We Know Margate Pool Challenges

We’ve been handling pool resurfacing in Margate and throughout South Florida for years. We understand what Florida’s sun, heat, and occasional storms do to pool surfaces.

Most pool problems we see come from the same issues: surfaces that weren’t designed for our climate or installations that cut corners. We use materials that hold up to Margate’s conditions and application methods that ensure the job lasts.

How Pool Resurfacing Actually Works

First, we drain your pool and remove the old surface completely. This isn’t a cover-up job – we strip everything down to the shell so the new finish bonds properly.

Next comes surface preparation. We repair any cracks or structural issues, then prepare the surface for the new finish. This step determines how long your resurfacing lasts, so we don’t rush it.

Finally, we apply your chosen finish. Whether you want classic plaster, aggregate, or tile, the application process typically takes 2-3 days. After curing and filling, your pool is ready to use within a week.

What's Included in Pool Resurfacing

Complete surface removal and preparation form the foundation of every job. We don’t patch over problems – we fix them properly from the start.

You get multiple finish options designed for Florida’s climate. Standard plaster works well for most pools, while aggregate finishes offer more durability and texture options. Tile provides the longest lifespan but requires a higher upfront investment.

The process includes structural repairs if needed. Margate’s soil conditions sometimes cause minor settling or cracking. We address these issues during resurfacing so they don’t become bigger problems later.

Most pool resurfacing projects in Margate take 7-10 days from start to finish. This includes draining, surface preparation, applying the new finish, and refilling. Weather can affect timing since we need dry conditions for proper curing. Florida’s humidity means we sometimes need an extra day or two for optimal results. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions require adjustments.
Aggregate finishes perform exceptionally well in Margate’s climate. They resist staining better than standard plaster and handle temperature changes without cracking. Plaster costs less upfront but may need replacement sooner in Florida’s harsh conditions. Tile lasts longest but requires higher investment. We’ll recommend the best option based on your pool’s condition, usage, and budget after seeing your specific situation.
Pool resurfacing costs in Margate typically range from $3,000-$8,000 depending on size, current condition, and finish choice. Standard plaster runs least expensive, while aggregate and tile finishes cost more but last longer. Additional repairs for cracks or plumbing issues affect final pricing. We provide detailed estimates after inspecting your pool so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
We can resurface pools during rainy season, but timing becomes more critical. The new surface needs dry conditions for proper curing, so we monitor weather closely and adjust schedules accordingly. Summer afternoon storms are predictable enough to work around. We’d rather delay a day for perfect conditions than rush and compromise the finish quality. Most Margate homeowners prefer scheduling during drier months when possible.
Pool equipment replacement isn’t automatically required during resurfacing. We inspect your filtration system, pumps, and plumbing during the process and recommend updates only when necessary. Sometimes resurfacing reveals plumbing issues that should be addressed while the pool is empty. Older equipment might benefit from upgrading, but we’ll explain what’s essential versus what’s optional so you can make informed decisions about your investment.
New pool surfaces need gentle treatment for the first month. Keep water balanced but avoid shocking or adding heavy chemicals initially. Brush weekly with a soft brush to prevent algae buildup while the surface fully cures. After the first month, normal maintenance applies. The key is consistent water chemistry – balanced pH and chlorine levels prevent staining and extend your resurfacing investment. We provide specific maintenance guidelines for your chosen finish type.
