What 15 Extra Years Looks Like

You’re not just getting a prettier pool. You’re getting 15-20 more years before your next major renovation. Your water stays clearer longer because the new surface doesn’t harbor bacteria or algae like your old, porous finish does.

The rough patches that scrape your feet disappear. The stains that made you cringe when neighbors came over—gone. Your pool becomes the centerpiece you always wanted, not the eyesore you’ve been avoiding.

Most importantly, you stop the expensive damage before it starts. Cracks that seem harmless today become structural nightmares tomorrow. A proper resurfacing job seals everything up tight, protecting your biggest backyard investment from Florida’s heat, humidity, and shifting soil.

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we drain your pool completely and assess the underlying structure. This isn’t just about the surface—we’re checking for any hidden damage that could cause problems later. Any structural issues get addressed before moving forward.

Next comes the prep work. We chip out all the old, failing plaster and remove any loose material. This step determines how long your new finish will last, so we don’t rush it. We also cut around all fittings and fixtures to ensure clean, professional edges.

Then we apply the bond coat—the critical layer that makes sure your new finish actually sticks. After that cures properly, we install your chosen finish, whether that’s Diamond Brite, Pebble Tec, or traditional plaster. Each has different benefits, and we’ll walk you through what makes sense for your situation and budget.

Your Finish Options That Actually Last

In Los Castillos, your pool faces unique challenges that not every finish can handle. The combination of intense sun, high humidity, and sandy soil that shifts with Florida’s weather patterns means you need materials designed for these conditions.

Diamond Brite offers excellent durability with a smooth finish that resists staining and algae growth. It’s a quartz-based material that holds up well to Florida’s chemical demands and UV exposure. Pebble Tec provides the most natural look with superior longevity—often lasting 20+ years even in harsh conditions.

Traditional plaster remains the most cost-effective option, though it typically needs replacement sooner in Florida’s climate. Whatever you choose, we use only materials from established manufacturers with proven track records in South Florida installations.

The key difference isn’t just the material—it’s the installation. Proper mixing ratios, correct application techniques, and adequate curing time all matter more in Florida than in drier climates. That’s where experience in local conditions makes the difference between a finish that lasts and one that fails prematurely.

Most pool resurfacing projects in Los Castillos take 5-7 business days from start to finish. This includes draining, prep work, applying the new finish, and refilling your pool. Weather can affect the timeline since Florida’s humidity and occasional rain impact curing times. We’ll never rush the process just to meet a deadline—proper curing is essential for a finish that lasts 15+ years instead of failing in just a few. The actual application of your new finish happens in one day, but the prep work and curing time before and after make up most of the project duration. You’ll get a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific pool and chosen finish.
For Los Castillos specifically, Pebble Tec and Diamond Brite both perform exceptionally well in Florida’s demanding climate. Pebble Tec offers the longest lifespan—often 20+ years—and provides natural slip resistance, which matters for year-round swimming. Diamond Brite is also excellent, offering superior stain resistance and a smoother feel underfoot. Both handle Florida’s intense UV exposure, high chemical demands, and temperature fluctuations better than traditional plaster. The choice often comes down to aesthetics and budget. Pebble Tec costs more upfront but lasts longer. Diamond Brite provides great value with a more uniform appearance. We’ll show you samples and explain how each performs in local conditions so you can make an informed decision.
Pool resurfacing in Los Castillos typically ranges from $6,000 to $15,000, depending on your pool size, chosen finish, and any additional prep work needed. A standard 1,000 square foot pool averages around $11,000 for quality materials and professional installation. Pebble Tec finishes cost more upfront but often provide better long-term value due to their extended lifespan. Diamond Brite falls in the middle range, while traditional plaster offers the lowest initial cost but may need replacement sooner in Florida’s climate. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. After assessing your pool’s condition, you’ll get a detailed quote that includes all materials, labor, and any necessary prep work. No surprises, no change orders unless you request additional work.
Pool resurfacing can fix many leak issues, especially those caused by surface cracks or deteriorated finishes. However, structural problems require separate attention before any resurfacing work begins. During the initial assessment, we perform leak detection and evaluate the pool’s structural integrity. Surface-level cracks and minor settling issues often get resolved through proper resurfacing. More serious structural problems—like major settling due to Florida’s sandy soil—need structural repairs first. We’re upfront about what resurfacing can and cannot fix. If your pool needs structural work, we’ll explain exactly what’s required and provide separate pricing. The goal is a lasting solution, not a temporary cover-up that fails in a few years.
With proper installation and maintenance, quality finishes last significantly longer in Florida than many homeowners expect. Pebble Tec typically lasts 20+ years, Diamond Brite around 15 years, and traditional plaster 8-12 years, depending on usage and care. Florida’s climate is demanding, but modern finishes are designed to handle intense UV, high chemical levels, and temperature fluctuations. The key factors affecting lifespan include proper installation, water chemistry maintenance, and regular professional care. We use only proven materials and follow manufacturer specifications exactly. This isn’t about cutting corners to win a bid—it’s about delivering finishes that actually achieve their expected lifespan in Florida’s challenging conditions.
Yes, all resurfacing work comes with a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. Warranty terms vary by finish type, but you’re protected against defects and premature failure when proper maintenance is followed. The warranty covers issues like delamination, excessive cracking, or finish failure due to installation problems. It doesn’t cover damage from improper chemical balance, physical damage, or normal wear after the warranty period expires. We stand behind our work because we use quality materials and proper installation techniques. If something goes wrong due to our workmanship, we’ll make it right. You’ll receive all warranty documentation and maintenance guidelines to ensure your finish performs as expected throughout the warranty period.
