How to Give Your Pool Deck a Fresh New Look in a Few Easy Steps

If you're looking to refresh your pool deck,  there's a simple yet effective process to achieve a long-lasting and beautiful finish. The key to a successful paint job begins with preparation. Start by pressure washing the deck to remove any dirt, debris, or peeling paint. This step ensures the surface is clean, allowing the new paint to adhere properly. It’s best to wash the deck the day before painting, giving it enough time to dry and avoid issues with paint adhesion later.

Choosing the right product is equally important. I recommend TUF-TOP, a water-based, low-odor acrylic coating that’s perfect for pool decks. Its Nano Technology ensures excellent adhesion to various surfaces, while its fast-curing mechanism offers initial water resistance and continues to harden over 7-10 days. This makes the deck resilient to foot traffic, water, and harsh elements, ensuring it stays looking great for years.

When applying the paint, be sure to roll and cut in simultaneously to avoid flashing, which can happen if the paint dries unevenly. For extra safety, especially on walkways, consider adding Shark Grip for enhanced traction. By following these steps, you'll achieve a professional-grade finish.

Get Organized on the Job with the Purdy Painter’s Backpack

If you're a painter still hauling your tools in a basic bag, it’s time to upgrade. I used to think a backpack was overkill—until I found myself running up and down stairs just to grab a single tool.
