Pool resurfacing and remodels in Pinellas County
A pool you want to get into again.
01 · The finishes
Plaster
7 to 10 years
Smooth. The classic bright white, or a colour.
Quartz
10 to 15 years
Smooth with a fleck. Holds its colour longer than plain plaster.
Pebble
15 to 20 years
Textured. The finish most people picture when they say resurface.
Three surfaces. You stand on one of them for the next seven to twenty years.
Plaster, quartz and pebble feel different underfoot, and one lasts twice as long as another.
02 · Cost per year
They cost about the same per year.
Divide what each finish costs by how long it lasts.
Within 8% of each other, worked from either end. So price is not the decision. Choose by how it feels underfoot and how often you want to drain the pool.
03 · Time without a pool
Two weeks with no pool.
This is the part nobody selling a resurface brings up.
Day 1
The water goes
A pump empties it to the street drain in about six hours.
Days 2 to 4
The old surface comes off
Chipped back to sound shell, which is where any hollow spots get found.
Days 5 to 8
The new finish goes on
Bond coat, the finish, then tile and coping if they are in the same visit.
Days 9 to 11
Refill, and the brushing
The hose runs until it is full, then we brush it twice a day while it cures.
Days 12 to 14
You swim
Once the water balances. You get both dates before any money moves.

Make this a fixed quoteThe finish and the size travel with you. Answer two short questions, add two photos, done.
A sun shelf is poured while the pool is already drained. That is the only time it is cheap to add one.
05 · Resurface or remodel
One of these comes round again. The other you do once.
A resurface comes round again when the finish wears out. A remodel changes the pool for good.

07 · Questions
Questions before you drain a pool
What could make the number change after the quote?
Only the shell. If the old surface comes off and there are hollow spots or cracks we could not see, the extra prep is priced before any work continues, and you can stop there.
Can I do tile and coping later?
You can, but it costs more done separately. The waterline tile and coping come off with the old surface, so doing them in the same visit saves the second setup.
Do you also do weekly service?
No. Renovation work only. We can point you to service companies we trust.
Which towns do you take pools in?
Clearwater, Largo, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Palm Harbor and Belleair. Further out than that, ask. It depends on the drive more than the pool.
