Give Your Pool Deck a Fresh Start
Have you noticed peeling paint, rough patches, or fading on your pool deck? Does it feel like no matter how much you clean it, the surface still looks dirty, stained, or old? You might be tempted to slap on a fresh layer of coating and call it a day—but that can do more harm than good.
Before you apply any new coating, the old one must go. That’s where Pool Deck Riverside comes in. Our professional concrete coating removal services safely strip away worn, damaged, or outdated coatings, leaving behind a clean, properly prepared concrete surface that’s ready for resurfacing or refinishing.
Benefits of Professional Concrete Coating Removal
Don’t Cover the Problem. Remove It.
Applying a new coating on top of a damaged one is like putting a bandage on a broken bone—it doesn’t solve the issue. In fact, it can cause new problems like poor adhesion, bubbling, and peeling. Our removal process eliminates old layers completely, allowing for a clean slate and the longest possible life for your new finish.
We use top-of-the-line mechanical grinders, shot blasters, and environmentally safe chemical strippers to remove every trace of your old coating. This ensures a strong bond for any new coating, extending its durability and reducing the chances of premature failure.
Peeling or damaged coatings often leave your deck looking old and uninviting. Once removed, the underlying concrete can be resurfaced, stained, or recoated to look better than new—while feeling cooler and more comfortable underfoot.
Replacing a pool deck can cost a fortune. By removing the coating and resurfacing instead, you can save anywhere from 30% to 50% compared to full demolition and reconstruction.

Our Coating Removal Techniques
Our Coating Removal Techniques
Every pool deck is different—so we choose the removal method that’s right for your specific situation.
- Mechanical Grinding: We use industrial-grade diamond grinders to remove acrylic, epoxy, and other types of coatings. This process not only strips away the surface layer but also profiles the concrete for new coating adhesion.
- Shot Blasting: For larger or more durable surfaces, shot blasting provides a fast, efficient way to remove thick coatings and roughen the surface to the correct texture.
- Chemical Stripping: For sensitive areas or specialty coatings, we use environmentally friendly chemical solutions that safely dissolve and lift away the existing coating without damaging the concrete below.
No matter the method, our removal process is dust-controlled, safe, and compliant with all local and state regulations.
