Is it slippery when wet?
Not with the anti-slip additive, which goes in the topcoat on every pool deck. Gary shows you the texture on a sample.

Patio & Pool Deck Coatings in Jacksonville & St. Augustine
Pool decks and patios need a coating that looks good and doesn't send anyone to the ER. UV-stable, slip-resistant, and cool to the touch in July. Installed by the owner in one to two days, foot traffic in 24 hours.
01
The System
What an Outdoor Coating Has to Do
A garage floor has one job. A pool deck has four: hold up to direct sun without ambering, stay grippy when it's wet, stay cool enough to walk on barefoot in August, and shrug off chlorine, salt, sunscreen, and rain. That's why outdoor work gets a UV-stable polyaspartic system with an anti-slip additive in the topcoat and, where it matters, a cool-surface formulation.
The finish is your call: decorative flake, a stencil pattern, or a solid color. Samples come to the quote so you pick on your own slab in your own light.
02
Why It Matters Here
Florida Sun, Florida Feet
Bare concrete and pavers around a Northeast Florida pool get hot enough by noon that nobody walks on them. Painted decks peel in a season. Ordinary epoxy yellows. A screened lanai takes a little less sun and a lot more mildew. The coating has to be picked for the exposure, and the exposure at the beach is not the exposure under a screen in St. Johns.
Gary preps every deck the same way he preps a garage: moisture test, crack and low-spot repair, grind. Then the system that matches where it sits.

Real Numbers
What a Pool Deck or Patio Costs
Patio and pool deck coatings run about $5 to $10 per square foot installed. A typical deck or lanai of 800 to 1,500 square feet lands between $4,000 and $12,000 depending on the condition of the slab, the finish you pick, and whether it needs the cool-surface option.

Straight Answers
Questions We Get.
The stuff people ask before they book a pool deck.
How much cooler is it than bare concrete?
Noticeably, especially with the cool-surface formulation and a lighter color. Gary can leave a sample in your sun so you feel the difference before you decide.
Does chlorine or salt water hurt it?
No. Polyaspartic has higher chemical resistance than epoxy. Splash, drips, and wet feet are what it's built for.
When can we use the pool again?
Foot traffic in about 24 hours. Furniture back the next day. Full cure in 48 to 72 hours. Gary confirms the timing when he finishes.
Can you do a border or a stencil pattern?
Yes. Flake, stencil, and solid-color finishes are all options. Bring the idea to the quote and Gary tells you what works on your deck.
Will it fade or yellow?
No. UV-stable is the whole reason outdoor work gets polyaspartic instead of epoxy.
