When Cheap Contractors Resurface Pools (And Why You Pay Twice)
Here’s what happens when you hire the wrong contractor. They show up with a low bid, promise the world, and deliver a surface that starts failing in 2-3 years instead of lasting 15-20. You think you saved money. You didn’t. You just bought yourself a second resurfacing job way sooner than you should need one.
Three Ways Bad Resurfacing Kills Your Investment
- Sloppy Prep Work Guarantees Early Failure
The old surface needs to come off completely and cleanly. Shortcuts here mean your new surface won’t bond properly. You get delamination, bubbling, and failure within a few years. Proper prep takes time. Bad contractors skip it to save money and move faster. You pay the price later.
- Bargain Materials Break Down Fast
Cheap plaster might look okay on day one. By year three, it’s etching, staining, and developing rough spots that shred swimsuits. Florida sun and chlorine destroy low-grade materials. Diamond Brite and premium finishes cost more upfront but last three times longer. Do the math.
- Rushed Curing Means Weak Surfaces
New pool surfaces need a proper curing time to reach full strength. Contractors who rush this process deliver surfaces that crack under pressure and fail inspections. There’s no shortcut to chemistry. The surface either cures properly or it doesn’t. Most contractors gamble and hope you don’t notice until they’re long gone.
The Bottom Line?
You get what you pay for. The cheap bid today becomes the expensive redo tomorrow.
At Poolside Renos, we’ve spent 25+ years perfecting the process. We prep correctly, use materials that last, and follow proper curing protocols. Your surface will still look great 15 years from now because we don’t believe in doing the job twice.
How We Resurface Pools the Right Way (No Shortcuts, No Surprises)
Step 1: Free Inspection & Honest Assessment
We come to your property, inspect your current surface, check for structural issues, and discuss your options. You get a detailed written estimate with everything included. No hidden fees, no pressure tactics, no sales games. Just straight talk about what your pool needs and what it costs.
Step 2: Complete Surface Removal
We drain your pool and remove the old surface down to the shell. This isn’t a quick jackhammer-and-go situation. We work carefully to avoid damaging the structure underneath. Sloppy removal creates problems that haunt you later. We do it right.
Step 3: Structural Inspection & Repair
Once the old surface is off, we inspect the entire shell for cracks, weak spots, and structural issues. We fix problems now instead of burying them under a new surface. You need to know what you’re dealing with, and we won’t hide it from you.
Step 4: Surface Preparation
The shell gets acid-washed, checked for proper drainage, and prepped for maximum adhesion. This step separates contractors who care from contractors who just want your money. Proper prep is everything. Skip it, and your surface fails early. We don’t skip it.
Step 5: Permitting (When Required)
If your project needs a permit, we handle the paperwork and scheduling. Most resurfacing projects start about a month after permit approval. We build that into the timeline upfront so you’re never surprised.
Step 6: Professional Application
Our crews apply your chosen finish, Diamond Brite, traditional plaster, or premium quartz, using techniques we’ve refined over 25+ years. The application matters as much as the material. Rushed application shows up as inconsistent thickness, visible trowel marks, and premature failure. Our work looks professional because it is.
Step 7: Proper Curing & Startup
The surface needs time to cure and harden properly. We oversee this critical phase and walk you through the filling, chemical balancing, and startup procedures. We don’t disappear the moment we finish troweling. We stay until it’s done right.
Step 8: Final Walkthrough
We inspect everything with you, answer your questions, explain maintenance, and make sure you’re completely satisfied. We don’t consider the job done until you do.

Why Broward County Homeowners Choose Poolside Renos
Family-Owned Since 1998
We’re not a franchise, not a national chain, not some fly-by-night operation. We’ve been part of Broward County for over 25 years. Our reputation matters because we live here, work here, and see our customers at the grocery store. We can’t afford to do bad work. We don’t want to.
Brutal Honesty (Even When It Costs Us)
We tell you what your pool actually needs, not what makes us the most money. Sometimes that means talking you out of unnecessary tile work. Sometimes it means recommending a smaller project than you thought. We’d rather lose a sale than lie to you.
Diamond Brite Specialists
Diamond Brite isn’t cheap, but it’s what we recommend for Florida pools. The quartz aggregate makes it harder, more stain-resistant, and longer-lasting than traditional plaster. We’ve installed thousands of Diamond Brite surfaces across Broward County. We know what works.
No Games with Timelines
Most resurfacing takes 3-5 weeks from start to finish. We tell you that upfront. We don’t promise 2 weeks to win the bid and then drag it to 8 weeks once we have your deposit. Our timelines account for permitting, proper prep, and adequate curing. They’re realistic because they’re real.
Licensed, Insured, Local
We carry CPC licensing and comprehensive insurance. We’re not some guy with a truck working under the table. Your property is protected. Our work meets code. You won’t have issues selling your house because some unlicensed hack worked on your pool.
We Target Quality, Not Volume
We focus on homeowners in Weston, Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Parkland—areas where people understand that cheap contractors cost more in the long run. We’re not trying to do 50 pools a month. We’re trying to do excellent work on every pool we touch.

Highly recommend their services to anyone looking to bring their pool/patio back to life with a beautiful end result.”
