What You Get After Pool Resurfacing

Your pool becomes safe again. No more rough surfaces cutting feet or catching swimsuits. The water stays cleaner longer because the new surface doesn’t harbor algae like old, pitted finishes do.

You’ll save money on chemicals. A properly resurfaced pool requires fewer chemicals to maintain balance, and your equipment lasts longer when it’s not fighting against a deteriorating surface.

Your property value increases immediately. A freshly resurfaced pool signals to potential buyers that the home has been well-maintained, and it becomes a selling point rather than a concern.

Pool Resurfacing Process Island Key

Here's Exactly What Happens

We start with a thorough inspection of your pool surface. We’re looking for cracks, chips, staining, and areas where the old surface is failing. This tells us what prep work is needed and helps us recommend the best finish for your situation.

Next, we drain your pool and prepare the surface. This might involve sandblasting, acid washing, or patching depending on the condition. We don’t cut corners here because the prep work determines how long your new surface will last.

Then we apply your chosen finish. Whether it’s plaster, aggregate, or tile, we use materials specifically rated for saltwater environments. The application process typically takes 2-3 days, followed by a careful curing period.

Finally, we refill your pool and balance the water chemistry. You’ll receive detailed instructions on startup care, and we’re available if you have any questions during the first few weeks.

What's Included in Your Resurfacing

Your resurfacing project includes complete surface preparation, application of your chosen finish, and startup balancing. We also inspect and repair any structural issues we discover during the prep phase.

Island Key pool owners face unique challenges that mainland contractors don’t understand. The salt air here corrodes standard materials in months, not years. That’s why we use marine-grade sealers and finishes that are specifically formulated for coastal environments.

We offer several finish options depending on your budget and preferences. Standard plaster works well for basic resurfacing, while aggregate finishes provide superior durability and appearance. For the ultimate in longevity, we recommend pebble finishes that can last 15-20 years in this environment.

Every project comes with a detailed warranty and our 24/7 emergency service guarantee. If something goes wrong, we’re here to fix it quickly.

Pool resurfacing costs in Island Key typically range from $5,000 to $12,000 for a standard residential pool, depending on size and finish choice. The price varies based on your pool’s current condition and the type of surface you select. Basic plaster resurfacing is the most affordable option, usually running $4-6 per square foot. Aggregate finishes cost more upfront but last significantly longer in our salt air environment, making them a better long-term value. We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your pool because every situation is different. Factors like structural repairs, access challenges, and finish selection all impact the final cost.
Most pool resurfacing projects in Island Key take 5-7 days from start to finish, weather permitting. This includes draining, surface preparation, application, and refilling. The timeline can extend if we discover structural issues that need repair or if weather doesn’t cooperate. Island Key’s humidity and occasional storms can affect curing times, so we never rush the process. You’ll be able to swim again 7-10 days after completion. The surface needs time to properly cure, and the water chemistry needs to stabilize before it’s safe for swimming.
Aggregate and pebble finishes perform best in Island Key’s challenging environment. These surfaces resist the corrosive effects of salt air much better than standard plaster. Pebble finishes are our top recommendation for longevity. They typically last 15-20 years here compared to 7-10 years for plaster. The natural stone surface also provides better traction and feels more comfortable underfoot. For budget-conscious homeowners, quartz aggregate offers a good compromise between cost and durability. It costs more than basic plaster but significantly outperforms it in our coastal conditions.
Yes, we stand behind every resurfacing project with our satisfaction guarantee. We use only materials rated for saltwater environments and follow manufacturer specifications exactly. Our warranty covers both materials and workmanship. If you experience premature failure due to our work or materials, we’ll make it right at no cost to you. We also provide 24/7 emergency service if you have issues after completion. Most problems that arise are related to water chemistry, not the surface itself, and we’re here to help you get back to enjoying your pool quickly.
We handle both cosmetic resurfacing and structural repairs. Many pools in Island Key develop cracks or other structural issues due to ground shifting from heavy rains and hurricane activity. During our initial inspection, we identify any structural problems that need attention before resurfacing. Attempting to resurface over structural damage is a waste of money because the new surface will fail quickly. We’re equipped to handle everything from minor crack repairs to major structural work. Our goal is to give you a resurfacing job that will last, which means addressing any underlying issues first.
Proper startup care is critical for the first 30 days after resurfacing. We provide detailed instructions and are available to answer questions during this crucial period. The new surface needs to cure properly, which means maintaining specific water chemistry levels and avoiding aggressive brushing or vacuuming. We’ll test and adjust your water chemistry multiple times during the first few weeks. After the startup period, maintenance becomes routine. However, Island Key’s environment requires more frequent chemical monitoring than inland areas. We offer ongoing maintenance service if you prefer to leave it to professionals.
