Pool Resurfacing & Replastering in Howell

We bring the backing of ASP, the nation’s largest swimming pool franchise with over 250 locations in 22 states since 2002, to homeowners right here in Howell.

5 Signs Your Howell Pool Needs Resurfacing

Knowing when to resurface can save you from more costly structural repairs down the road. Here are the five warning signs to watch for:

Flaking or Peeling Plaster
When pool water runs low in pH or calcium for an extended period, it dissolves calcium hydroxide from the plaster surface. Once plaster begins flaking, replastering is the only lasting fix.

Surface Stains
Copper, calcium, organic matter, tannin-rich leaves, and certain flowers can all leave stubborn marks on a pool surface. Severe staining may require full replastering rather than acid washing alone.

Roughness
Pool chemicals gradually etch the surface when alkalinity and calcium levels drop too low. Depending on severity, we can resolve roughness through sanding, acid washing, or chelation.

Structural Cracks
Any crack in a pool surface deserves a professional look as soon as possible. Small superficial cracks called crazing are common after construction in extreme temperatures or when a pool sits empty too long after a remodel, but larger cracks may indicate deeper issues.

Plaster Discoloration
Errors in plastering, leaving a pool empty before refilling, or poor water balance chemistry such as high alkalinity and calcium levels causing scaling can all produce uneven coloring. We can replaster or install a durable pebble finish to address it.

Pool Resurfacing Materials We Offer

The right surface material depends on your budget, how you use your pool, and the look you want. We offer three core options and a popular hybrid, and we’ll walk you through the tradeoffs during a free consultation.

Plaster
The most traditional interior finish, plaster creates the protective barrier between pool water and the underlying concrete structure. It influences water color, pool ambiance, and sunlight reflectivity. We offer various colors and designs, including white plaster (a mixture of white cement and white marble) that helps resist cracking, decay, and discoloration.

Pebble
Smooth stones and round aggregates layered in cement give this finish its distinctive texture and visual depth. Pebble carries a 15- to 20-year lifespan on average and holds up exceptionally well against chemical corrosion and staining. It costs more upfront than plaster but can reduce long-term repair costs.

Concrete
Durable and versatile, concrete can be painted any color and repaired by sanding and re-pouring if a crack develops. It’s a solid choice for homeowners who prioritize flexibility and longevity.

Our 6-Step Resurfacing Process

Pool Resurfacing & Replastering is labor-intensive work where shortcuts show up fast. Our Certified Pool Operators follow a structured process using industry-grade equipment from start to finish.

• Draining: We drain the pool in compliance with local regulations on water discharge in New Jersey.
• Cleaning: Pressure or acid washing removes algae, stains, and residue from the existing surface.
• Surface prep: Hollow spots are removed and cracks are repaired before any new material goes down.
• Priming: A bonding agent is applied to help the new surface adhere properly.
• Finishing: Once the bonding agent dries, we apply the new plaster, pebble, or concrete surface.
• Drying & refilling: Refilling begins immediately or after one to three days, depending on the surface type.

Every technician on our team passes a background check, drug screening, and the National Swimming Pool Foundation CPO® exam before entering the field. Our proprietary technology keeps you informed about your pool’s status throughout the process, so there are no surprises.

Resurfacing vs. Full Pool Renovation

Most pools with surface damage don’t need demolition. Unless there are significant underlying structural issues, resurfacing can rejuvenate a pool’s original appearance and extend its useful life considerably. It covers the effects of harsh chemicals, rough weather, and debris, replacing a faded or stained liner with a fresh, clean surface. A small crack or minor stain may not require full resurfacing at all. We can give you an honest assessment during your free inspection before recommending any course of action.

What Pool Resurfacing Costs in Howell

Resurfacing costs depend on the finish you choose and the size of your pool. In recent years, the average has ranged from $10 per square foot to $12 per square foot of total interior area, with the final figure shaped by labor requirements and material selection. Standard plaster is the most budget-friendly option, while pebble finishes carry a higher upfront investment. Because pebble resists wear so well, pools with a pebble finish tend to go longer between resurfacing projects, which can offset that initial cost. Concrete typically falls between the two. Our team stays attentive to your requests and budget throughout the process, and the free inspection gives you a clear picture of the scope of work before you commit.

The Best Time to Resurface Your Pool

New Jersey’s pool season runs roughly from late spring through early fall, making fall and winter the natural window for resurfacing work. Cooler months work well because the pool isn’t in use, and unless the weather turns extremely cold, winter conditions don’t prevent the work from moving forward. Scheduling during the off-season may also mean greater availability. Finish the work now so your pool can be ready when warm weather arrives.
