The Complete Guide to Pool Resurfacing in South Florida

Introduction 

Over time, even the best-built pools start to show signs of wear. Cracks, stains, or rough textures are more than just cosmetic issues, they can impact your pool’s safety, comfort, and long-term durability. That’s where pool resurfacing comes in. At Project Concepts, we’ve been helping South Florida homeowners restore and upgrade their pools for over 25 years. Here’s everything you need to know about resurfacing your pool. 

Why Resurfacing Matters 

Resurfacing not only refreshes the look of your pool but also: 

  • Extends the life of your pool structure. 
  • Improves comfort for swimmers. 
  • Prevents leaks and structural damage. 
  • Boosts your home’s value and curb appeal. 

Signs It’s Time to Resurface 

  • Cracks or Chips: Structural wear that shouldn’t be ignored. 
  • Stains & Discoloration: Chemical and mineral buildup over time. 
  • Rough Texture: Causes skin irritation and is uncomfortable to walk on. 
  • Frequent Leaks or Water Loss: May indicate damage beneath the surface. 

Resurfacing Material Options 

1. Traditional Plaster 

  • Budget-friendly, smooth finish. 
  • Lasts 7–10 years. 

2. PebbleTec® 

  • Premium durability (20+ years). 
  • Natural, high-end aesthetic. 
  • Wide variety of colors and textures. 

3. Glass Tile 

  • Luxury finish with endless design possibilities. 
  • Extremely durable but higher in cost. 

The Resurfacing Process 

  1. Drain the Pool – Safely remove all water. 
  2. Prep & Remove Old Surface – Chipping or sandblasting. 
  3. Apply New Finish – Chosen material installed by certified professionals. 
  4. Cure & Refill – Proper curing ensures longevity. 
  5. Balance Chemicals – Water chemistry adjusted before use. 

How Long Does It Take? 

Most resurfacing projects in South Florida take 1–2 weeks, depending on pool size, material, and weather conditions.
