Which Do You Need?

Pool Resurfacing vs. a Full Remodel

These two get confused constantly. Resurfacing replaces just the interior finish; a remodel goes further. Here's how to tell which one your pool actually needs.

Want the fuller breakdown? Read our guide: Pool Resurfacing vs. Remodel — How to Tell Which One You Need.

Signs You Likely Need Resurfacing

  • Rough, abrasive texture on the pool floor or walls
  • Staining or discoloration that won't clean off
  • Chipping, peeling, or delaminating plaster
  • Plaster is 10+ years old and looking dull

Signs You Likely Need a Full Remodel

  • The tile, coping, or deck look dated next to a new finish
  • A skimmer, drain, or fitting needs replacing anyway
  • You're already resurfacing and want to fix everything at once
  • Structural repairs, leaks, or a cracked shell need addressing

FAQ

Pool Resurfacing & Remodel FAQ

Should I resurface my pool or do a full remodel?
If the shell, tile, and equipment are all still in good shape, resurfacing the interior finish alone is usually enough. A full remodel makes more sense when you're also dealing with dated tile, an aging deck, or old equipment at the same time. We scope every project individually rather than upselling a bigger job than you need.
What does pool resurfacing cost in Orange County?
A standard resurfacing job starts around $9,850 depending on pool size and finish choice. Add tile or decking as part of a partial remodel and you're typically looking at $15,000–$25,000; a full remodel with new finish, decking, tile, and equipment runs roughly $30,000–$70,000+.
How long does a pool resurfacing or remodel take?
A resurfacing-only project typically takes 5–7 days from drain to refill. Once decking, tile, or equipment work is added to the scope, plan on 3–6 weeks depending on how much is being replaced.
What's the best pool finish for an Orange County pool?
Mini pebble is what we recommend most often — it stands up well to Southern California sun and water chemistry, resists staining, and typically runs 15–20+ years before it needs attention again. Standard plaster is the lower-cost option but has a shorter lifespan, and quartz gives you the broadest color range with strong durability.
Can a skimmer be replaced during a resurfacing or remodel?
Yes, and it's a common add-on since the pool is already drained. A cracked or dated skimmer is easy to swap out at the same time as the finish, tile, or decking.
Can I add paver decking while my pool is being resurfaced?
Yes — bundling deck work with resurfacing is common and usually more cost-effective than doing it as a separate project, since the pool area is already staged and drained.
Does ACE handle pool remodel permits?
Yes. Structural, plumbing, and equipment work on a pool remodel requires permits and inspections in every city we serve. We manage the entire permitting and inspection process for every project.

Thinking about adding something while the pool is already open? Baja steps, shallowing, a spa, waterfalls, deck jets and trim tile are all far easier during a remodel than after one. Read the pool upgrades guide →
