North Lauderdale Pool Professionals

We Actually Know Pool Surfaces

DCP Pool Services has been handling pool resurfacing for North Lauderdale homeowners who got tired of dealing with deteriorating surfaces. We hold CPO certification, which means our technicians actually understand pool chemistry and surface compatibility.

Most pool owners in Broward County deal with the same problems. Florida’s year-round sun and heat accelerate surface wear, and many companies either don’t understand the science or cut corners on materials.

We use proven techniques and quality materials because we know you’re not looking for a temporary fix. You want it done right the first time.

Pool Resurfacing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we drain your pool and assess the existing surface condition. This tells us what prep work is needed and which resurfacing option makes the most sense for your situation.

Next comes surface preparation. We remove the old, damaged material and fix any underlying issues. This step determines how long your new surface will last, so we don’t rush it.

Then we apply your new surface. Whether it’s plaster, pebble, or another finish, we follow manufacturer specifications and cure times. No shortcuts that come back to bite you later.

Finally, we refill your pool and balance the water chemistry. You get a surface that’s ready to use and built to handle North Lauderdale’s climate.

What's Actually Included in Resurfacing

Pool resurfacing includes complete surface removal, substrate repair, and new finish application. You’re not just getting a cosmetic update – you’re getting structural integrity restored.

North Lauderdale pools face specific challenges. The heat cycles cause expansion and contraction that can crack inferior surfaces. High UV exposure fades cheap finishes quickly. We account for these local factors when selecting materials.

Surface options include traditional plaster, aggregate finishes, and specialty coatings. Each has different durability, texture, and cost considerations. We’ll explain what makes sense for your pool’s size, usage, and budget without pushing the most expensive option.

How long does pool resurfacing take in North Lauderdale?

Most pool resurfacing projects take 5-7 days from start to finish, but weather can extend this timeline. Florida’s afternoon thunderstorms sometimes delay curing, especially during summer months. The actual work breaks down to 1-2 days for draining and prep, 1 day for surface application, and 3-4 days for curing and refilling. We schedule around weather forecasts to avoid delays that waste your time. You’ll get a realistic timeline upfront, not an optimistic guess that leaves you without a pool longer than expected.

What pool surface materials work best in Florida heat?

Aggregate finishes typically outlast plain plaster in North Lauderdale’s climate. The sun and heat cycles that are tough on traditional plaster don’t affect pebble or quartz surfaces as much. Plaster can last 7-10 years here if properly maintained, but aggregate finishes often go 12-15 years. The upfront cost difference usually pays for itself in longevity, especially if you’re planning to stay in your home. We explain the real-world performance differences so you can make an informed decision. We’re not trying to sell you the most expensive option – we want you to get the right option.

How much does pool resurfacing cost in North Lauderdale?

Pool resurfacing typically runs $3-7 per square foot depending on surface type and prep work needed. A standard 500 square foot pool surface costs $1,500-3,500 for basic plaster, or $2,500-4,500 for aggregate finishes. Additional costs come from structural repairs, tile replacement, or equipment updates discovered during prep work. We inspect everything before starting so you know what you’re looking at financially. We provide written estimates with line-item pricing. No surprises, no “extras” that magically appear once work starts. You know the total cost before we touch your pool.

Can you resurface a pool without replacing the tile?

Yes, existing tile can often stay if it’s in good condition and properly bonded. We evaluate tile condition during the initial assessment and tell you what can be saved. Sometimes tile that looks fine actually has adhesion issues that will cause problems with the new surface. We check for loose pieces, cracks, and proper waterline sealing before making recommendations. If tile replacement is needed, we handle that as part of the resurfacing project. This ensures proper integration between the new surface and tile work, plus you only deal with one contractor for the entire job.

What happens if it rains during pool resurfacing?

Rain during surface application can ruin the finish, which is why we monitor weather forecasts carefully before starting. We won’t apply new surface material if rain is expected within the curing window. If unexpected weather hits during curing, we have protocols to protect the work. This might mean extending the timeline, but it prevents having to redo the entire surface because of weather damage. North Lauderdale’s afternoon thunderstorm pattern is predictable most of the year. We schedule surface application for morning starts when possible, giving maximum curing time before typical afternoon weather arrives.

How long before you can swim after pool resurfacing?

Most surfaces need 7-10 days of curing before swimming is safe. This isn’t just about the surface being hard enough – it’s about pH stability and chemical balance. New plaster releases calcium hydroxide as it cures, which throws off water chemistry. Swimming too early can damage the surface and create water quality issues. We test water chemistry before giving the all-clear. We handle the initial water balancing as part of the resurfacing service. You don’t have to guess when it’s safe to swim or figure out the chemistry yourself – we tell you exactly when your pool is ready.
