Affordable resurfacing

Pool resurfacing and pool remodeling is an often stressful and overwhelming situation with high costs and difficult choices. You don’t want to overspend, and you want some assurance that the money you will spend is going to be worthwhile.

We have the perfect solution to give you a beautiful, resurfaced pool that will last so you are not spending money over and over again to fix the same problem.

The solution is fiberglass! Fiberglass pool resurfacing combines affordability with quality and longevity.

How does resurfacing with fiberglass work?

Drain the Pool

Pool must be fully drained so the surface of the pool can be properly prepped! The pool must be drained prior to our arrival.

Smooth the Surface

We will sand and smooth out the entire surface of the pool so that we can ensure proper bonding of the material.

Repair Cracks

Many cracks can be easily repaired by filling with bonding materials and applying fiberglass directly to the crack. Sometimes we may use carbon fiber for added strength!

Apply Fiberglass

The entire surface will be covered with several layers of fiberglass and special resins and bonding agents. The more layers we add, the stronger the coatings will be.

Apply Gel Coat

The top coat is a special gel coat that includes paint and gives you a smooth surface and a water-tight seal.

Finally: Buff the Surface

We will sand and buff the surface for a perfectly smooth finish.
