Patios in Tempe: What We Usually Find
Small Tempe lots mean the patio and pool deck are often one continuous slab, so resurfacing them together just makes sense. Rentals near Town Lake and ASU get a finish that handles tenant turnover and still photographs well.
Patio resurfacing covers your existing slab with a decorative finish: heat-reflective coating (the same family as cool deck, great for uncovered patios), or stamped overlays that read as stone or tile under a covered ramada. Repairs come first, finish second. Free written estimates, quoted from the actual surface.
Most patios end up with one of two finishes: cool deck coating where the sun hits all day, or stamped overlay (flagstone look) where there's shade and looks can lead.
Color matters for heat. In a light shade, the coating can run up to 30°F cooler than a dark surface in the sun (source: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Heat Island Group, light vs. dark pavement measurements).
Patio Resurfacing in Tempe, Step by Step
Assess & Plan
We look at shade, drainage, and how the patio gets used, then bring samples of the finishes that fit.
Clean & Repair
Grease, rust, and old sealer come off, cracks are repaired, and the edge along the house is checked for water problems.
Apply the Finish
The finish goes on by hand: texture or stamped pattern, then color, worked into corners and around posts.
Seal It
UV-stable sealer that stands up to sun, spills, and monsoon season.

Tempe Weather and Your Patio
Tempe's older neighborhoods have small lots and flat yards, so a heavy monsoon downpour can sit on a slab that has settled toward the house. Dust storms leave a film on every outdoor surface. We check where water goes at the estimate and correct low spots during prep where the slab allows it.
We cover The Lakes (south Tempe), Broadmor and the McClintock corridor, the Town Lake area (north Tempe), and Warner Ranch, across Tempe ZIP codes 85281, 85282, 85283, and 85284. Landmarks nearby include ASU and Kiwanis Park.
Tempe is about 21 straight-line miles east of our Avondale base; the service-area map, ZIP codes and soil notes for Tempe are on our Tempe page. Directions from our Avondale base.
What Drives the Cost of Patio Resurfacing in Tempe
We don't publish prices, because two patio jobs the same size can need very different prep. These are the things that move the quote up or down in Tempe:
- Obstacles: posts, walls, and fixtures that have to be finished around by hand.
- The joint along the house, and any drainage fix if water runs toward the foundation.
- Doing it with the pool deck. One combined job means one round of prep and one cure window.
- Measured area, including steps down to the yard and any walkway tied in.
- Covered or open. Open patios usually get a light coating; covered patios often take a stamped overlay (flagstone look), which takes more hand work.
In Tempe: On older south Tempe and Broadmor ranch homes, the prep work is most of the quote.

Google reviews
Reviews from Our Pool Deck Customers
In their own words, from reviews our customers left on Google.
Pool-deck reviews, not patio ones: both are from backyard deck jobs done by the same crew that handles patio work. Most jobs take 1–2 days of work plus a 3–7 day cure.
“Got a quote within a day and the work was done in 3 days. Pool deck looks brand new. Price was fair and the warranty gives us peace of mind.”
“Best decision we made for our backyard. The deck stays cool, looks amazing, and the kids can walk barefoot again. Highly recommend Master Pool Decks!”
Patio Resurfacing in Tempe: Questions We Hear
How long before we can use the patio again?
Light foot traffic in 24–48 hours; give it 3–7 days of full cure before furniture goes back. Most patios are 1–2 days of actual work.
Can you work around a small backyard?
Yes. Small Tempe lots are normal for us. Staging is tighter and access is sometimes through a side gate, but the job itself doesn't change: most decks are still 1–2 days of work.
What patio finish holds up to tenant turnover on a Tempe rental?
A sealed, textured coating in a mid tone holds up best: it hides scuffs and dust between cleanings, hoses off for a move-out, and still photographs well for the next listing near Town Lake or ASU. We put the color and scope in writing for the owner's sign-off.
Will a patio resurfacing need review in The Lakes or Warner Ranch?
Yes in planned communities such as The Lakes and Warner Ranch; plenty of older Tempe streets have no HOA. A rental also needs the owner to sign off. A patio a neighbor can see is the kind of change a review may cover, so you get samples and a written scope if your rules ask for it.
Can the pool deck in Warner Ranch, Tempe be resurfaced along with the patio?
Yes, in Warner Ranch too. Tempe's housing is older than most of the Valley, so many decks are on their original 1960s–80s surface or under a paint job that's peeling. We can quote it with this job or on its own.
How do you handle patio cracks in Tempe's 1960s and '70s neighborhoods?
We repair patio cracks before the finish goes on, and if one has heaved or keeps widening, we tell you it is slab movement. The 1960s and '70s ranch homes in south Tempe, Broadmor and the McClintock corridor have slabs with fifty years of settling, patching and sometimes old paint.
What do monsoon storms do to a resurfaced patio on small, flat Tempe lots?
Monsoon storms leave dust on your patio and test its drainage.
How quickly can you schedule patio work in Tempe?
Usually a few days out for the estimate, plus notice for the tenant if the house is a rental. Summer work begins at first light.
How hot does a patio get in the Tempe heat island?
Hot enough that we suggest a light, heat-reflective finish on an uncovered patio. Tempe sits in the middle of the metro heat island: dense pavement keeps nights hotter, so outdoor concrete cools down less overnight than it does in outlying suburbs.
Do potted plants stain a resurfaced patio?
Sometimes: water sitting under pots can leave rings. Pot feet or saucers help, and so does moving the pots now and then.
Can you resurface a patio that is part pavers and part concrete?
Only the concrete section. Each paver shifts independently, and any coating laid across them splits along the paver lines. To get one continuous finish, most owners have the pavers taken out and that area poured in concrete before we resurface.
