Resurfacing an existing concrete deck with an overlay or coating in Redlands typically runs $5,000–$15,500; a new deck depends on the material and the square footage:
| Job | Typical Redlands price |
|---|---|
| Deck resurfacing (overlay, spray texture, coating) | $5,000–$15,500 |
| New broom-finish or stamped concrete | $7,800–$19,500 for 600 sq ft |
| Concrete pavers | $16–$33 / sq ft |
| Travertine or natural stone | $20–$42 / sq ft |
| Crack, lift and drainage repair | $700–$3,300 |
| Sealing an existing deck | $350–$1,025 |
| Pergola or shade structure | $4,000–$15,500 |
| Outdoor kitchen | $10,500–$39,000+ |
California pricing is above the national baseline used for these estimates, mainly on labor and permitting. Demolition of the old deck, grading and drainage, the coping tie-in and access for equipment are the line items that move a quote; a deck that slopes toward the pool or holds water needs the drainage fixed before any surface goes on.
Conduit for lighting, a gas stub for a kitchen or fire feature and footings for shade cost little while the deck is open and a lot afterwards.

Terrain drives engineering: hillside lots need soils reports, caissons, or retaining structures, and every shell is built to seismic-conscious standards. Expansive soils show up across the state, so structural engineering isn't the place to save money. Title 24 energy rules mean variable-speed pumps are the standard spec, not an upgrade. Infinity edges on view lots, pebble interiors, baja shelves, and increasingly small, deliberate pools — plunge pools, cocktail pools, and spools that fit tight lots and tighter water budgets. Automation and solar heating adoption lead the nation.

Look at decks the contractor finished several years ago, not just new ones — settling, heaving and joint failure take a few seasons to show. Confirm licensing where California requires it and insurance, and get drainage, base preparation and the coping joint spelled out in the contract. Pool builders need a CSLB C-53 swimming pool contractor license — verify it (and the bond) on the state's site in about a minute. California also requires new and remodeled pools to include two of seven approved drowning-prevention safety features, and many water districts add rules on filling and draining during drought years.
Resurfacing an existing concrete deck in Redlands, CA typically runs $5,000–$15,500. New concrete runs $7,800–$19,500 for 600 sq ft, pavers $16–$33 / sq ft and travertine $20–$42 / sq ft installed. Crack and drainage repairs run $700–$3,300 and sealing $350–$1,025. California pricing is above the national baseline used for these estimates, mainly on labor and permitting; demolition, grading and the coping tie-in move the number most, so compare itemized bids for the same square footage.
Yes, if the slab is structurally sound: no major heaving, wide moving cracks or drainage toward the pool. Spray-texture and stamped overlays bond to the old concrete and add a cooler, slip-resistant surface for a fraction of a new deck. A slab that pumps water toward the pool, has sunk at the coping or is badly cracked should be removed and rebuilt with proper base and drainage.
Light-colored travertine and honed natural stone stay the coolest, followed by light concrete pavers and textured overlays with a light acrylic coating; dark stone, dark pavers and plain broom-finish concrete get the hottest. In sunny climates ask to stand on wet samples on a hot afternoon before choosing.
Resurfacing an existing deck usually takes two to five days including prep and cure; a new poured-concrete deck one to two weeks with forming, pour, cure and sealing; pavers and travertine one to three weeks depending on the base work and cutting around the coping. Add time for kitchens, shade structures and any permit inspections.
The prime outdoor season in Redlands runs May through October along the coast, longer inland — roughly 6 months of comfortable unheated swimming — and pools stay open and running year-round rather than being winterized. The coast swims May through October (heaters stretch it), while the Central Valley and desert run hot enough for six-plus unassisted months. Pools stay open all year, winter is mild, and evaporation — not freeze — is the seasonal enemy, especially inland.

Often for the parts that involve electrical, gas, structures or drainage changes — a kitchen, fire feature, pergola or a deck that changes grading — and always if the barrier or fence is affected. Concrete resurfacing rarely needs one. Pool builders need a CSLB C-53 swimming pool contractor license — verify it (and the bond) on the state's site in about a minute. California also requires new and remodeled pools to include two of seven approved drowning-prevention safety features, and many water districts add rules on filling and draining during drought years.
Control joints spaced correctly, a compacted base, proper slope and a maintained expansion joint at the coping do most of the work. Seal concrete every two to three years, keep sprinklers off the deck, and fix drainage that lets water under the slab — freeze-thaw and washed-out base are what lift and crack decks.
