Common Questions
How much does it cost to resurface my pool?
Answer: The cost can vary from as little as $5000 to over $65,000. Some factors that determine the costs include size of the pool, condition, shortage of tile and coping materials near your home and how many layers need to be removed/extended. A typical project will run between $5000-$20,000+ with an average price being about $6500. Much more expensive than your typical house garage door repair or tree service.
In order for a resurface to work most effectively it needs to remove all coatings from previous servicing visits but still maintain a layer of protection on top which is why they usually recommend removal of all existing paint with a high pressure wash before applying new coatings even if it seems unnecessary or beyond repairable. The pool will then need to be acid washed before pool coating is reapplied. This cost does not include the pool filter which will still require changing on an annual basis, pool lights or pool cleaning supplies/equipment used during the pool resurfacing or pool deck repair service.
This work can also help to prolong the life of your pool liner by protecting it from UV exposure, chemical damage and staining so if you do have an older pool with a worn lining but no major leaks yet this could be your best option for continued use without purchasing new.
These are all factors that go into how much it would cost depends entirely on size, condition etc. If you would like more information about pool services including pricing contact us now!

What is the cheapest way to resurface a pool?
Answer: The cheapest way isn't always the best way. This is because of two things. Firstly, it's important to know that a cheaper fix is usually the one that will cost you the most in the long run; in other words, a cheap fix typically only lasts few years when a resurfacing basically brings your pool back to new. Secondly, approaching this project with the right knowledge will save time and frustration in the long run, in terms of servicing and maintenance costs. Saving money by getting an inexpensive resurfacing material might not mean what you think it does (not getting a durable resurfacing material). Let me explain; when I say cheap I don't mean that for $5 you'll get something that lasts 2-3 years like some suggest. No! Let me clarify.... when I say cheap - because it's much loftier than expected to ask "what's the cheapest way?" - think of it as an investment. You invest money in resurfacing and deck repair- all of the pool resurfacing processes are designed to make accurate knowledge easily available before, during and after each part of the project is scheduled.
How long should pool resurfacing last?
Answer: Your newly resurfaced pool should last at least 10+ years or more when you maintain and service it correctly.
Resurfacing is a great way for home owners to make their pool look like new but it does require maintenance and occasional cleaning because the coatings wear over time. The lifespan of your pool's finish depends on usage, upkeep practices, environment (sun exposure) and other factors like whether your chemicals are balanced or not. A lot of homeowners who know how to care for their pools maintain them beautifully so they can enjoy a restored surface time after time.

