Pool Resurfacing Company Playland Isles

We Know Florida Pool Surfaces

We’ve been resurfacing pools across South Florida for years, and we understand what works in this climate. The salt air, UV exposure, and year-round swimming season demand materials and techniques that many contractors don’t fully grasp.

We’re licensed, insured, and trained on the latest resurfacing technologies. Our team has seen every type of pool surface failure you can imagine, from delaminating plaster to aggregate that’s worn smooth as glass.

When you work with us, you’re getting contractors who live and work in this market. We know which finishes hold up best in Playland Isles and which shortcuts lead to callbacks.

Here's How We Resurface Your Pool

First, we drain your pool completely and remove the old surface. This isn’t just chipping away the loose stuff – we take it down to sound substrate so the new finish bonds properly. Any structural repairs get handled at this stage.

Next comes surface preparation. We clean, etch, and prime as needed based on your pool’s specific conditions. Then we apply your new finish, whether that’s plaster, aggregate, or one of the newer ceramic options.

The curing process takes about a week, during which we monitor water chemistry carefully. We’ll walk you through the startup process and maintenance requirements so your new surface lasts as long as possible. Most pools are ready for swimming within 7-10 days of completion.

What's Included In Your Resurfacing

You get complete surface removal and replacement, not just a patch job over failing areas. We handle all the prep work, from draining to cleaning to making any necessary structural repairs before applying your new finish.

Your project includes professional-grade materials designed for Florida’s climate. We work with finishes that resist UV damage, chemical staining, and the thermal cycling that comes with year-round pool use in this area.

We also include proper startup procedures and water balancing guidance. Many surface failures happen in the first few weeks due to improper chemistry, so we make sure you understand how to protect your investment from day one.

Most resurfacing projects take 7-10 days from start to swimming. The actual application happens in 2-3 days, but the curing process requires careful water chemistry management for about a week. Weather can extend timelines slightly, especially during Florida’s rainy season. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The key is not rushing the cure – doing it right the first time means your surface will last 15-20 years instead of needing repairs in just a few years.
Plaster is the traditional smooth finish – it’s affordable and looks clean, but shows wear and staining more readily. Aggregate finishes mix plaster with materials like quartz, pebbles, or glass beads for added durability and visual interest. Aggregate typically lasts longer and hides minor imperfections better, but costs more upfront. In Florida’s climate, we often recommend aggregate because it handles UV exposure and chemical fluctuations better than plain plaster. The texture also provides better slip resistance, which many families prefer.
If you’re seeing widespread roughness, staining that won’t clean off, or areas where the old finish is flaking or exposing the underlying structure, it’s time for full resurfacing. Small cracks or isolated rough spots might be repairable, but these often indicate the entire surface is nearing the end of its life. Most pool surfaces last 15-20 years in Florida before needing replacement. If your pool is in that age range and showing multiple problem areas, resurfacing is usually more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.
Resurfacing addresses the finish layer, but we handle minor structural repairs as part of the prep work. Small cracks in the shell get properly sealed before we apply the new surface. However, major structural issues like settling, significant cracking, or plumbing problems need to be addressed separately. During our initial inspection, we’ll identify any structural concerns and explain what needs to happen before resurfacing. Most pools just need finish replacement, but it’s important to fix underlying problems first so your new surface doesn’t fail prematurely.
Costs vary based on your pool size, current condition, and finish choice. Basic plaster resurfacing typically runs less than premium aggregate finishes, but the price difference often makes sense given the durability improvement. We provide detailed written estimates after inspecting your specific pool – there are too many variables to give accurate pricing over the phone. Factors like access difficulty, structural repairs needed, and finish selection all impact the final cost. We’ll explain all your options and help you choose the best value for your situation and budget.
The first month is critical – you’ll need to brush the surface daily and monitor water chemistry closely. New finishes release compounds that affect pH and alkalinity, so expect to adjust chemicals more frequently at first. After the initial cure period, maintenance becomes routine again. Brush weekly, maintain proper chemical balance, and avoid abrasive cleaning tools. Most importantly, don’t let algae establish itself on the new surface. We provide specific startup instructions and are available for questions during those first few weeks. Following proper startup procedures can double or triple your surface’s lifespan.
