Many pool decks are made of concrete. When it comes to resurfacing your pool deck, resurfacing concrete costs anywhere from $3 to $28 per square foot, depending on the type of surface.

Decorative overlays, like multiple colors, polishing, and saw cuts, cost about $10 per square foot. Stamped concrete costs $8 to $28 per square foot for embeds, dividers, stencils, or epoxy terrazzo.
