coating bonds to bare concrete.
Bigger repairs before coating
This is for a deck with crumbling sections or exposed steel. The patches cure fully, and an engineer looks first if the steel calls for it.

Call or send the form
Call (747) 372-8604 any day from 7 AM to 10 PM, or use the form. It helps to have a few photos of the cracked or crumbling spots and the deck's rough size ready.
I come out to look
I check the deck myself for damp spots, cracks, old coatings and whatever caused the damage. I also listen to what you want from the deck.
You get a written estimate
It spells out the prep, the product and each step, so you can see where the price comes from before you decide. Nothing about the plan is left as a guess.
We repair, coat and walk it
My crew and I do the prep and the coating ourselves. Before we pack up, I walk the finished deck with you.
Should the pool deck coating be cut at the joints?
Usually yes, because the slab moves there.
One coating maker says cutting the coating over the concrete's joints is the safest way to guard against cracking from movement. The joints are where the slab is meant to move, and when a coating runs straight over them, that movement usually shows up later as a crack along the same line.
The catch is the look, since cut joints leave visible lines that some owners would rather not see. I lean toward cutting them, because a clean line is easier to live with than a crack, and we talk it through before any coating goes down. Whichever way you go, the work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

Why Glendale homeowners call Ironwood Epoxy Flooring of Glendale for pool decks
Licensed and insured for deck repairs
We're licensed and insured. That matters on a deck job, where opening up old concrete can turn up rusted steel and bring an engineer onto the job.
Learned prep on my dad's jobs
I grew up prepping and coating concrete beside my dad, and I started this business in Glendale in 2023 to keep working the careful way he taught me. His view was that floors fail from underneath, so I'd rather spend the extra time on prep than watch a coating peel a year later.
Wash water kept out of drains
The city asks Glendale residents to make sure the companies they hire follow its pollution prevention practices. We plan where our cleaning water goes before we start, so it stays out of the street drains.
The owner on every visit
I look at your deck and write the estimate myself, then lead the crew that does the prep and the coating, so the person who planned the job is the one on site. Call (747) 372-8604 or send us the form to set up a visit.
Pool deck questions we get
How much does pool deck resurfacing cost in Glendale?
The cost comes down to your deck's size, how much loose concrete has to come out, how many cracks need sealing, whether an old coating has to be stripped first and the finish you choose. Rusted steel that needs an engineer adds to it too. I'll see all of that on site, and you'll get your own figure on the written estimate.
What is the best way to prep a pool deck before a new coating?
Take out the unsound concrete, then clean the surface with high-pressure water or abrasive blasting so the coating bonds to solid material. The cracks get properly sealed next, which makes them less likely to show through the new coating. On your deck, the order depends on what I find caused the damage.
How long does pool deck resurfacing take?
The schedule turns mostly on how much repair your deck needs, because the patches have to cure before the coating goes on. Patches made with bagged products cure as their maker recommends, while ready-mixed or site-mixed concrete stays under wet burlap and plastic sheeting for at least 7 days, unless a spray-applied curing compound is used instead. If rusted steel turns up, plan for extra time while an engineer looks at it.
Can any coating go on a pool deck that stays wet?
Not every one. A national flooring standard limits coated hard flooring to areas that can be kept dry, unless the coating's maker declares otherwise, so around a pool it's worth asking what the maker says about its coating on a surface that stays wet. Our written estimate names the product, so you can check that before we start.
Do pool deck coatings in Glendale have to meet air quality rules?
Coatings used here fall under the local air district's limits. The South Coast AQMD limits volatile organic content, the chemicals that evaporate from a coating, in architectural coatings used in its district. You can ask whether the coating planned for your deck meets the district's current VOC standards, and since the estimate names the product, you can check.
How do I check a pool deck contractor's license in California?
Ask each bidder which license class they hold with California's Contractors State License Board. The board has a concrete related services class whose work includes concrete restoration and coloring concrete, so it's a fair question to put to anyone bidding on your deck.
Want us to look at your deck?
Ask for an estimate and I'll come look at the deck, then hand you a written plan covering the prep, the product and each step.
Other work your deck may need
Pool deck resurfacing in Glendale and nearby cities
In Glendale, dumping waste or running wastewater into the storm drain system breaks state regulation and the city's municipal code, and cleaning a pool deck makes plenty of dirty water. We plan where ours goes before the first pass and keep it out of the drains, in line with the city's pollution prevention practices.
Before work starts, I check with the city or county office that covers your address and tell you what I find, so you know where things stand. Projects submitted to the city's Development Services Division have to meet Glendale's building code, which is the state code with the city's own amendments. We're based in Glendale and work across the cities around it. The older poured decks we see here look a lot like the ones we're called to in Burbank and Pasadena, so the same careful prep applies there.
