Permaco brings durability and slip-resistance to pool decks across Cary’s shaded and high-humidity areas. 

Whether your deck is off High House Road near Koka Booth Amphitheatre, tucked behind mature trees in Lochmere, or part of a patio near Fred G. Bond Metro Park, we deliver engineered finishes built to hold up where others flake or fade.

Our services include resurfacing aging pool decks with tested blends, installing textured, UV-stable coatings over existing concrete, and applying anti-slip finishes. Each project starts with on-site scratch and moisture testing, followed by mechanical grinding, physical sample approval, and a multilayer coating system designed around Cary’s climate.

What Is a Pool Deck Concrete Coating?

A pool deck coating is a multilayered protective finish designed to improve safety, durability, and appearance around swimming pools. Unlike a simple sealant, it combines a moisture-tolerant primer, a durable base coat, decorative texture or flake, and a UV-stable, anti-slip topcoat engineered for wet, barefoot conditions.

Permaco builds coatings that flex with outdoor concrete movement, resist fading under sun exposure, and provide reliable traction, even during Cary’s frequent rain cycles or heavy summer foot traffic.

What Makes Pool Deck Coatings Different Than Other Coatings?

Pool decks are exposed to far more than cars or shoes. They endure standing water, chlorinated runoff, bare feet, extreme UV, and high foot traffic in slick conditions, all of which require a very different coating system than your garage or driveway.

Unlike driveways, which can tolerate minor imperfections, pool decks need to be smooth but not slippery, heat-tolerant but not brittle, and able to flex with outdoor expansion joints and slab movement.

Cary’s humid summers and leafy neighborhoods only increase the stakes. Shaded decks in areas like Lochmere and Weston Estates often suffer from moss buildup, puddling, and rapid topcoat degradation if not properly prepared. Many coatings fail because they aren’t tested for moisture, or they skip the additives required for barefoot, wet environments.

At Permaco, we engineer every pool deck coating with those challenges in mind. Our systems include non-slip surface textures and UV-stable topcoats that won’t flake or fade under constant sun. 

Can You Resurface an Old or Cracked Pool Deck?

Yes, and in many cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Pool decks with minor cracks, scaling, or discoloration can be fully revived using our engineered coating systems, which bond directly to existing slabs.

If your go-to pool is in the Lochmere Swim & Tennis Club, Prestonwood Country Club, Kildaire Farms Racquet & Swim Club, or a private backyard oasis near Bond Park Community Center, our team can restore your deck to look and perform like new. 

We can determine whether crack repair, patching, or grind-level adjustments are needed. Once stabilized, the coating locks everything in with a breathable yet protective finish, saving you thousands compared to full demolition and re-pour.

What’s the Best Way to Prevent Algae and Moss Buildup?

The key to controlling algae is surface preparation and water management.

Permaco grinds and profiles every deck to open the slab, then seals it with a system that resists moisture absorption. Our topcoats also block organic buildup and allow for easier power washing without degrading the finish. On shaded decks, we may also recommend color blends that mask minor growth between cleanings.

Our Process for Pool Deck Coatings

Every project follows a step-by-step protocol designed around real-world conditions, not assumptions:

  1. Slab Testing: We measure porosity, scratch resistance, and vapor transmission.
  2. Grind Profile Selection: We prep your deck with tooling matched to slab condition.
  3. Crack Repair & Patchwork: Before coating, we stabilize issues and address slope if needed.
  4. Full-Size Sample Creation: Built on your deck with your coating system for full transparency.
  5. Multi-Layer Install: Primer, base, texture, and topcoat, all tailored to your pool deck.
  6. Final Walkthrough & Warranty Details: We show our work and explain your long-term care plan.

Ready to Reinvent Your Pool Deck?

Slippery tiles, faded coatings, or moss-covered concrete don’t belong next to a place meant for relaxation. At Permaco, we engineer every pool deck coating to be safe, durable, and built for Cary’s real-world weather, not just sunny weekends.

Regardless of if you’re resurfacing an older slab or upgrading to a slip-resistant, decorative finish, we’ll test your deck, provide a full-size sample, and walk you through the process before anything gets poured.