A lot of homeowners who know how to care for their pools maintain them beautifully so they can enjoy a restored surface time after time.
How long does resurfacing a pool take?
Answer: On average, most typical pools will need to have their surfaces dried, cleaned and re-applied every 4 - 7 years depending on annual usage and pool general conditions. It takes pool construction companies 1-2 day to complete the final refinishing, but pool teardown and pool reconstruction can take up to a week or more. Pool reconstruction is an extensive job that requires tile removal, coping removal and the pool to be completely disassembled until nothing is left standing but the pool shells. When completed, it's time for finishing because the original finishes typically do not last more than 20 years.
What happens if you don't resurface your pool?
Answer: If you don't resurface your pool, then the plaster layer of the pool will harden over time, which will make it more difficult to maintain. A hardened plaster surface can also harbor substances that should not be put into the water because they could leave a residue or create an unpleasant odor. Chlorine will break down all exposed surfaces including plaster. The use of non-chlorinated cleaners is recommended for cleaning exposed surfaces but chlorination should still take place within 24 hours for adults and 72 hours for children under six years old due to their vulnerability to drowning.
How often should you Replaster your pool?
Answer: The type of material your pool is made of largely dictates the frequency of water changes, which in turn dictate re-plastering requirements. If you have a chemically treated pool then it will be necessary to maintain your chlorine levels according to directions on the product label. We recommend keeping an eye on phosphate buffering tablet readings too, because this also affects how frequently you must re-plaster your pool. The specific amount and type of tablets needed depends on the type of materials used for your swimming pool construction or renovation - so speak to us direct if you need help determining what's right for the job. Climate conditions also play a role in when re-plasterers should be applied to any particular set up; although more is not always the best choice.
Pool Deck Repair |
Pool Resurfacing |
Deck repairs are repairs to address any cracks or faults with your pool deck. For example, if the pool gets old and start looking like this:
-Failing grout joints in tile -No mortar cracking in brick -Interlock cracking in concrete You might need a deck repair. The problems that often cause these needs for repairs are age, weathering, and exposure to sun and extreme cold. Decks can also be susceptible when pipes leak water under them when broken or leaking: this encourages moss growth which further increases the risk of deterioration due to limited access for soil aeration and unfavorable amounts of water drainage. These damages happen because everything we build deteriorates over time; it's just a Pool RemodelingPool remodeling is when we come in and help revitalize the surface deck of your pool with a new patio or wet bar, replace broken tile lines, resurface the entire pool floor with resin-sealer to protect against stains and make it easier to clean, install salt water chlorinators for germ-free pools without all the added chlorine. We will even include free quotes on installing features like temperature regulation or waterfalls if desired.
pool remodeling includes: resurfacing, tile repair and replacement, and pool finishes. When your pool starts to look dull with a chalky white color instead of glossy blue or when stains start becoming visible in high traffic areas like the bottom steps into the water then it is time for resurfacing. Resurfacing can be done by using extremely fine sandpaper or with an application of resin-sealer that will protect against the elements and last with little to no upkeep over time. This can increase your average lifespan on your pool up to 15 years which equates to huge savings. Resurfacing should be considered year-round but especially during spring months because winter poses damage from harsh cold weather chemicals used for keeping your pool in great shape. Pool Deck Remodeling This is when we come in and help revitalize your deck and/or pool coping. We can resurface, seal and paint your deck to make it look brand new again. If its been more than 10 years since you've had any work done on your deck then I'm sure at one point you didn't think you'd need to come back and do anything about it. But the harsh sun, the salt water, the pool chemicals over time will eat away at your concrete surface causing cracks and chips all which can eventually lead to bigger problems down the road. So let's fix that before something happens! Pool Deck Resurfacing Normal pool resurfacing includes a resurface to the pool deck. Pool deck resurfacing, is used as a term for replacing all or most of the ground surface with an impervious material such as asphalt, wood, concrete or composites that will allow foot traffic numbers to be higher and reduce damage caused to the ground by large equipment. Decks come in many different shapes and sizes and opt for how much space you can afford and what kind of look you're going for (from sleek and modern to antique). Your deck may suffer from heavy tree roots or slippery algae; if so you should talk with your contractor about these things before work even starts. |
When it comes to resurfacing then I'm sure you know your pools deck surface is cracked and its time to resurface. The only problem is, you aren't exactly sure what that entails or what else needs to be done around the pool after we are finished resurfacing it.
Well let me give you a run down of what happens during our resurfacing process for you deck: First thing we do when we come out is test the pH level of your existing plaster or grout on the pool surface. If you've been experiencing problems with either then chances are they need to be re-sealed. We will apply a thin coat of sealer directly onto the cracks in order for them not to become worse over time. Then we will apply a skim coat of new plaster or grout over the entire pool surface and surrounding coping (depending on the extent of work needed). While were applying this new surface we like to add a darker colorant into this skim coat in order for your existing concrete not to show through during the resurfacing process. Once that dried we then apply 2 coats of our 100% acrylic sealer directly onto the new substrate. We use high quality materials because once it dries, it wont blister or peel which ultimately makes your life much easier down the road. After you have smooth clean surface with no visible seams, cracks or chips from being chipped away by pool chemicals over time, we are then finished!

We Will Revitalize Your Pool
Resurfacing can also help your pool's tile and coping look like new. If you've ever seen a pool that required pool reconstruction, you may have noticed pool tiles or coping as having "holes" in them from salt and calcium deposits. A pool renovation will cost 10 to 20 times more than resurfacing because the existing pool finish must be completely removed before a new one is applied. Once pool construction begins, it's hard to hold off for a few years until the pool needs to be refinished again. It would require a complete teardown of the pool structure since all openings around your pool are sealed during construction. So if you want another resurface project done later, you need to wait 3-5 years for it to be done.
Resurfacing can dramatically change the pool area's appearance and allow homeowners to create a backyard oasis all their own. After pool finishing is completed, other pool renovation products like pool coping or pool tile can be added. The new deck should be refinished too so it blends with the newly created pool finish. |
Pool resurfacing is one of the least expensive ways for both home owners and pool builders to keep their concrete pools looking like new for many years to come! Many contractors are still offering lower prices than they did 15-20 years ago because resurfacing has become more affordable over time (due in part to technology advances). Pools that were finished 10+ years ago will need another top coat because pool finishes typically do not last more than 20 years.
Pool refinishing takes approximately 5-7 days after pool preparation is done. Depending on your pool's age and condition, the pool water may need to be drained before the resurfacing process can begin. After pool teardown has been completed, pool finishing requires about one day of curing time with the pool water empty or partially filled with clean water. Once it's dried well for several hours (not overnight) the pool is ready for fresh water again so you can enjoy using it quickly! |
