Two Professional Coating Systems
We offer two coating options. Here's what you should know before choosing — for most pools we recommend ecoFINISH™ for its 10-year manufacturer warranty and long-term durability.
Marine-Grade Gelcoat
Proven Marine-Grade Protection
- Marine-grade resin system - the same technology used in boat hulls
- Smooth, classic finish - restores the original factory look of your fiberglass shell
- Classic White finish - bright, timeless look with brilliant light-blue water color
- Excellent chemical & UV resistance for Florida conditions
1-Year Warranty · Material & Workmanship
1-year material warranty + 1-year workmanship warranty
Material warranty provided by manufacturer and subject to their terms.
ecoFINISH™
Eco-Friendly Luxury Upgrade
- 10-Year Manufacturer Warranty - the strongest coverage available, vs gelcoat's 1-year
- 21 Premium Polymer Colors - vs gelcoat's Classic White
- Speckled, Granite-Like Texture - hides minor imperfections beautifully
- Applied Hot as a Thermo-Polymer - extremely tolerant to water chemistry, with superior stain & algae resistance
10-Year Manufacturer Warranty
Backed directly by the ecoFINISH™ manufacturer
Material warranty provided by manufacturer and subject to their terms.
Important Limitations to Understand
No coating system can guarantee against staining, discoloration, or damage resulting from chemical imbalance, improper maintenance, or environmental factors. Results depend on your pool's existing condition — structural issues, moisture, or prior damage may affect the final outcome. Resurfacing is a surface coating treatment, not a structural repair. The exact coating system for your pool is specified in your written estimate based on your pool's condition.
Our Honest Recommendation
Gelcoat restores the original smooth factory finish in Classic White at a lower cost, with a 1-year material and workmanship warranty. For most pools, ecoFINISH™ is the smarter long-term investment — a 10-year manufacturer warranty, 21 premium colors, and far less sensitivity to water chemistry. Call us and we'll walk you through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the resurfacing process take?
Typical 5–7 day process from start to finish, including assessment, preparation, any required repairs, coating application, and curing time. Actual duration is subject to site conditions, weather, and the extent of any repairs needed — some projects may take longer.
Should I choose Gelcoat or ecoFINISH™ coating?
Both are excellent professional solutions. Marine-Grade Gelcoat is our standard option - marine-grade resin technology with a smooth Classic White finish, 7-10 year lifespan, and a 1-year material and workmanship warranty. It restores the original factory look of your fiberglass shell at a lower cost. ecoFINISH™ is our premium upgrade - a 10-year manufacturer warranty (the strongest coverage available), 21 premium polymer colors, a speckled granite-like texture that hides imperfections, superior stain and algae resistance, and far less sensitivity to water chemistry. Our experts will assess your pool and recommend the best solution for your specific needs and budget.
How much does fiberglass pool resurfacing cost?
Costs vary based on pool size, condition, and specific requirements. We provide detailed, transparent estimates after our free assessment. Most projects offer competitive pricing with superior value due to our system's longevity and comprehensive approach.
Can you match the existing color?
Color matching is available through ecoFINISH™, which offers 21 premium polymer colors — we can match most existing pool colors from that palette, and samples are provided before application. Gelcoat comes in Classic White, the traditional fiberglass finish.
Do I need permits for pool resurfacing?
Most pool resurfacing projects don't require building permits since it's considered maintenance, not construction. However, we check local regulations for your specific area and handle any required permits if needed. Our team is experienced and dedicated.
What about structural repairs?
Resurfacing is a surface coating treatment — it does not fix cracks, active leaks, or structural shell movement. If your pool has underlying structural issues, those must be addressed separately before resurfacing can be applied. Results also depend on your existing shell condition; significant moisture, prior damage, or deterioration may affect the final outcome. We assess each pool honestly and will tell you upfront if structural work is needed first.
How do I prepare my pool for resurfacing?
We handle all the preparation work including draining, cleaning, and surface prep. You just need to ensure clear access to the pool area and remove any personal items from the pool deck. We'll provide specific instructions before starting.
What's included in the warranty?
Installation warranty covers workmanship only — application quality and adhesion issues.
Material warranty is provided by the manufacturer and subject to their terms.
Fiberglass — Gelcoat: 1-year material warranty + 1-year workmanship warranty.
Fiberglass — ecoFINISH™: 10-year manufacturer material warranty + 1-year workmanship warranty.
Concrete: 1-year workmanship warranty + manufacturer material warranty (terms vary by product).
IMPORTANT: Warranty validity and surface lifespan depend on maintaining proper water chemistry (pH, alkalinity, chlorine levels). Poor water chemistry can void warranty and significantly shorten surface life.
Why is water chemistry so important for resurface longevity?
The life of your resurface depends HEAVILY on proper water chemistry maintenance. Poor water balance is the #1 cause of premature resurface failure. Improper pH levels (should be 7.2-7.6), high chlorine concentrations, low alkalinity, or chemical imbalances will cause the surface to deteriorate rapidly - sometimes within months instead of years. We provide detailed water chemistry guidelines after completion, but consistent maintenance is essential to protect your investment and maintain warranty coverage.
