Protecting Your Pool Deck
Proudly Serving Coastal Florida — From Sebastian to Jupiter

If you live near the coast in places like Vero Beach, Jensen Beach, or Jupiter, you know that your pool deck takes a beating from the Florida sun, salt air, rain, and humidity. At Reel Painters LLC, we specialize in professional pool deck coatings that are durable, slip-resistant, and beautiful. But before starting a project, most homeowners have the same important questions—and we’re here to answer them.

What is the best coating for a pool deck in Florida?


Florida weather demands a high-performance coating that resists UV damage, moisture, and mold. Some of the best choices include:

  • Acrylic coatings (popular for cost, color variety, and breathability)
  • Epoxy coatings (great for durability but not ideal for high heat)
  • Polyurethane and polyaspartic coatings (fast-curing and extremely tough)
  • Cool deck finishes (designed to reflect heat and reduce surface temperature)


We’ll help you choose the right system based on your deck material, condition, and style goals.



How long does a pool deck coating last in Florida?

A properly prepped and applied coating can last 5–10 years depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and maintenance. Re-sealing every few years helps prolong the life and look of your pool deck.


Does the surface get hot in the sun?


Yes—but only if you don’t use a cool deck or heat-reflective coating. Many Florida homeowners choose light-colored, reflective coatings that reduce heat absorption, making it more comfortable for bare feet.


Will it be slippery when wet?


No—when installed correctly. We always add non-slip grit additives or textured finishes to prevent slipping, especially around wet areas like pools. Safety is a top priority in every deck coating job we do.


Can I change the color of my pool deck with a coating?


Absolutely! We offer a wide range of custom colors and finishes—from natural earth tones to coastal pastels. Many homeowners choose light tones that pair well with Florida’s tropical vibe and reflect heat.


What prep is needed before coating a pool deck?


Good prep is everything! We:

  • Clean the surface thoroughly
  • Repair cracks and chips
  • Grind or etch for strong adhesion
  • Perform moisture testing (important in Florida’s humid climate)


Skipping this step is the #1 reason coatings fail—so we don’t cut corners.



How much does it cost to coat a pool deck in Florida?


Pricing usually ranges from $4–$10 per square foot, depending on:

  • Deck condition and size
  • Coating system used
  • Any custom finishes or colors


We always provide a free estimate before beginning any project.



Can I coat my pool deck myself?


While DIY kits exist, they’re not ideal for Florida’s coastal climate. Professional-grade coatings require skillful prep and application. Hiring a pro ensures long-term durability, safety, and a polished look.



How long does the process take?


Most projects take 1–3 days, depending on prep, weather, and coating type. Dry time is usually:

  • Light foot traffic after 24–48 hours
  • Full use after 3–7 days


Florida’s humidity can extend cure times slightly, but we always plan accordingly.


Do I need to maintain or reseal the coated deck?


Yes, to protect your investment:

  • Rinse regularly to remove salt, mildew, and debris
  • Reapply sealer every 2–3 years
  • Spot-repair cracks or chips when needed


With basic care, your deck will look great for years.
