Pool Deck Resurfacing
Pool deck resurfacing and full deck rebuilds with travertine pavers, porcelain tile, and concrete resurfacing across Miami, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and all of South Florida. Licensed contractor (CGC1535875). Cooler underfoot. Better drainage. Lasts decades. Free on-site estimate.
Built for South Florida
The pool interior gets the attention, but the deck is where people actually spend their time: walking barefoot, setting up chairs, gathering around the pool for hours in South Florida’s summer heat. A cracked, stained, or worn concrete deck makes the entire pool area look dated and uncomfortable to use.
Pool deck resurfacing restores comfort, safety, and visual appeal without the full cost of a new deck build. Full deck replacement with travertine or porcelain pavers completely transforms the pool area and dramatically outperforms concrete in Miami’s climate.
MIA Remodeling resurfaces and rebuilds pool decks across Miami, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Miami Gardens, North Miami Beach, Boca Raton, and all of South Florida, using materials selected specifically for South Florida’s heat, UV exposure, humidity, and heavy foot traffic.
Every surface performs differently in South Florida. Here is what we install and resurface, with honest guidance for each.
Stays significantly cooler underfoot than concrete in Miami's summer heat, natural drainage through open-face edges, slip-resistant when wet, and holds up 25+ years to UV, moisture, and coastal salt air. About $15 to $25 per sq ft installed.
Large-format porcelain offers the look of natural stone with zero maintenance, nonporous performance, and excellent UV resistance. We specify matte, textured finishes with lower heat absorption for pool deck use. About $18 to $28 per sq ft installed.
Classic appearance with excellent durability and easy individual replacement if one unit cracks. Good traction and natural drainage. Popular in older Miami-Dade homes. About $12 to $20 per sq ft installed.
The most affordable refresh: existing concrete cleaned, repaired, and resurfaced with a Cool Deck or Kool Deck acrylic coating that reflects heat and adds slip resistance. Best when the slab is structurally sound. About $4 to $8 per sq ft.
Strips of turf between travertine or porcelain pavers, adding visual warmth and a resort aesthetic while keeping a practical hard surface. No irrigation, green year-round. About $3 to $6 per sq ft for turf sections.
New stone or paver coping at the pool edge, replacing cracked or dated coping to tie the deck and waterline together as one cohesive design.
Resurface the pool interior and the deck together in one project, saving on pool drainage and mobilization while delivering a fully cohesive result.
Regrading and drainage correction for decks that puddle after rain, eliminating slip hazards and protecting the new surface.
How It Works
From your first consultation to your finished deck, our process is designed to keep you informed and on budget throughout.
We assess the existing deck condition, measure square footage, evaluate subbase condition, and determine whether resurfacing or full replacement is the right recommendation.
We guide you through travertine, porcelain, brick paver, and concrete resurfacing options, with honest South Florida performance guidance for each.
Existing deck removed if replacing (concrete saw cut and haul-away), subbase graded and compacted, and drainage checked before new surface installation begins.
Travertine, porcelain, or brick pavers set on a compacted base with proper slope for drainage, or concrete resurfacing coating applied to the cleaned existing slab.
Coping stones set at the pool edge, border edging installed, joints filled or sanded, and all transitional details completed cleanly.
Complete inspection of slope, drainage, joint consistency, and finish quality, professional site cleanup, and written warranty.
Why MIA
Assessment, demo, subbase prep, installation, coping, and finishing, all by one licensed team, one schedule, one point of contact.
Florida CGC1535875, structural deck and drainage work handled under a licensed contractor, fully insured on every project.
We specify deck materials for UV, heat, salt air, and heavy foot traffic, not just showroom appearance, so your deck performs for decades.
Built on completed pool and outdoor projects across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County, real results for real homeowners.
Materials, prep, and installation broken out clearly before work begins. What we quote is what you pay.
Resurface pool and deck together to save on drainage and mobilization, with a cohesive final design.
If you recognize any of these on your deck, it is time for a free assessment.
Cracks wider than hairline, or concrete breaking off in chunks, indicate deterioration that resurfacing alone may not fix; full replacement may be needed.
Paint, coating, or concrete staining and fading from UV and pool-chemical splash that will not clean off means the surface coating has failed.
If you cannot walk barefoot from noon to 5pm in summer, your deck material is wrong for South Florida. Replacing concrete with travertine solves this permanently.
Areas that retain water after rain or splashing create slip hazards and accelerate surface deterioration.
Existing paver decks where units have settled, lifted, or loosened indicate subbase issues to address before resurfacing.
Concrete pool decks in South Florida typically show significant wear by 15 years. If yours is near or past that, an assessment is worthwhile.
Why Travertine
The most common complaint about South Florida pool decks is that they are too hot to walk on barefoot in July. Concrete, even painted or coated, absorbs Miami’s intense solar radiation and radiates it back at foot level all day.
Travertine’s natural porous cellular structure works differently: air pockets within the stone reduce surface temperature significantly versus dense concrete or smooth porcelain. Independent tests consistently show travertine pool decks running 15 to 30°F cooler than concrete under the same South Florida sun.
Travertine also drains naturally through open-face edges, resists coastal salt air, stays slip-resistant when wet, does not fade under intense UV, and regularly lasts 25 to 30+ years in South Florida when properly installed.

FAQ
Concrete resurfacing or Cool Deck runs $4 to $8 per square foot. New travertine paver installation runs $15 to $25 per square foot. Porcelain pavers run $18 to $28 per square foot. A typical 500 sq ft pool deck costs $7,500 to $12,500 for travertine. We provide a written estimate after a free on-site measurement.
Travertine is our most recommended pool deck material for South Florida, it stays significantly cooler underfoot than concrete, provides natural drainage, resists coastal salt air, and lasts 25 to 30+ years. Porcelain pavers are the best modern alternative. Cool Deck concrete resurfacing is the most affordable option when the existing slab is in good condition.
Yes, if the existing concrete slab is structurally sound with no major cracking or spalling, concrete resurfacing or overlay is a cost-effective option. Travertine and porcelain pavers can also be installed over existing concrete in some cases. We assess slab condition and advise honestly on the best approach.
Concrete resurfacing typically takes 2 to 3 days. Full paver replacement runs 3 to 7 days depending on square footage. If combined with pool resurfacing in one project, total timeline is 5 to 10 days.
Travertine's natural texture provides good slip resistance when wet, significantly better than polished or smooth surfaces. We specify honed or tumbled travertine finishes, not polished, for pool deck applications to maximize wet-surface grip.
Yes, whenever possible. Doing both together reduces total cost by combining pool drainage (required for both), mobilization, and crew scheduling. The result is also more visually cohesive, matching waterline tile, coping, and deck surface as one designed project.
