What Proper Resurfacing Actually Gets You

You get a pool surface that feels smooth under your feet again. No more rough patches that scrape skin or collect algae in every crevice.

Your water stays cleaner longer because the new surface doesn’t harbor bacteria like those old, porous finishes. Less chemical balancing, fewer algae blooms, more time enjoying your pool instead of fighting it.

The transformation goes beyond function. Your backyard becomes a space you’re proud to show neighbors again, not something you hope they don’t notice from their deck.

Pool Resurfacing Process Lakeview

The Real Process, Step by Step

First, we drain your pool and assess the existing surface condition. Any structural issues get addressed before new material goes down – because covering problems doesn’t fix them.

Next comes surface preparation. Old plaster gets removed down to sound substrate. This isn’t a quick sandblasting job. Proper prep work determines how long your new surface will last.

Then we apply your chosen finish material. Whether it’s traditional plaster, aggregate, or premium finishes like Diamond Brite, application timing and technique matter. Temperature, humidity, and cure time all affect the final result.

Finally, we fill and balance your pool properly. The initial water chemistry affects how your new surface will perform for years to come. Rush this step, and you’ll see problems within months.

What's Included in Professional Resurfacing

Complete surface preparation and removal of failed material. Surface repairs to address any underlying structural issues before new application.

Professional-grade finish materials that handle Lakeview’s specific water conditions and climate. Options range from cost-effective plaster to premium aggregate finishes that resist staining and provide longer service life.

Proper curing and startup procedures that protect your investment from day one. Initial water balancing uses the right chemistry for your specific finish type – not generic startup procedures that can damage new surfaces.

All work comes with upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying before work begins. No surprise charges for “unexpected” conditions that experienced contractors should anticipate in older pools.

Most pool resurfacing projects in Lakeview take 5-7 days from drain to swim-ready, depending on your pool size and chosen finish material. Weather can extend this timeline since humidity affects curing. Day one involves draining and surface assessment. Days 2-3 cover prep work and any necessary repairs. Application happens on day 4, followed by curing time before refilling. The final 1-2 days involve filling, initial chemical balancing, and startup procedures. Rushing any of these steps compromises the finish quality, so we build appropriate time into our schedules.
Aggregate finishes like Diamond Brite perform exceptionally well in South Florida’s climate and water conditions. They resist staining better than traditional plaster and handle the mineral content in local water supplies. Standard white plaster remains the most economical option but requires more frequent maintenance in Florida’s intense sun and heat. It typically needs replacement every 7-10 years versus 12-15 for premium finishes. Pebble and glass bead finishes offer the longest service life but come at higher upfront cost. For most Lakeview pools, mid-range aggregate finishes provide the best balance of durability, appearance, and value.
Pool resurfacing costs in Lakeview typically range from $4,000-$8,000 for standard residential pools, depending on size, current condition, and finish selection. Larger pools or those requiring extensive prep work cost more. Basic white plaster represents the lower end of this range. Premium aggregate finishes, tile work, or structural repairs increase the investment but provide better long-term value through extended service life. Accurate pricing requires on-site assessment since every pool presents different challenges. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs clearly, with no hidden charges for standard preparation work.
Widespread staining, rough texture throughout the pool, or multiple areas of plaster failure indicate it’s time for complete resurfacing rather than spot repairs. Patching only works for isolated damage areas. If you’re adding chemicals more frequently to maintain water balance, your surface has likely become too porous for effective patches. Old surfaces absorb chemicals and harbor bacteria in ways that patching can’t address. Generally, if repair costs approach 30-40% of resurfacing costs, or if you’ve already patched multiple areas, complete resurfacing provides better long-term value and eliminates ongoing maintenance headaches.
No, new pool surfaces require proper curing time before swimming. Most finishes need 7-14 days of controlled water exposure and chemical balancing before they’re safe for swimmers. During this period, the surface continues hardening and any excess alkalinity needs to be neutralized through careful water chemistry management. Swimming too early can damage the finish and create rough spots. We handle this startup process as part of our service, monitoring water chemistry daily and making adjustments. Attempting to rush this process or manage it yourself often results in finish problems that require costly repairs.
Most pool resurfacing projects in Lakeview don’t require permits since they’re maintenance rather than structural modifications. However, any electrical work, plumbing changes, or structural repairs may trigger permit requirements. We understand Broward County regulations and handle any necessary permitting as part of our service. We know which projects require approvals and manage the process to keep your project on schedule. If your resurfacing includes additional work like new tile, lighting, or equipment upgrades, permit requirements become more likely. We assess these needs during initial consultation and factor permit costs into project pricing upfront.
