Pool Resurfacing Contractors
A pool's interior surface endures constant chemical exposure, weather, and years of use - eventually, every pool needs resurfacing. Whether you're dealing with rough plaster, visible staining, etching, or exposed aggregate, professional pool resurfacing contractors can restore your pool with modern finishes including plaster, pebble, quartz aggregate, glass bead, and tile. Find licensed pool resurfacing specialists near you who will transform your pool's look and extend its life for another decade or more.
What Pool Resurfacing Involves
Pool resurfacing is the process of removing or preparing the existing interior finish and applying a new surface material. The process typically involves draining the pool, chipping or bond-coating the old surface to create adhesion, applying the new finish material, filling the pool, and performing a careful startup chemical treatment to cure the surface properly. The entire process takes 5 to 10 days depending on pool size, chosen material, and weather conditions. Resurfacing is strictly a cosmetic and waterproofing project - it does not change the pool's shape, depth, or features.
Types of Pool Resurfacing Finishes
The right finish depends on your budget, aesthetic preference, and longevity expectations. Traditional white plaster is the most affordable option at roughly $4-$7 per square foot and lasts 7-12 years. Quartz aggregate finishes ($6-$10/sqft) offer better durability and a wider range of colors while lasting 12-15 years. Pebble finishes like PebbleTec and PebbleSheen ($8-$14/sqft) are the most durable at 15-20+ years and give pools a natural, high-end appearance. Glass bead finishes provide a smooth, shimmering surface at a similar price point to pebble. Most homeowners pay between $6,000 and $15,000 for a standard residential pool resurfacing.
Selecting a Pool Resurfacing Contractor
Resurfacing quality depends heavily on surface preparation and application technique. Ask prospective contractors about their prep process - shortcuts here lead to delamination and premature failure. Request to see completed projects and ask for references from pools resurfaced 3-5 years ago so you can evaluate durability. Verify the contractor carries a pool contractor license (CPC in Florida), proper insurance, and offers a written warranty on materials and workmanship. The best contractors will walk you through finish options with physical samples so you can see how colors and textures look when wet.
