## Overview

A pool deck should be as inviting as the pool itself. Concrete Commandos installs stamped concrete pool decks that stay cool under bare feet — even in August — thanks to heat-reflective sealers and Kool Deck overlay systems designed for North Texas summers.

We offer a range of textures from light broom-finish to decorative stamping, all with slip-resistant surfaces that stay safe when wet. Integral coloring in light tones reflects heat, and our acrylic and Kool Deck finishes can lower surface temperatures by up to 50 degrees compared to standard concrete.

Every pool deck is engineered with proper slope for water runoff, expansion joints to accommodate pool deck movement, and a sealer that resists chlorine, salt, and UV.

## Features

- Heat-reflective acrylic sealer
- Kool Deck overlay option (up to 50° cooler)
- Slip-resistant wet surface texture
- Chlorine & salt-resistant finish
- Drainage-engineered slope
- Seamless pool-to-deck transitions

## Process

1. **Pool Deck Consultation** — Assess pool, existing decking, drainage; discuss finish options and color choices.
2. **Surface Prep & Forming** — For new decks: excavate and form; for overlays: prep existing surface, repair cracks, prime for bonding.
3. **Pour or Overlay Application** — New concrete poured and stamped, or Kool Deck overlay hand-troweled and textured.
4. **Seal & Cure** — Heat-reflective, slip-resistant sealer applied; deck ready within 48 hours.

## Materials

- **4000-PSI Concrete Mix** — High-strength blend formulated for pool chemicals, UV, and thermal cycling.
- **#3 Rebar Reinforcement Grid** — Grade 60 rebar at 24" O.C. for monolithic deck integrity.
- **Heat-Reflective Acrylic Sealer** — IR-reflective pigments reduce surface temperature by up to 20 degrees.
- **Kool Deck Overlay System** — Cementitious overlay reducing surface temperature by up to 50 degrees; porous, slip-resistant.
- **Slip-Resistant Non-Skid Additive** — Polymer or silica additive in sealer for wet-surface traction.
- **Integral Light-Tone Color** — Iron-oxide pigments in sand, tan, ivory, and light gray to reflect solar heat.

## Timeline

| Phase | Duration |
|---|---|
| Pool Deck Consultation | 1–2 Days |
| Surface Prep & Forming | 1 Day |
| Pour or Overlay Application | 1 Day |
| Cure & Seal | 2–7 Days |
| Final Walk-Through | Same Day |

## Cost Factors

- **New Deck vs. Overlay** — New stamped decks $12–$18/sq ft; Kool Deck overlays $8–$14/sq ft over sound concrete.
- **Deck Size** — Larger decks benefit from economies of scale; small decks under 300 sq ft may carry minimum charge.
- **Finish Type** — Kool Deck overlays are lower; stamped with intricate patterns and borders cost more.
- **Heat-Reflective Additives** — Standard sealer included; Kool Deck system or premium IR coating adds $2–$4/sq ft.
- **Existing Deck Condition** — Extensive crack repair or leveling adds $1–$3/sq ft before overlay.
- **Drainage & Slope Work** — Additional grading, drains, or re-sloping adds $1–$2/sq ft.

## FAQ

**How much does a stamped pool deck cost?** $12–$18/sq ft for new stamped decks; $8–$14/sq ft for Kool Deck overlays.

**Will the deck be too hot to walk on barefoot?** No. Heat-reflective sealers and Kool Deck can reduce surface temperature by up to 50 degrees versus standard concrete.

**Is stamped concrete slippery around a pool?** We finish with slip-resistant texture and add non-slip additive to the sealer. Proper drainage slope keeps the deck safe when wet.

**Can you resurface my existing pool deck?** Yes. If structurally sound, we can apply a Kool Deck or stamped overlay for a fraction of replacement cost.
