Pool resurfacing and replastering
Plaster has a lifespan. Most San Diego pools from the 70s, 80s, and 90s are on original plaster that's well past its service life, etched, stained, and rough to the touch. Resurfacing is the single biggest aesthetic upgrade a pool can get, and it adds another 15 to 25 years of life.

What do homeowners ask about Resurfacing?
How long does a pool resurface last?
Standard plaster: 8 to 12 years. Polished quartz: 12 to 18 years. Pebble finishes (like PebbleTec or Pebble Sheen): 15 to 25 years. Water chemistry matters a lot, harsh water shortens lifespans significantly.
What's the difference between plaster, pebble, and quartz?
Plaster is cheapest and smoothest underfoot. Quartz has added crystalline aggregate, more durable and prettier. Pebble uses exposed aggregate for a textured, mottled look, longest lasting but rougher on feet.
Do you handle tile and coping as part of resurfacing?
Yes, that's usually the right time to do it. Matching the tile and coping to a new finish is way easier than trying to do it later.
