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
