If you’re a New Orleans homeowner researching pool deck coating in 2026, here’s what actually matters: the material you choose, how well it’s installed, and who’s doing the installing. Concrete Coatings Inc. has installed pool deck coating throughout New Orleans for 37 years as the only authorized Sundek installer in Louisiana — here’s what to expect before you get a quote.
Why New Orleans Pool Decks Wear Out Faster Than Most
New Orleans’s subtropical humidity, salt-tinged air off Lake Pontchartrain, and a pool season that runs March through October put more stress on concrete pool decks than almost anywhere else in the country. Standard, uncoated concrete cracks, stains, and turns slippery within a few years — which is why so many Uptown, Lakeview, and Gentilly homes are due for a coating or resurfacing before their next pool season.
What Sundek Coating Systems Are Available
• Classic Texture — a textured, slip-resistant overlay and CCI’s primary pool deck system.
• SunSplash — a spray-applied acrylic coating offering a lighter-texture alternative.
• SunCoat — a resurfacing system for decks with an existing worn or faded coating.
How Much Does Pool Deck Coating Cost in New Orleans?
Most residential pool deck coating projects in the New Orleans area run $4,000–$6,000, depending on square footage, existing surface condition, and which Sundek system is used. Commercial projects typically start at $10,000. Concrete Coatings Inc. provides a free, no-obligation quote after an on-site evaluation.
How Long Does It Last?
Sundek coatings installed by an authorized dealer are built to withstand Louisiana’s heat, humidity, and UV exposure for years of regular use. CCI backs every residential installation with a 2-year warranty and every commercial installation with a 1-year warranty — and routine resealing extends the life of any system further.
What to Ask Before You Hire a Pool Deck Contractor
• Are you an authorized Sundek installer, or an independent contractor using unlicensed materials?
• What warranty do you offer on residential vs. commercial work?
• Can you show proof of insurance (CCI carries coverage through LWCC and Foster & Crum)?
• What’s the realistic project timeline for my square footage?
Why the Installer Matters as Much as the Material
Sundek certifies a limited number of contractors to install its products to manufacturer standard. Concrete Coatings Inc. is the only authorized Sundek installer in Louisiana, South Mississippi, and South Alabama, meaning New Orleans homeowners get manufacturer-backed materials and installation — not an imitation product applied by an uncertified crew.
