Concrete Pool Deck Contractor Services in Montgomery County, TX | New Decks, Cool-Deck and Resurfacing

A pool deck here has to grip wet feet, stay bearable in August sun and survive clay that moves under it. That's the standard we build to as a Montgomery County concrete pool deck contractor. Pool builders and homeowners hire Montgomery County Concrete Contractors for decks that stay cool and drain away from the water.

We pour new pool decks, apply cool-deck coatings and resurface older decks that are still sound. We can also build the fence, cover and outdoor kitchen around the pool.

Concrete Pool Deck Contractors in Montgomery County, TX: Cool, Grippy and Built on Steel

Every pool deck we pour sits on a compacted base with a rebar grid and 3,000-plus PSI concrete, sloped away from the pool toward drains or the yard. On top, we choose a surface for heat and traction, usually a lighter tone with a slip-resistant texture, because darker, smoother finishes get hot and slick around water.

New Pool-Deck Concrete in Montgomery County, TX

We pour new decks after the shell, plumbing and coping are in, working to your pool builder's schedule. Our crew plans joints around the coping and any raised walls or water features, and sets drains where the yard won't take the runoff. We also leave room for the fence posts your pool barrier needs.

Our decks get wider where people actually gather, usually beside the shallow end and between the pool and the back door, and narrower along the far side. We mark lounge-chair and table spots with you before we form, so slope, drains and joints work around the furniture instead of under it.

Pool Deck Resurfacing

We resurface faded or roughened decks that aren't cracking through or settling, which saves you the cost and mess of a tear-out. Our crew cleans and repairs the surface, tapes off the coping and applies a new textured coat. If the slab underneath has failed, we tell you plainly and price a replacement instead.

Cool-Deck Coatings

Our cool-deck coatings go over concrete as a light, textured finish that stays cooler underfoot than bare concrete and grips well when wet. On a sound older deck it changes the look and the feel without a tear-out, and on a new deck we apply it once the concrete has cured.

Decorative and Stamped Pool Decks

For the look of stone, we stamp the deck in a seamless texture, color it in light tans, buffs or grays, and seal it with a matte, slip-resistant finish. We don't use high-gloss sealers around pools because they get slick. Our stamped concrete page shows the patterns and color methods we use.

Artificial Turf and Poolside Remodels

Many of our poolside projects go beyond the deck. We add artificial turf strips between deck sections, extend the deck to a covered patio or outdoor kitchen, and apply decorative coatings. Our crews also rebuild the walks that connect the pool to the house and the side gate. A turf-and-patio job typically takes us about a week.

Coping, Drains and Joints Around the Pool

Our crews keep a joint between the coping and the deck so the pool shell and the slab can move independently. We place deck drains where the slope can't carry water to the yard. Our control joints line up with corners, steps and raised walls so cracks don't wander across the open deck. The coping edge takes the most abuse from water, chlorine and splash-out, so we detail it by hand.

Where a deck meets the house, we pitch it away from the foundation and keep the slab below the door threshold so a summer storm doesn't push water inside. We also leave sleeves or post locations for the pool fence and any shade structure, so nobody has to core through new concrete later.

Pool Barrier and HOA Rules We Plan Around

We design every deck to pass HOA and city review the first time. In The Woodlands, for example, pools, spas, decking and berms can't encroach on easements, and hard surfaces count toward lot coverage. A drainage plan is required at submittal, and the pool must be enclosed by an approved fence with self-closing, self-latching gates. We plan the deck footprint and fence line together and prepare the paperwork.

Since we build cedar privacy fences and gates as well as concrete, our crews set the barrier fence and the deck on one schedule. You don't wait on a separate fence company.

How We Keep Pool Decks From Cracking and Fading

We fight the two main causes of pool-deck failure here: clay that moves when splash-out and runoff soak the soil, and Texas sun that fades color. Our answer is grading and drains that move water away, steel in every slab, and joints where the deck wants to move. Every decorative deck gets a sealer, and we give you a resealing schedule at the walkthrough.

Pool Deck Projects, Step by Step

  1. Site visit and written quote

    We check whether the old deck is sound and where water goes when it rains, then send a resurface or replacement price with the reasons for our recommendation.

  2. Prep or tear-out

    Our resurfacing starts with cleaning and repairs; a replacement starts with a saw cut and haul-off.

  3. Base, steel and pour

    For new decks we compact the base, tie the rebar and pour with the slope built in.

  4. Coat, seal and walkthrough

    We apply the cool-deck or decorative finish, seal where needed and review it all with you.

Pool Deck Work by Area

The Woodlands

We resurface high-end decks and design within the township's pool and fence standards.

Lake Conroe, Walden and April Sound

Our lakefront decks often step down a slope, so we combine them with retaining walls and drainage.

