Restore Your Pool Without Starting Over

Aldo's Pool Plastering provides pool resurfacing services in Houston to refresh worn interiors and extend pool life.

Your pool in Houston sees heavy use during long summers, and over time the plaster surface becomes rough, stained, or uneven. You notice the waterline has discolored patches, and the shallow end feels gritty underfoot when you step in. Resurfacing gives you a fresh finish without tearing out the shell or starting from scratch, which means you keep the structure you already have while addressing the wear that shows up from years of chemicals and sunlight.

Aldo's Pool Plastering removes the old plaster layer, prepares the underlying gunite or concrete, and applies a new surface designed to handle Texas heat and water chemistry. We coordinate resurfacing with tile replacement and coping updates so everything transitions cleanly and the finished pool looks cohesive. You choose from durable plaster finishes suited to Houston conditions, and we schedule the work to minimize downtime during the season when you actually want to swim.

If your pool surface feels rough or looks tired, reach out to Aldo's Pool Plastering in Houston to discuss resurfacing options and scheduling.

What Changes When the Surface Is Replaced

We start by draining your pool in Houston, chipping away the compromised plaster, and inspecting the shell for structural issues that need attention before the new surface goes down. The prep work includes acid washing, patching any cracks in the gunite, and smoothing transitions around fittings and steps. Once the base is ready, we trowel on the new plaster in a single application to avoid seams or weak spots.

After resurfacing, you see a uniform finish from wall to floor with no rough patches or stains remaining. The water looks clearer because the surface reflects light evenly, and your feet feel smooth plaster instead of grit when you walk across the bottom. The pool holds up better against chemical imbalances and algae because the fresh surface has no pits or pores where buildup can start.

We use materials formulated for outdoor pools in warm climates, which means the finish resists fading and scaling longer than generic plaster. If you also update the waterline tile and coping during resurfacing, everything cures together and the color match stays consistent. The work typically takes a week from drain to refill, depending on weather and any structural repairs we uncover during prep.

Homeowners in Houston often have questions about timing, finish options, and what happens if the shell has damage underneath the old plaster. These answers cover the practical concerns that come up before resurfacing starts.

We Can Walk You Through What Fits Your Pool

How long does pool resurfacing take from start to finish?
Most resurfacing projects in Houston take five to seven days, including drain time, surface prep, plaster application, and curing before refill. Weather and any shell repairs can extend the timeline slightly.
What finishes work best in Houston pools?
We recommend plaster blends that resist scaling and UV damage, since Houston water is often hard and sunlight is strong year-round. You can choose white plaster for a classic look or add color for a custom appearance.
Why does the old plaster feel rough or stained?
Plaster wears down from chemical exposure, brushing, and mineral deposits over time. The surface becomes porous, which traps stains and algae, and the top layer can etch away, leaving a rough texture.
What happens if cracks show up during prep?
We patch structural cracks in the gunite before applying new plaster so the repair bonds properly and the surface stays smooth. Minor surface cracks are normal and get filled during the resurfacing process.
When is the best time to schedule resurfacing?
Spring or fall works well in Houston because temperatures are moderate and you avoid peak swim season. We can also work in summer if you plan ahead and coordinate around family schedules.
