Epoxy is a popular choice for pool decks due to its durability, slip-resistance, and aesthetic appeal. The cost of epoxy pool decks can vary depending on various factors such as size, condition of the existing deck, and design options. We’ve designed a simple and convenient calculator to help you estimate the cost of your epoxy pool deck project, making it especially useful for resurfacing needs.
How Does It Works?
The calculator starts by asking for the deck area which is usually measured in square feet get multiply the length and width dimensions of your pool deck.
Area = L * WSelect the type:
Usually pebble, flake, gravel, and quartz are the most common types of epoxy pool deck coatings. After selecting the type, you can choose whether or not to add a topcoat for added protection and durability.
| Material | Cost per Sq Ft | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pebble Epoxy | 4.00–6.00 | Textured, durable, high-end finish. |
| Flake Epoxy | 3.00 – 5.00 | Decorative, slip-resistant, mid-range. |
| Gravel | 2.50–4.00 | Budget-friendly, simple texture. |
Labor Cost:
The labor cost is usually the highest cost in any pool deck restoration project. This cost varies from 40% to 60% of the total project cost. So, we multiples 0.60 by the price of materials to estimate labor cost.
Labor Cost = Material Cost × 0.4 to 0.6Additional Costs:
The additional cost includes sealing, decorative chips, and anti-slip additives. These costs may vary from project to project depending on the materials used and the size of the pool deck. Sealing is an essential step in pool deck restoration as it helps protect the surface from stains, fading, and other damages. Decorative chips and anti-slip additives are optional but can enhance the aesthetic appeal and safety of your pool deck.
| Feature | Cost Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Primer/Sealer | 0.50–1.50/sq ft | Mandatory for adhesion and longevity. |
| Decorative Chips | 1.00–3.00/sq ft | Custom colors/patterns (for flake). |
| Surface Repairs | 2.00–5.00/sq ft | Cracks, leveling, or damage fixes. |
| Anti-Slip Additives | 0.75–1.50/sq ft | Enhanced safety. |
Calculating Total Cost:
To calculate the total cost of restoring a pool deck, you need to sum up all the expenses incurred in the process, including materials, labor, and any additional costs.
Total Cost = Material Cost + Labor Cost + Additional Costs