Magnolia acreage

We pour larger decks with room for a covered patio and an outdoor kitchen beside the pool.

Spring and Conroe suburbs

Cool-deck resurfacing of builder-era decks is our most common request here.

What Comes With Every Pool Deck We Build

  • A free site visit with our owner, who checks drainage and the condition of any old deck
  • A written price for resurfacing or replacement, held for three months
  • Licensed and insured crews, with licensed electricians and plumbers for lighting, gas or water
  • Before-and-after photos of the finished deck for your records and your HOA
  • A one-year workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee

Our discounts for active-duty military, veterans, seniors, first responders, teachers and school staff apply to pool decks. Larger poolside projects run on a deposit and progress draws instead of full payment up front.

Pool Deck Add-Ons We Install

Deck drains

We set slot or channel drains where the slope can't carry splash-out to the yard, keeping water off the slab edges.

Cool-deck coating

Our cool-deck finish stays cooler underfoot than bare concrete and grips well when wet.

Stamped borders

We stamp a band along the coping or around the deck's edge to frame the pool.

Fence post sleeves

We leave sleeves for the pool barrier fence so posts drop in without coring new concrete.

Shade structure footings

Our crews pour footings for a pergola or cover beside the pool while the deck forms are open.

Turf strips

We set artificial turf between deck sections for a softer, cooler path around the water.

When an Older Pool Deck Needs Work

We inspect older decks for these signs before we recommend resurfacing or replacement:

  • A coating that has faded, peeled or gone rough enough to scuff feet
  • Cracks wider than a hairline, especially ones running toward the coping
  • Sections that have dropped or tilted toward the pool
  • A gap opening between the coping and the deck
  • Puddles that sit on the deck long after everyone is out of the water

If the slab underneath is sound, we resurface it, which costs far less than a tear-out. If it has settled or cracked through, our owner shows you why on site and quotes a replacement with new steel, drains and joints planned around the pool.

Keeping Your Pool Deck in Shape

We give every pool-deck customer a care plan at the walkthrough. Rinse chlorine and salt splash-out off the deck regularly, keep leaves from staining the surface, keep the deck drains clear, and point downspouts away from the slab. Decorative and coated decks get a resealing schedule, and we can come back and reseal for you when the time comes. Our one-year workmanship warranty covers every deck we pour or resurface, and we leave you before-and-after photos of the finished job.

Resurfacing vs. Replacing a Pool Deck

We quote whichever option your deck actually needs. This is how the two compare on the jobs we price:

ResurfaceReplace
When we recommend itSlab is level and sound; surface is faded or roughSlab has settled, cracked through or drains toward the pool

Relative costLowerHigher, but it fixes the structure

Pool Deck Costs and How We Quote Them

Our pool-deck pricing depends on square footage, new pour or resurface, the finish and coating, any stamping or color, drainage work, and access to the back yard. Resurfacing a sound deck skips the cost of a tear-out, a new base and new steel. The site visit is free, the quote is written and honored for three months, and any change waits for your written approval.

Pool Deck Questions

How much does a concrete pool deck cost in Montgomery County, TX?

We price pool decks after a free visit, since deck area, finish, cool-deck coating, drains and any tear-out of an old deck all change the total. Fence work and turf strips go on their own lines. Our written price has no hidden fees and holds for three months.

Who is the best company for pool decks in Montgomery County?

We'd look for a contractor who checks the slab before selling a coating. We resurface only sound decks, replace failed ones with reinforced concrete, keep finishes light and slip-resistant, and can build the fence and patio around the pool too. Our customers rate us 5.0 on Google.

Can you resurface my pool deck instead of replacing it?

If the deck isn't cracking through or settling, usually yes. We clean, repair and recoat it. If it has failed structurally, we'll recommend a replacement and explain why.

What is the coolest pool deck surface you install?

Our lighter cool-deck coatings and light-colored textured finishes stay the most comfortable underfoot. Dark colors and smooth finishes get hot fast in our summers.

Are stamped pool decks slippery?

They can be if the sealer is glossy. We use slip-resistant textures and a matte sealer around pools for that reason.

Do you work with pool builders on new pools?

Yes. We pour the deck once the shell, plumbing and coping are in, and we work to the pool builder's schedule.

Can you add a covered patio or outdoor kitchen next to the pool?

Yes. We build wood-frame patio covers with composite roofing, cedar pergolas and outdoor kitchens, so the deck and the shade and cooking areas around it are planned and built together.

Can you build the pool fence as well?

We build cedar privacy fences and gates, so the barrier fence can go in alongside the deck. In The Woodlands, pool barriers need self-closing, self-latching gates, and we plan for that from the start.
