What Your Pool Looks Like After

Your pool becomes the centerpiece of your backyard again. No more embarrassment when friends come over, no more cuts from rough surfaces, no more endless patching of the same cracks.

The new surface stays smooth and attractive for decades, not months. You’ll spend less time on maintenance and more time actually enjoying your pool. Chemical costs drop because the new surface doesn’t absorb and waste your sanitizers like the old, porous one did.

Most importantly, you stop worrying about your pool. It becomes an asset that adds real value to your property instead of a constant source of stress and expense.

Fort Lauderdale Pool Resurfacing Company

We Know Fort Lauderdale Pools

We’ve been resurfacing pools throughout Fort Lauderdale for years. We understand what this climate does to pool surfaces and which materials actually hold up to the UV exposure, humidity, and temperature swings.

You’re not getting a crew that learned pool resurfacing somewhere else and moved here. We’ve been dealing with Fort Lauderdale’s specific challenges from day one. We know which shortcuts other companies take and why they don’t work long-term.

Every job comes with proper licensing, insurance, and warranties that mean something because we’ll be here to honor them.

Pool Resurfacing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we drain your pool completely and remove the old, damaged surface down to the shell. This isn’t a patch job – we’re starting fresh with a solid foundation.

Next comes surface preparation. We repair any structural issues, ensure proper bonding, and create the right profile for the new finish to adhere properly. This step determines whether your new surface lasts two years or twenty.

Then we apply your chosen finish using proven techniques and quality materials. Whether you want plaster, aggregate, or tile, we install it right the first time. The curing process takes several days, during which we monitor water chemistry to ensure the surface sets properly.

Finally, we fill your pool, balance the water chemistry, and walk you through the startup process. You get written care instructions and our contact information for any questions.

What's Included in Your Resurfacing

Complete surface removal and preparation, not just a coating over existing problems. Structural repairs to address any underlying issues that caused the original surface to fail. Professional-grade materials that are designed for Fort Lauderdale’s climate.

We handle all permits and inspections required by local codes. Your project includes cleanup and disposal of old materials – we don’t leave you with a mess to deal with.

You get a detailed timeline upfront so you know exactly when you’ll have your pool back. Most residential pool resurfacing projects take 5-7 days from start to finish, weather permitting. We also provide startup chemicals and written instructions for maintaining your new surface during the critical first few weeks.

Most residential pool resurfacing projects take 5-7 working days from start to finish. This includes draining, surface removal, preparation, application of new finish, and refilling. Weather can extend the timeline since we need dry conditions for proper curing. We schedule projects with buffer time built in so you’re not left waiting if we hit a rainy stretch. The actual work days are consecutive – we don’t start your project then disappear for other jobs. You’ll have a clear timeline upfront and regular updates if anything changes.
In Fort Lauderdale’s climate, you need materials that handle intense UV, high humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Standard white plaster is the most affordable but typically lasts 7-10 years here. Quartz and pebble aggregates perform better, lasting 15-20 years with proper maintenance. They resist staining and provide better durability against our weather conditions. Tile is the longest-lasting option but costs significantly more upfront. We’ll recommend the best material based on your budget, usage patterns, and long-term goals rather than just selling you the most expensive option.
Pool resurfacing costs vary based on size, current condition, and material choice. Basic plaster resurfacing for an average residential pool typically ranges from $4,000-$7,000. Aggregate finishes run $6,000-$12,000 depending on the specific product and pool size. Additional costs come from necessary repairs to plumbing, tile, or structural issues we discover during surface removal. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront – no surprises or change orders for normal scope work. The investment pays for itself through reduced maintenance costs and increased property value.
In most cases, yes, but it depends on the tile’s condition and how it was originally installed. If your tile is in good shape and properly adhered, we can work around it during resurfacing. However, sometimes removing the old surface damages tile that looked fine beforehand. We’ll assess your tile during the initial inspection and let you know if we see potential issues. When possible, preserving existing tile saves money and time. If replacement is needed, we handle that as part of the project. Either way, you’ll know the plan and costs upfront.
The first 30 days are critical for your new surface. You’ll need to brush the pool daily to remove plaster dust and prevent calcium buildup. Water chemistry must be carefully balanced – we provide specific startup chemicals and detailed instructions. Avoid aggressive brushing or automatic pool cleaners during this period. After the initial cure, maintenance becomes easier than your old surface. The new finish resists staining and algae better, so you’ll use fewer chemicals long-term. We provide written care instructions and are available for questions during the startup period.
Yes, we provide warranties on both materials and workmanship. Material warranties vary by manufacturer but typically cover defects for 1-3 years depending on the finish you choose. Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for one full year. This means if the surface fails due to improper preparation or application, we fix it at no cost. Normal wear, chemical damage from improper maintenance, or structural movement aren’t covered, but actual installation problems are. We’re a local company that’s been here for years – our warranty means something because we’ll be here to honor it.
